Conduct the draft

Run multiple drafts at the same time

If you run or participate in a few leagues and there's some overlap in draft times, you can open the drafts in separate browser windows (like Firefox and Chrome). Each browser operates independently from each other.

Pause a live draft or undo draft picks

If something unexpected comes up and your league needs to take a quick break, you can pause the draft up to 20 times for up to 60 minutes. While paused, you can also undo draft picks.

Pause a draft

From the lower-left, click the Draft Settings icon
Click Pause Draft.
Select a pause length.

Undo a draft pick

While paused, you can check Select All to undo every pick or check the box next to specific players to undo individual picks.

Reset your fantasy draft and start over

If a manager didn't join the league pre-draft, you need to edit roster positions, your draft switched to autopick, or you need to adjust any "Pre-Draft Only" settings, here is how you can reset the draft.

Are you sure? All results, stats, and transactions from your current draft will be permanently deleted.

To reset while the draft is ongoing or paused:

From the draft room, clickSettings|Reset Draft.
Click Reset Draft to confirm.
Click Go to commissioner tools to adjust your settings.

If you click Leave Draft then your draft will be automatically rescheduled 7 days out. You can change the draft date, or choose the next available time slot by following the steps in the 'Change your draft's date or type' section of this help article.

To reset after the draft is completed:
If your draft has completed, you'll need to allow 90 mins before you can schedule a new draft time after you reset the draft. You can reset a completed draft up to 3 times.

From Yahoo Fantasy, mouse over Fantasy | select a sport.
Click the Commissioner tab.
Click the Draft & Keepers tab.
Click Reset Draft.
Click Reset Draft again twice to confirm.
