How often are draft league games played?

Modified on Wed, 17 Apr at 9:54 AM

In draft leagues, the league founder sets game days and game times when a 3-game series is scheduled each week. This can range from one series a week through one series per day. 


If a user is playing against a computer team, the game can be played manually at any time beginning at 10am ET the day after the last series was played up until the cut-off time at 3am ET the evening of game day. For example, if games are played on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Wednesday’s series can be played at anytime beginning at 10am ET on Tuesday through 3am ET Thursday. However the game needs to be completed by the 3am cutoff time. If it is not completed, the game will be auto-played in its entirety.


If a user is playing against another human opponent, the game will launch at the scheduled game time. A 5 minute waiting period is granted after game time to allow both managers to show.  If after the waiting period only one manager shows then he will play against the other team’s computer manager. Once the game is started, a user cannot join mid-game. However, since games are scheduled separately 30-minutes apart, the user can join for a later game in the series if they are available then. If users realize ahead of time they cannot join at the scheduled game time, they have the option of re-scheduling the series for another time. This must be approved by the other user in order for the game time to move. If neither user joins the game on time, the game can be played by one user against a computer manager at any time up until the 3am deadline. If any games in the series are not completed by that deadline, the games will be auto-played.
