Leagues Sharing Draft Pools

dw001da · 02-25-2025, 10:41 AM

I see the periodic lament of lack of attention to associations, which I understand. For me, the main draw of associations is the ability to share draft pools. I would like to see that functionality expanded.

Can you add the ability for leagues to share draft pools, but actually draft on different dates? This way we can more organically get leagues with differing talent levels from top to bottom without having to do so much manipulation of creation modifiers.

Thanks.

From my understanding (which is very little), this would take considerable amount of work which is why it hasn’t happened yet. I hope we will see it one year - I’d be shocked if it’s anytime soon.

I may have missed where this was ever discussed. Which part is the heavy lift? It seems to me that linking leagues to draft pools is nearly accomplished already with associations, no?

An alternative solution would just be to set a hierarchy for the draft.

League 1 completes all of their rounds before League 2 starts drafting, etc.

League Associations get little use, which is partially why it has seen little love. I do think the problem is that it isn't quite functional enough to use easily...and I think its' usage would go up significantly if it got some love

Yes, that seems like a lower-lift solution - but I'd prefer the functionality to live outside of associations altogether.
