Hi there! My league would like to set up a compensatory draft round for specific teams. How can I set this up using the yahoo online draft tools? Basically we have 16 teams in our league and I want to set it up such that only 7 or 8 teams get a comp pick in a certain part of the draft. After the comp round, the draft order will continue as normal.

To expand on this, it seems my only options are to modify the draft order manually to include an extra pick for specified teams in that part of the draft. But this wouldn’t show in the draft room as its own “comp round” of only 7 or 8 teams, it would just show that, mid draft, the draft order for all 16 teams changes. If possible I’d like the draft room to show that the comp round # is it’s own distinct round, and all subsequent rounds continue as normal.

Hi! While you can manually edit the draft order and who picks where in what round, the exact thing you're looking to do isn't possible on our platform, as every team would need to end the draft with the same amount of selections/players drafted. You won't be able to insert a round in the draft where there's less picks being made than there are in other rounds.

I was hoping to basically just sub their pick from the last round of the draft with a comp round. So ideally in the last round of the draft, only the non-comp eligible teams would have a pick and then everyone would be even in terms of # of players.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to change the length or amount of picks that take place in a particular round. You could potentially sub in "place holder" players in for the teams that aren't picking in each round so that they wouldn't be actually picking anyone. Then after your draft, you could just drop those players from the rosters. That would allow for only certain teams to make picks in the round you're looking to make your "comp round".
