Once you're on the Profile page, click the "Update" button next to the field labeled "Password." In the next screen, you will be presented with text fields to enter your current password and your new password. Once this is done, your password should be updated.

Click the user icon in the top right corner of the page. This will open a dropdown where you should click the link labeled "Sign Out". This will initiate the sign out process and navigate you back to the LiveDraftX homepage.

In order to create a draft, you'll need to login to your LiveDraftX account. Once you've signed in, there should be a red button labeled "New Draft" at the top right of the page. Click this button and start configuring your draft.

If you have not yet verified your email address, LiveDraftX will prevent you from creating a new draft, and the "New Draft" button will not appear. Go to your Profile page and complete the verification process first.

On the second page of the Create Draft sequence, go to the section labeled "Draft Order." By default, LiveDraftX assigns names "Team 1," "Team 2," etc. as the team names for the draft. However, you can click into each of these names and update them to the correct value. For every team you do not specify a name for, LiveDraftX will retain the "Team N" moniker.

Note: The order in which the team names appear in this section will also be the league's draft order.

LiveDraftX uses these email addresses for the following reasons:

• Draft Notifications: LiveDraftX broadcasts two email notifications to your fantasy league: 1) informing other league members that your draft will take place on a specific date, and 2) that your fantasy draft has completed with an email attachment with the results.
• Account Linking: If one of your league members also has a LiveDraftX account, they will be able to view the draft details and results on their own accounts.

Adding these email addresses is optional, and you can restrict who LiveDraftX sends emails to. LiveDraftX also does not sell, rent, or lease email addresses to third parties, in accordance with our privacy policy.

Disabled draft options are shown if the draft configuration you've selected (Basic, Pro, or Premium) does not support the listed draft option. For example, if you've selected a Basic Draft, you are not eligible to select the Keeper Draft option, since it is a Premium feature.

There are two ways to change your draft configuration:

• In the upper right corner of the page, there is a small button that indicates your current draft configuration. If you wish to upgrade your draft to Pro or Premium, you can click that button and select the proper upgrade option. This will upgrade your draft in place and enable you to select any draft options that are newly supported.
• If you wish to downgrade your draft to Pro or Basic, you will need to click the button marked "Previous" at the bottom of the page until you reach the very first page, where you can re-select your draft configuration.

LiveDraftX uses your roster settings (i.e. how many players of a certain position you can start) to calculate how many rounds your fantasy draft will take. Additionally, LiveDraftX uses this information to show you a view of every team's roster, sorted by position, if you switch to the Roster View in the middle of the draft. This viewing mode helps league members determine what positions to target in the upcoming rounds.

Once you've selected the Auction/Salary Cap Draft option in the Draft Type page, there should be a new section that is displayed showing the configurable Auction Draft options. These include setting the overall Budget/Salary Cap, changing the minimum bid amount, and specifying the Auction Draft Nomination Order.

To change the Budget/Salary Cap and the minimum bid amount, you can click into the input box and modify the numerical value or use the up and down arrow keys to get to the right value. To change the Nomination Order, select the proper order among Linear, Snake, and Highest Bid.

Note: You will need to select a Pro or Premium draft configuration to select the Auction/Salary Cap Draft option.

On the Draft Type page in the Create Draft flow, select the option labeled "Custom Draft Order." Once you've done that, a table showing the round-by-round draft order should appear, with every round defaulting to "Snake" order. In order to change a particular round, find the proper round entry in the table and modify its value.

Note: You will need to select a Premium draft configuration to select the Custom Order Draft option.

You do not enter keeper picks during the draft creation process. After your draft has been created, you can go to your draft details page and enter your keepers in there.

For more info on this, check the "How do I select keepers" section in "Updating a Draft."

You can turn on the "Trade Picks" option while creating your draft, but the trades themselves are entered afterward. Once your draft has been created, head to its Draft Details page to add them.

For more info on this, check the "How do I enter draft trades" section in "Updating a Draft."

Once your draft has been created, it should appear on your dashboard once you've logged in. Go to https://fantasy.livedraftx.com and look through your list of Upcoming drafts to find it. If you still do not see it, make sure to select "All" on the status filter to the left of the draft list.

Once you've found your draft, click anywhere on the information card to enter the Draft Details page, where you will see a summary of the draft options that you've configured for the draft.

Navigate to the Draft Details page for your draft. Once there, find the section corresponding to the setting you want to change and hit the "Edit" button. This should morph the current section into a number of editable fields, where you can make your updates, as long as your draft configuration supports it. Don't forget to click the "Save" button once you're done with your edits.

Navigate to the Draft Details page for your draft. At the top right corner of the page, you should see a small button corresponding to your current draft's configuration. As long as your draft is currently in the Upcoming status (i.e. you have not started your draft yet), this button should be clickable and should expose a dropdown with a few upgrade options. Select the proper draft configuration.

Navigate to the Draft Details page for your draft. Scroll to the very bottom of the page, where you should see a section labeled "Draft Order" with a table summarizing the currently set order. Click the "Edit" button within the "Draft Order" section to make it editable: each row is a team, with fields for its name and an optional email.

The order runs top to bottom, so the first row drafts first, the second drafts second, and so on. To rearrange, grab a row by its pick number on the left and drag it to the right spot; its name and email move together.

The number of rounds in a draft is controlled by the number of picks you're allowed for each position, including Bench spots. So for example, if you wanted to decrease the number of rounds from 15 to 14, you could lower the number of Bench spots from 6 to 5.

Note: Basic drafts have a limit of 16 total rounds, Pro drafts have a limit of 20 rounds, and Premium drafts have a limit of 30 rounds.

Navigate to the Draft Details page for your draft. On the fourth section down from the top, you will find a section labeled "Advanced Features." Click the "Edit" button and make sure "Trade Picks" is checked. A Trades panel will appear showing how many trades you've submitted so far; click its "Manage" button to open the trade editor.

Inside the editor:

• Click "Add Trade" to create a trade. Each trade appears as its own card.
• For a straight two-team swap, choose the two teams and the round each one is trading away.
• To bring a third team (or more) into the same deal, click "Add Team." The trade becomes a rotation: each team's pick goes to the next team on the card, and the last one wraps back around to the first.
• Use the remove buttons to drop a team from a trade or delete a whole trade.

Every trade needs at least two different teams, and any given pick can only be traded once, so the "Apply" button stays disabled until each trade is valid. Once everything looks right, click "Apply" to close the editor, then don't forget to hit the "Save" button on the Advanced Features section to lock in your trades.

Note: Please make sure your draft order is finalized before entering any trades so that LiveDraftX can process them properly. Trades can only be added or changed while the draft is still upcoming.

If your draft is configured as a Keeper Draft, there should be a "Submit Keepers" button next to the "Start Draft" button at the top of the Draft Details page. Clicking that button will take you to a page showing a draft board where you can insert your keepers.

In order to find the right keepers to select, type the player's name into the search bar at the top of the page. The player cards next to the search bar should be updated as you type. Once the correct player appears, you can either click that player's name and then click the grid cell corresponding to where the player should be placed (a two click process), or you can click and drag that player onto the correct location.

If you make a mistake while entering keepers, there is an Undo button at the bottom right of the draft board which will undo the last selection. You can also replace a keeper directly, without undoing: drag a new player on top of an existing keeper (the cell turns into a red "Replace Player" target) and drop to swap them. For Auction Drafts, make sure to insert the correct auction value in the "Amount" field next to the search bar, so that the team's budget is properly deducted.

Once you have selected all the keepers, be sure to click the yellow "Save Keepers" button at the bottom of the draft board, next to the Undo button.

In order to exit the draft board, click the Exit icon (the icon that looks like a door) at the very top right of the draft board. Until the draft is started, you can make subsequent modifications to your keepers by clicking the "Submit Keepers" button, which will take you back to the draft board.

Navigate to the Draft Details page for your draft. Go to the very first section of the Details page which should be titled "Draft Information." Click the "Edit" button, which should morph the section into a number of editable fields. The very last field in this section should have a red button that lets you delete your draft.

Note: Once you have started your draft, you cannot delete it. Deleting a draft is only available for drafts in the "Upcoming" status. If you've already started a draft and still need it removed, reach out to us over live chat, by email, or through our contact form, and we'll see what we can do.

Navigate to the Draft Details page for your draft. At the very top, there should be a large red button labeled "Start Draft." Clicking that button will lead you to a page showing a draft board. At the bottom right of the draft board, there should be a section labeled "Start Draft" with a green "Start" button. Click that button to commence the draft.

Note: You will be unable to make edits on the Draft Details page once you have hit the green "Start Draft" button. Make sure all of your draft settings are correct before proceeding.

In order to exit the draft board, click the Menu icon (the three-line icon) at the very top right of the draft board and select "Exit." This should save any uncommitted changes to the draft board and take you back to the Draft Details page.

In order to maximize the draft board and remove the space occupied by the browser's URL bar, click the Menu icon (the three-line icon) at the very top right of the draft board and select "Maximize."

If you want to leave the maximized state, you can either select "Minimize" from the same menu or hit the Esc key.

Once you've started the draft, a search bar labeled "Player" should appear at the top of the draft board along with a handful of cards with player names on them to the right of it. In order to select a player, start typing the name of the player you want to draft into the search bar. The player cards on the right will update as soon as you start typing and reflect what's currently being typed into the search bar.

Once the correct player appears in the autocomplete section, there are two ways to select the player:

• Click Method: Click the player card you want to select from the autocomplete section
  • For non-Auction drafts, this will automatically drop that player onto the team that's currently selecting.
  • For Auction drafts, this will update the draft board to show what spots that player can be drafted to with the label "Pick Your Player." Click any of the open spaces to complete the pick.
• Drag and Drop: Click and drag the player card onto the correct open spot. As you start dragging the player, the draft board should update to show you all the available grid cells (labeled "Pick Your Player") for the player to be dropped.

Note: For Auction Drafts, make sure to insert the correct auction value in the "Amount" field next to the search bar before you commit the selection, so that LiveDraftX will properly deduct the team's budget.

On a phone (or any window narrower than a tablet), the draft board switches to a mobile view built for small screens. The top of the page shows who's on the clock, the timer, and the most recent pick, and the tabs underneath switch between the Round, Teams, and Keepers views.

To make a pick, tap the "Draft Player" button at the bottom of the screen (or any open slot in the Round view). A full-screen search opens with a search bar and position filters; tap the player you want, then confirm with the "Draft" button. For Auction Drafts, you'll also choose the winning team and set the final price before confirming.

To fix a mistake, tap the pick you want to change and choose "Undo this pick" (available on the most recent pick) or "Replace pick." For keeper drafts, keeper changes on mobile are saved automatically as you make them, so there is no separate Save button.

Settings, single-pick Autodraft, fullscreen, and Exit all live under the ⋮ menu at the top right of the page.

On the draft board page, next to the search bar, there should be a dropdown input labeled "Position." Adjusting this field restricts what players are returned in the autocomplete cards to only players who qualify for the specified position.

For Auction Drafts, at the top of the draft board next to the search bar, there should be a number field labeled "Amount" where you can adjust the winning auction bid amount. Make sure to enter in the final auction amount before you select the player. Once the player is added to the draft board, the new owner's budget will decrease automatically.

Note: LiveDraftX prevents players from being drafted onto a team that does not have sufficient budget. Make sure to set the auction amount appropriately before selecting the player.

For non-timer drafts, at the bottom middle of the draft board, there should be a section labeled "Autodraft" with a yellow button labeled "Draft." Click this button to have LiveDraftX make an autodraft selection.

The Draft Timer is only enabled if you've selected the timer option when creating your draft. Once you've started the draft, the bottom middle of the page should have a section labeled "Timer" with a countdown displayed. The countdown shows how many seconds are left for the current team to make a draft pick. If the countdown ever reaches zero, LiveDraftX will make an autodraft selection for this team. The countdown will also automatically turn red during the final five seconds.

In order to pause the timer, click the Pause icon (icon that has two lines) underneath the Timer label. This will halt the countdown's progression at whatever its current time is. In order to continue its progression, click the Play icon (the triangle icon). The icon that is displayed underneath the Timer label indicates the current Play/Pause state.

Note: Draft Timer is a Pro/Premium feature only.

At the bottom right of the draft board, there should be a section labeled "Undo" which shows a player card of the previous draft pick. This section doubles as both an indication of what the previous draft pick was as well as the location to correct any previous mistakes.

To correct the pick that was just made, click the Undo icon (the icon that looks like a curved arrow) at the bottom right of the draft board, or on the previous player card itself. This reverses the board back to before that selection.

To fix a pick from earlier in the draft, use Replace instead of undoing everything since: drag a player card from the autocomplete onto the drafted player you want to change. The cell turns into a red "Replace Player" target, and dropping there swaps in the new player while leaving the rest of the board untouched.

There are two ways to get this information:

• At the bottom right of the draft board page, there is a section labeled "On the Clock" which will indicate whose turn it is to make a draft pick or make an auction nomination (for Auction Drafts).
• At the top of the draft board where the team names are displayed, the team highlighted in red indicates who is currently on the clock.

On the left side of the draft board, the current round number is highlighted in red.

For Auction Drafts, the current round is calculated by taking the total number of picks and dividing by the total number of players. This calculation also includes any Keeper picks.

For Keeper drafts that have been started, in the bottom left of the draft board there is a section labeled "Current View" with a dropdown menu. Within that dropdown, there is an option labeled "Keepers" which will modify the draft board to highlight all of the current Keeper picks.

To go back to the standard draft view, go back to the section labeled "Current View" in the bottom left and select the "Round-by-Round" option. This will bring you back to the original draft flow.

For Keeper drafts that have been started, in the bottom left of the draft board there is a section labeled "Current View" with a dropdown menu. Within that dropdown, there is an option labeled "Keepers" which will modify the draft board to highlight all of the current Keeper picks.

Once you've changed the view to "Keepers," on the bottom right of the draft board, there is a section labeled "Edit Keepers" with a yellow Edit button. Clicking on that button will allow you to draft more keepers or to undo any previous Keeper picks. To commit your Keeper changes, click the yellow Save button in the section labeled "Save Keepers" that is also on the bottom right of the draft board.

To go back to the standard draft view, go back to the section labeled "Current View" in the bottom left and select the "Round-by-Round" option. This will bring you back to the original draft flow.

For drafts that have been started, in the bottom left of the draft board there is a section labeled "Current View" with a dropdown menu. Within that dropdown, there is an option labeled "Roster" which will re-arrange the draft board and sort all picks by position. This is an excellent way of viewing what positions a team still has left to draft for.

For Auction Drafts, LiveDraftX uses the auction price to determine starters and bench players. For non-Auction Drafts, LiveDraftX uses pick order instead.

To go back to the standard draft view, go back to the section labeled "Current View" in the bottom left and select the "Round-by-Round" option. This will bring you back to the original draft flow.

For drafts that are underway, open the "Current View" dropdown in the bottom left of the draft board and select "NFL Teams." This lays out the entire player pool in columns, one per NFL franchise, with each team's players grouped by position and sorted by ranking.

Players who have already been drafted are dimmed, so the ones shown at full brightness are exactly who's still on the board, an easy way to scan an NFL team for its best remaining option. Any unsigned players appear in a "Free Agents" column at the far right.

To go back to the standard draft view, return to the "Current View" dropdown in the bottom left and select the "Round-by-Round" option.

Once the entire draft board is filled, there will be a section labeled "Finish Draft" at the bottom right of the draft board. Click on the green Finish button. This will pop up an alert asking you to confirm that the draft is finalized. Please make sure there are no more changes to be made before you click this button.

Once you have completed the draft, you have the option of going back to the homepage or staying on the draft board to review your picks.

Once your draft has been completed, it will appear on your dashboard under the Completed section on the bottom of the page. Go to https://fantasy.livedraftx.com and look through your list of drafts to find it. If you still do not see it, make sure to select "All" on the status filter to the left of the draft list.

Once you've found your draft, click anywhere on the information card to enter the Draft Details page, where you will see a summary of the completed draft. At the very top of the page, there should be a button labeled "Draft Results" which should take you to a view of the finalized draft board. You will be able to sort picks by round or by roster by modifying the Current View.

Additionally, upon the completion of the draft, we will also send an email to you with a picture of results from the draft.

Yes! To allow remote league members to draft remotely, create a Premium Draft and select the "Remote Draft" option in the Advanced Features section. You must assign the remote league member's email address to their corresponding team name in the Draft Order, and they must have created a LiveDraftX account using that same email address. 

Open the Menu (the three-line icon) at the very top right of the draft board and select "Settings." On the "Board" tab, you can adjust the card width, card height, and font size of the grid cells that make up the draft board using the +/- controls. Changes apply instantly, so you can watch the board resize as you go. If you want to get back to the original values, a "Restore defaults" button appears whenever the board differs from its defaults.

To close Settings, click the X at the top right, hit the Esc key, or click anywhere outside the panel.

In an Auction Draft, the cell directly underneath each team's name shows that team's auction info. By default it displays both values at once: the team's remaining budget and its maximum remaining bid (the most it can still bid on a single player).

If you'd rather see just one of them, open the Menu (the three-line icon) at the very top right of the draft board, select "Settings," and set the "Auction display" control on the "Draft" tab to "Budget" or "Max bid." Whichever value you hide still appears when you hover the cell, and "Both" (the default) keeps them both on screen.

To close Settings, click the X at the top right, hit the Esc key, or click anywhere outside the panel.

Open the Menu (the three-line icon) at the very top right of the draft board and select "Settings." On the "Draft" tab, set "Sort results by" to "Name." This will instruct the draft board to return search results in a strictly alphabetical manner, without taking rankings into consideration.

To close Settings, click the X at the top right, hit the Esc key, or click anywhere outside the panel.

Open the Menu (the three-line icon) at the very top right of the draft board and select "Settings." Open the "Autodraft" tab. It lists all the teams currently in the draft, each with a toggle indicating whether LiveDraftX will draft for that team. Go through the list and switch on the appropriate teams. Note that this tab is only visible to the commissioner.

To close Settings, click the X at the top right, hit the Esc key, or click anywhere outside the panel.

LiveDraftX puts each player's previous-season stats right on their card, so you can size up a pick without opening another tab.

• On a computer, hover your mouse over any player card, in the autocomplete search, on the board, or on the last-pick card, and a panel appears with that player's stats from last season. Move the mouse away or press Esc to dismiss it.
• On a phone, the same stats show up when you pick a player: tap "Draft Player" to open the search, choose the player you want, and their stat line appears above the "Draft" button before you confirm.

The panel shows last season's real box score for that position: passing for quarterbacks, rushing and receiving for running backs and receivers, kicking for kickers, tackles and sacks for individual defenders, and points and yards allowed for team defenses, along with games played and years of NFL experience. Rookies read "No NFL stats yet," and a veteran who sat out last season reads "No stats last season."

Player stats are on by default. To hide them for everyone (for example, if your league bans draft aids), open the Menu (the three-line icon) at the top right of the draft board, select "Settings," and turn off "Player stats" on the "Draft" tab.

Every draft board has its own link, and anyone you give it to can follow the draft live. You'll find it in two places:

• On the Draft Details page, the "Share Link" row shows the link with a "Copy link" button next to it. The button reads "Copied!" once it's on your clipboard.
• On the draft board itself, open the Menu (the three-line icon at the top right) on a computer, or the ⋮ menu at the top right on a phone, and select "Share board." That opens the link alongside a QR code and its own "Copy link" button.

The link is short enough to read out loud, something like https://fantasy.livedraftx.com/d/AB12CD34, and it isn't case sensitive. It points at the live board, so picks show up for everyone watching the moment they're made. Drop it in the league group chat and you're done.

Note: sharing is included with every draft, Basic, Pro, and Premium alike.

No. Anyone with the link can watch, signed in or not, from any browser on a computer, phone, or TV.

The QR code goes to the same place as the share link, and it's handy when everyone is in the same room: put it on the big screen and the whole draft party can point their phones at it.

• On the Draft Details page, the "QR Code" row shows the code. Click it for a bigger version.
• On the draft board, "Share board" in the Menu (or in the ⋮ menu on a phone) opens a "Scan to Follow Along" panel with the code, the link underneath it, and a "Copy link" button.
• Before the draft starts, commissioners also get a QR tile in the top left corner of the board on a computer, so the room can scan it off the screen while everyone is still settling in. Click it to enlarge.

No. Everyone following the share link gets a read-only board. They can watch picks land, flip between the Round, Teams, and Keepers views, and look up who's still available, but they can't draft, undo, or change anything.

Drafting stays with the commissioner, plus any remote league members in a Premium Remote Draft.

Yes! Once you complete the draft, the same link shows the finished board, so anyone who missed it can still see how it shook out. Live updates stop at that point, for the obvious reason that there's nothing left to update.

Yes, very safe! We use a trusted third party payment processor called Stripe, which is the company responsible for handling credit card transactions for a large portion of the Internet, including large companies like Google, Salesforce, Lyft, and Zoom.

LiveDraftX makes sure to adhere to all of Stripe's best practices, and Stripe uses the latest and greatest in security standards to ensure that all transactions they handle are safe. For more details on Stripe's security practices, you can visit their website.

At the beginning of the draft creation process, you have the option of selecting a draft configuration that is suitable for your league, including two paid options: Pro and Premium. If you have selected one of these draft configurations, you will be greeted with a Payment Information panel upon clicking the Complete button at the bottom of the final Summary page. There you will need to enter your credit card information (e.g. name, address, credit card number, expiration, etc) in order for the payment to be processed.

Once you have put in all the requisite information, click the Confirm button at the bottom, and the credit card payment will be processed. If there is a credit card processing failure, an error message will appear below the credit card field.

If you decide you don't want to use LiveDraftX but have already issued a payment, you can initiate a refund by simply deleting the draft. Navigate to the Draft Details page for the paid draft, and go to the very first section of the Details page which should be titled "Draft Information." Click the "Edit" button in the top right of the section, which should morph the section into a number of editable fields. The very last field in this section should have a red button that initiates the delete draft process.

Note: You cannot delete a draft after you have started it (i.e. you have clicked the green "Start Draft" button on the draft board). If you want to test out the LiveDraftX drafting experience, please use the Test Drive feature instead. If you have already started the draft, but still feel like you deserve a refund, you can reach us over live chat, by email at support@livedraftx.com, or through the Contact page.

On the Payment Information page, there will be a text field labeled "Coupon Code" that is just above the credit card field. There you can enter in any of the coupon codes given to you. Once you click away from the Coupon Code field, LiveDraftX will check whether the coupon code is valid; this process will only take a few seconds to complete. If we have verified the code, the new price should be reflected at the bottom.

Note: Only one coupon code may be used in a credit card transaction.

Coupon codes fail for multiple reasons:

• Coupon expired: Some coupon codes have an expiration date, so they may no longer work after a certain date.
• Coupon used: Some coupon codes are only one-time use, so if you've used the coupon code before, it may not work a second time.
• Coupon not applicable: Some coupon codes can only be used by a specific group of users. If your account is not included in this group, then you may not use the coupon.

Yes! If your coupon is valid, you can use it any time you submit a payment, whether you're creating a draft or upgrading one.

Yes! LiveDraftX refreshes its database of players on a daily basis. While sudden roster changes (e.g. trades, free agent additions, etc.) may not be reflected in a few hours, they should be absorbed within a day. This includes practice squad members as well.

Yes! On a phone, the draft board switches to a mobile view built for small screens: one-handed drafting, a full-screen player search, and the same real-time picks as the big board. Every draft type works, including auctions and keepers.

Want to see it first? The Test Drive works on your phone too.

Not yet. For now, LiveDraftX runs entirely in your browser, so there's nothing to download to start drafting. A native app is on our roadmap; we're just not putting a date on it until it's ready.

No. Unfortunately, many of the popular fantasy football providers (e.g. Yahoo or ESPN) do not have a way for third parties like us to upload draft results to their site.

A snake draft is a fantasy draft where the team who selects last in one round selects first the next round. This is the most common type of fantasy draft.

A linear draft is a fantasy draft where the team who selects first in one round will select first the next round.

When you create a draft with a custom draft order, you will be able to select the draft order for each and every round of the draft. For example, you may select the first three rounds to draft in a Linear Draft order, and the final  rounds to draft in a Snake Draft order.

An Auction Draft, also known as a Salary Cap Draft, is a type of fantasy draft where each team is given a draft budget (typically $200) and bids on players that they want for their roster. The team who offers the highest bid is able to add that player to their roster, and that player's auction amount is then deducted from the team's budget.

One key point about an Auction Draft is that teams must always have enough money to complete their roster. Thus, for an Auction Draft with 15 roster spots and a minimum bid of $1, a team must have at least $15 to complete their roster.

During an Auction Draft, each auction cycle is comprised of two stages: 1) a team nominates a player to be put up for auction and 2) teams bid on the nominated player in the hopes of adding them to their roster. The process of deciding what team should be next to nominate a player depends on the Auction Draft Nomination Order.

LiveDraftX currently supports three Auction Draft Nomination Orders:

• Linear: The team who nominates the first player in one round gets to nominate the first player in the next round. This is the most common Nomination Order.
• Snake: The team who nominates the last player in one round gets to nominate the first player in the next round.
• Highest Bid: The team who bids the highest amount for a player in one auction cycle nominates the next player in the next auction cycle.

A Keeper Draft is a draft where teams are allowed to retain possession of a player that they owned the previous season. Different fantasy leagues will have different rules on which players are eligible to be kept. Typically, keepers are selected before a fantasy draft begins, so as to take them out of the pool of draftable players.

A Dynasty League is a special kind of fantasy league where most (if not all) of the players on a team come from their roster in the previous season. You can think of a Dynasty League as being a specialized version of a Keeper Draft League. Additionally, some Dynasty Leagues can continue even throughout the off-season, where teams are able to trade players even when no NFL games are being held.

In some fantasy leagues, teams are allowed to swap future draft picks with each other as a means for trading for players. In this scenario, teams are said to have committed a Draft Trade. A trade can be a straight swap between two teams, or a three-way (or larger) deal where picks rotate among several teams at once. When this occurs, teams have the chance of drafting multiple players in a single round, or be left out of a round entirely.

A Draft Timer is a time limit placed on teams to make a draft pick within a restricted duration. Draft Timers are typically used in order to keep drafts running at a reasonable pace.
