HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. No scheduling required.

Set it up once, send the link, and let the draft run itself in the background while life happens.

Drafts run over hours or days. Your group picks when they can.

It keeps moving — even at 2 a.m.

Queue-ranked auto-picks fill in for anyone away. Linus drafts in his sleep.

Bad pick? Wrong drafter? Edit, undo, regenerate invites, even reset rounds.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

A slow draft (also called an async draft) lets everyone pick on their own schedule instead of all being online at the same time. Each drafter gets notified by email or SMS when it's their turn and has a configurable window to make their pick — from 30 seconds with no hard upper limit. Auto-pick covers anyone who misses their timer so the draft keeps moving. The result is a draft that fits around real life instead of requiring a shared timeslot.

GetDraftedNow is designed for custom drafts with any item pool. Unlike ESPN or Yahoo which lock you into sports rosters, you can paste in any list — movies, Pokemon, songs, historical figures, beers, anything. Every feature works the same: snake or auction format, pick timers, auto-pick queues, realtime boards, and email or SMS notifications. It's the only major draft app that doesn't require a fixed item catalog.

Yes. GetDraftedNow supports all standard fantasy football draft formats: snake, linear, third-round reversal, and random last round. Set your pick timer from 30 seconds for a live draft up to however long your league needs for a fully async draft. Invite your league with magic links (no account required for drafters), configure auto-pick behavior, and send turn notifications by email or SMS. Free to create a draft.

Yes — creating and running a draft on GetDraftedNow is free. There is no subscription, no credit card, and nothing to install. It runs in any modern browser on desktop or mobile.
