Is it 1 week before the drat? For the live Main Events, we assign them as soon as we sell out or likely a week beforehand when we close off signups. So for the first weekend events of Sept. 3rd, our goal is to close off signups on Friday, Aug. 26th and announce draft picks that night or on Saturday, Aug. 27th. If we have to extend the deadline by a day or two we will, but our goal is to get the draft spots to all of you about 7 days in advance.
For the second weekend's Primetime drafts in Las Vegas and Online, the timeline remains the same. We'd like to close off signups on Thursday, Sept. 1st and post draft spots on Friday or Saturday, Sept. 2-3. We'll be very busy with the live drafts, so Friday morning is more likely than later that weekend. Again, we could extend the deadline for that weekend, but that's the plan now.
The Auctions and Draft Champions Leagues, Supers and other live private leagues will also get their draft spots after leagues have filled and hopefully a week or more before their drafts. We don't pick the draft spots as soon as the league is filled and paid for because KDS allows folks to weigh their options and strategize about their desired draft spot before Draft Day. Therefore we wait a little closer to the draft date before picking the random order.
I hope this helps. Good luck all and don't wait until the last moment to secure your spots. Thanks all.
