For the past two years, my buddy and I have been developing Drafteon, a browser-based draft league management tool. This passion project has been long in the making, and I'm super excited to share it with everyone. Like everyone else, I had run all of my draft leagues using Google Sheets and decided there simply needed to be something better.

Drafteon offers a wide varierty functionality, support, and features:

• Live draftboard that allows you to set a draft timer, automatically draft queued picks, and commissioner tools to skip turns, override picks, and pick for others.
• Pre-built draftboards in a variety of formats (and in the future, generations) so that you can quickly hop in a draft without scouring the Internet for a draftboard.
• Extremely robust league settings to accommodate for all of the different rules, options, and setups people like to use in their leagues, including for different terastallization settings.
• Directory to find leagues that are currently looking for coaches, where you can apply to join and commissioners can recruit new members.
• Powerful draftpool filtering allows you to search for the exact Pokemon to fit the needs of your team.
• Automatic schedule generation, allowing for different setups like bye-weeks, series lengths, and conferences, and playoff-bracket generation for the postseason.
• Users can manage their own rosters, dropping and picking up Pokemon or changing Tera captaincy, without commissioner involvement and an activity feed that tracks any actions.
• Dynamic standings page that tracks a calculated match of the week, renders coach rankings and playoff qualifications, as well as Pokemon season leaderboards for a variety of metrics. These metrics contribute to the sitewide Statistics page that helps you track all of performance metrics of any Pokemon.
• One-click import for Pokemon Showdown links to update match scores and stats, as well as manual cartridge match entry that automatically update the rest of the application.
• Analytic tools like the Draft Lab that help you plan your draft or roster changes, and matchup tools like the Calculator that helps plan for your match week to week.

A few quick FAQ:

1. Why is there a subscription tier? This was something we had a tough time with. We wanted to avoid ads as much as possible, because...well, ads. And we are very committed to collecting as little personal data as we can to run the application, and guaranteeing that we sell none of it. Unfortunately, we still have to keep the lights on, so we tried implementing a way to support the long-term life of Drafteon as minimally-invasive as we could.
2. Will Champions be supported on Drafteon? Yes, we already have all of the new mega evolutions in our database, and are just waiting for format and ability confirmations. Once we have those, we'll push an update out ASAP to support all the new stuff!
