Question

What happens if I miss my turn in a live draft?

Accepted Answer

FootballDream drafts run live, with each manager picking in turn according to the snake order. If a manager isn’t present to pick, the draft can stall for everyone else waiting on that pick, so leagues generally agree a start time in advance and expect all managers to be logged in and ready.

To avoid holding up your league, join the draft room a few minutes early, keep the tab open for the duration, and have a shortlist ready so you can pick quickly when your turn comes around.
