Add and Configure Teams
The Teams step controls which fantasy teams appear in the room and on the TV broadcast.
Add the correct number of teams
A DRAFTNIGHT.tv league can contain between 2 and 32 teams.
Use Add another team to create additional teams. Use the remove button beside a team to delete it from the setup.
Every team must have a name before you continue.
Enter the team name
The team name appears throughout the draft, including:
- The TV lobby
- The on-the-clock display
- Team introductions
- Pick announcements
- Phone controllers
- Draft results
Team names should be recognizable enough that owners can identify the correct team when joining.
Choose a team color
Each team has a primary color used throughout the broadcast.
You can select a color for each team individually or use Randomize colors to create a starting set.
Choose colors that remain easy to distinguish on the TV, especially when teams have similar logos.
Upload a team logo
Select the logo area beside a team to upload an image.
Team logos appear in the lobby, controller, broadcast, and results recap. A logo is optional, but using one creates a more personalized draft presentation.
Use a square or nearly square image with a transparent background when possible.
Configure keeper assignments
Keeper controls only appear when the league format is set to Keeper.
First choose the keeper cost mode:
- No Round Cost
- Round Cost
Expand a team, search for a player, and add that player to the team’s selected keepers.
In Round Cost mode, choose the round that each keeper will occupy.
A player can only be assigned as a keeper once.
Review the team list
Before continuing, confirm:
- Every fantasy team is included.
- No team appears twice.
- Names are spelled correctly.
- Each owner will know which team to claim.
- Logos and colors belong to the correct teams.
- Keeper assignments are accurate.
The draft order is configured in the Draft Settings step. The order in which teams appear during team setup does not prevent you from rearranging their picks later.
Editing teams later
Team names, colors, logos, and team count can be changed while team information remains unlocked.
Once the draft reaches the league’s slot-consumption round, team information becomes locked. Keeper assignments and draft settings can still be edited between canceled rooms unless the draft has been completed.
