What is an online draft?

An online draft is a draft your group runs over the internet instead of in one room — each person picks in turn from a shared pool, and everyone follows the same live board from wherever they are. The app enforces the pick order and timer, prevents duplicate picks, and keeps the draft moving even if someone steps away. It is how you divide up players, items, or anything else fairly when your group cannot all be in the same place.

What kinds of drafts can you run online?

  • Fantasy football & fantasy sports — snake, keeper, best-ball, and auction drafts for your league, live or async. Fantasy football draft app →
  • Custom drafts of anything — paste any list and draft movies, games, Pokémon, board-game night, or your group's bucket list. Run a custom draft →
  • Slow / async drafts — when your group can't all get online at once, draft over several days with long pick timers and turn notifications. Learn about slow drafts →

How does an online draft work?

  1. Create a league. Sign up free and start a draft group.
  2. Add your pool. Paste the players or items everyone will draft from.
  3. Set format & timer. Choose snake or linear, how many rounds, and how long each pick gets.
  4. Invite your group. Each person joins through a magic link — no account needed.
  5. Start the draft. The first person is notified, picks come in on the live board, and auto-pick handles anyone who misses their turn.

What do you need to run a draft online?

Just a browser and a list. There is nothing to install — GetDraftedNow runs on desktop and mobile. The person setting it up (the commissioner) creates a free account; everyone else can join with a magic link and never has to register. Email or SMS notifications are optional but recommended so people know when they are on the clock.

Live vs. async online drafts

A live online draft happens all at once with short timers — fast and social, best when everyone can show up at the same time. An async draft runs over hours or days with long timers, so people pick when it suits them — best for groups split across time zones or busy schedules. GetDraftedNow does both with the same setup; the only difference is how long you set the pick timer.
