🎯 The GM Draft Room Playbook

1. Log into playmrl.com with Discord, same as always.
2. Open /draft/room and leave the tab open all night.
3. Star a few players into your Queue before your first pick.
4. When it's your turn, click a player, then Draft to confirm.

The draft room lives on the website — there's nothing to install and nothing to run on anyone's computer.

You'll land in the room automatically as the GM of your organization — no setup required. Anyone can watch the draft unfold with no login needed at /draft-view.

Each pick gets 60 seconds. The countdown lives on the server, so you, the commissioners, and the stream all see the exact same number.

It's a snake draft — the pick order reverses every round so no team picks last twice in a row. This season the snake is continuous: it doesn't reset when a new tier begins. Whoever picks last in the final round of one tier picks first in the opening round of the next.

Below is today's actual Round 1 order, carried through the start of Semi Pro, so you can see exactly where your organization lands.

The same pattern repeats at every tier boundary: Semi Pro → Academy, and Academy → Development. 4 tiers × 5 rounds = 20 rounds, 12 picks each = 240 picks total.

1. When your organization is on the clock, the room banner reads "YOU ARE ON THE CLOCK" and you're pinged in Discord.
2. On the Players tab, filter by position, search a name, or sort any column — rank, Elo, overall, or last season's stats.
3. Click a player's name to open their player card: pre-draft Elo, all-time overall, legacy tier, and stat lines from last season, this season's showcase, and their career.
4. Click Draft next to a player (or on their card) to stage the pick.
5. Confirm with Draft [Name]. It's final the moment you confirm — the board, your roster, and Discord all update within a couple of seconds.

The Draft Board tab shows the whole draft two ways: Rounds (the pick grid) and Rosters (every team's slots, filled or open, grouped by tier) — useful for scouting who still has holes to fill.

Set a queue

Star any player to add them to your Draft Queue, ranked in the order you'd take them. When your pick comes up, anyone with pick access for your org can draft the top available name in one click — Draft #1 from queue.

Grant pick rights

In the room, open Pick Rights and authorize your Assistant GM, a tier manager, or any player you've already drafted to pick on your behalf. Revoke it any time — before, during, or after the draft.

• You may only pick for your own organization — the room simply won't let you draft for anyone else.
• A player is off the board the instant they're drafted; if two people click at once, the second click is rejected with an explanation, not silently ignored.
• Pick swaps between organizations are entered by the commissioners before or during the draft and show a ⇄ traded marker on the affected pick.
• If a mistake is discovered later — wrong player, wrong slot — commissioners can correct that single pick without disturbing anything drafted after it. Flag it in Discord as soon as you notice.

Something look wrong, or the room won't load? Post in the GM chat and tag a commissioner — we'll be watching throughout the draft.
