We’re excited to announce that FanDraft is now available for sports beyond fantasy football! Starting today, FanDraft will now be offering support for fantasy baseball, fantasy basketball, and fantasy hockey. All of these new additions have the same amazing features as our flagship FanDraft Football product, but now available for use in these new fantasy sports.

I love the existence of a “Toilet Bowl” in fantasy football leagues. It provides some much-needed irreverent mischief for many casual leagues. That said, we’re here to provide you with an alternative concept that is both engaging and functional: “The Losers Bracket”

It's the mission of FanDraft to create a more entertaining and engaging draft experience, while also keeping things organized and running smoothly for the commissioner….

Are you looking for any last-minute ideas to make your in-person fantasy football draft even more extra?

A lot of fantasy leagues have generally started their playoffs in week 14 of the NFL season. Doing so this year is problematic because there are 4 teams that have a BYE in week 14 (Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles)…

Some leagues like to assign a set quantity of random players to be assigned as "Whammy Players". These leagues will then penalize an owner that had the misfortune of selecting this player, by having them do something like "take a shot of alcohol".

If you’ve ever searched for a list of “Best Fantasy Football Podcasts”, you’ll notice it’s almost always the usual suspects. However, there are some real gems out there that you may have not considered, or even knew existed.

We just released a couple of small features that we wanted to bring light to.
Although these new additions are relatively small, these user-requested features may be very helpful to a select number of leagues.

The Commissioner’s Corner Newsletter is dedicated to providing tips & ideas to improve your fantasy football league.

If you look at online social platforms such as Twitter or Reddit come August, you’ll see a lot of people voicing their opinions on other people’s drafts. The opinions are always based on the drafter’s deviations from consensus rankings.

It is often an after--through, but the amount of time you (the Commish) set for the draft pick timer can have a profound impact on your draft. If you set it very for too short of a time period, you are just going to fly through your draft and it’s going to end before you could even enjoy it…

If you’re ever curious about what’s new and changing on the FanDraft platform, we keep an up-to-date “Change Log” on our website here. However, what’s listed there can be a bit general, so we thought it would be nice to focus in on a few of the new features in FanDraft ‘22 this year…

Every off-season we work to improve the FanDraft application, adding new features and/improvements with the goal of constantly delivering a better draft experience…

A couple of weeks back I wrote an article about “5 Easy Ideas to Step-Up Your Draft”, which included the idea of having the prior year Toilet Bowl loser wear a decorated toilet seat around their head for the duration of the draft.

Most commissioners will mirror their display onto a TV. However, if you want to hide the picks being entered or having something else up on your laptop other than FanDraft, you can "extend" the display to perform this. This will allow you to run two browser instances of FanDraft.

It’s a given that your league already uses a draft board. And, of course, we hope that you are using the FanDraft Draft Board, because nothing will step up your draft party like that.
