Commissioner Settings

1. Yahoo Connection

If your league drafts inside Yahoo, connect it once and picks sync automatically — no manual transcription, no typos. Requires YAHOO_CLIENT_ID, YAHOO_CLIENT_SECRET, YAHOO_REDIRECT_URI, and YAHOO_LEAGUE_KEY set in Vercel (see README.md). Draft-day syncing — including the every-20-seconds live sync — lives on the Draft Day page, with the board it fills.

2. Draft Date

Shown on the public draft board, and counted down to on the homepage. Time is optional — leave it blank if you've only locked in the day.

3. Draft Mode

Mock and Testing exist so the board can be wiped and re-run while you rehearse. Live is the real draft: once the draft date above is in the past, resetting the board is locked out — on the server as well as here, so a tab left open from yesterday can't wipe a draft in progress.

4. Draft Order Setup

Draft order is drawn from a hat each year. Yahoo sync backfills this automatically from round 1 — or set it by hand below before the draft starts. Drag a row by its handle to reorder; a team’s traded picks and everything already on the board move to its new slot with it. Changing who sits in a slot without dragging leaves that slot’s trades where they are. Reordering is refused once a Live draft’s start time has passed.

5. Player Database

Powers the player autocompletes — the keeper form below, and pick entry on Draft Day. Pulls the NFL player list from balldontlie's API into Supabase — run it once before draft day, and again if rosters change (trades, waivers). Takes a few minutes since the free API tier is rate-limited.

6. Keepers & Traded Picks

Set these before draft day. A keeper is recorded as that team's pick in the round the rules assign it (prior-season round, after any Bump Up), so it fills its cell on the board and the draft skips over it. A traded pick keeps its place in the snake order — only the team making it changes — matching the rule that the acquiring team gets an extra pick in that round and the original team loses theirs.

Traded Picks

Pick trades are a swap: each side gives up a pick, and the two must be from different rounds. Example — Quattro Formaggio trades its 10th rounder to Bad News Hilts for their 3rd rounder. The Firesale limit is enforced here: per round band (rounds 1–3, 4–7, and 8+), each team may trade away one pick and trade for one pick per season. Tick Override league rules to push a trade through anyway — the commissioner's call sticks, and the trade is flagged as an override in the list below.

7. Board Colors

Every recorded pick is tinted by the drafted player's position, and the key sits above the board. Change a color here and the swatches update as you drag — nothing is stored until you hit Save. Saving applies it for everyone watching the live board, instantly. Related positions travel together: FB is colored as a Running Back, and PK and D/ST as Kicker and Defense.
