The AFL Gets A Draft Room, Twice
A live board for your conference's draft — the picks as they land, who's on the clock, the pool, your queue and the room chat. It opens on YOUR conference, because the AL and the NL are two different drafts that happen to share a season, and the last thing an NL owner needs on draft weekend is a screen full of the AL's picks.
The Full Story
The League has had a draft room for two years. The AFL has had a spreadsheet's worth of browser tabs. That ends now — with one wrinkle that took longer to get right than the room itself.
The AFL doesn't hold a draft. It holds two. The American League gets in a room, sets a clock and picks in front of each other. The National League runs an email draft that unspools over days while people are at work. Same season, same rules, completely different events — and MyFantasyLeague only records one setting for the whole league, so software that trusts the feed gets one of the two wrong every time.
So the room asks which draft you mean, and then commits to it. Land on it as an NL owner and you get the NL board, the NL's twelve teams, a clock that counts in hours because that's how your draft actually moves, and a button that opens MFL's email-draft page. Land on it as an AL owner and you get a clock in minutes and the live draft applet. Switch to the other conference whenever you like — it'll say plainly that you're watching someone else's draft and won't pretend you're on the clock.
Everything else the room already did comes along: the board fills as picks land, the pool sorts by redraft ADP with search and position filters, you can stack a queue, and there's chat. It sits with the rest of the draft tools — the draft hub, the order, the big board and every draft we've ever held — one click from each other along the top.
