I guess being from NSW, the NRL doesn't have a draft system.
basically with the live draft everyone who is joined the league will pick their players, with the order pre-defined. For example you might have the first pick so you can select Lebron, then I have the second pick and I pick Chris Paul.
The draft then goes on and on until all the managers fill their teams.
Auto Draft means that the system will pick the players for each team? based upon the rankings of each player?
So 1st October is next thursday, are you able to select the date you wish the live draft to occur?
