Over the past few years, hundreds of thousands of people have used our live draft software to host their fantasy drafts in real-time. The number one complaint we saw was that the Java plugin made it a huge pain. Plus it didn't work on mobile and tablet devices.
That's about to end.
Today we're opening up our new live draft room for testing. It works on any device—no extra plugins, apps, or downloads required.
You can try it out right now, by playing in a mock draft: NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL. To learn more about what's new (and what's coming soon), read on.

Compatible with any browser/device
Unlimited pause time—you can suspend a draft overnight and continue it the following day

What's Missing

No player queue
No auction support
What's Coming Later
Fully automated drafts
Export results to a spreadsheet
Choose your draft position (slot) in a mock
...And many more small enhancements
How You Can Help
Please try a mock draft from one of the links above and let us know what you think (or E-mail us directly at info@fleaflicker.com). Because this is an early release, you may even encounter some bugs. With your help, we'll have everything fixed in just a few days.
Auto-picks should have been 5-seconds - it took too long to test! Missed the Queue and audio alerts, so happy to hear they will be there, the sooner the better. Otherwise, liked it - and being able to draft from tablets would be really great!
Audio notification when my pick is up would be sweet.
Also, I closed it and came back (which worked fine!) but I lost chat history. (Update: after 2nd closing I got a new team when I went back in. I'm sure this is test-related though).

Agreed. If I'm the only person drafting against a bunch of bots, it shouldn't be 15 min between picks.

Just FYI, I also was able to do one on my iPad Mini - very happy about that! Cannot always do everything on the Mini that can be done on an iPad.

Superb. Would love to hear an estimated launch date!

Hopefully we can get enough testing and our plan is to get it out there as soon as we can!

1. Working on audio notifications down the line, absolutely
2. Yes, that is test related
Thanks, DaveH!

I have a draft on 8/24. Will I be able to draft from my iPad?
FleaMod AdminWed 8/13/14 3:19 PM
That's the plan. If you can try out a mock draft and send us any feedback, that would be ideal! Thanks again.
