I have a question: if you lock the first 4 players with "Any round" set and in position #15 you have an unlocked player but with "Round 1" specification, who will be the drafted player?

In other words, which order has the priority: any round (even if iti is locked) or "Round 1"?

P.S.: I know it is on the manual.

It is possible to add a dedicated "draft round" for each player on the board. On each draft round the engine uses those "dedicated players" first. If no "dedicated player" is available during a certain round, the engine picks ordered but without taking dedicated draft round settings into account. This feature is especially useful when you are without internet access over the course of the 3-day draft.

It will be #15, since a dedicated round has priority over any round.

And this is what I think happened here. However, of course I cannot bring up any proof - but to me it sounds like that

I am positive that I didn't set round priority. I've never ever used those. Also, this RZA account is completely new, I didn't make any changes in past to Draft Board for example. I just picked 5 players at the top of my board.

But anyway, we cannot find out happened, so I will let it go For role playing purposes, picking a QB is not bad at all!

I have one more question. Below are the messages for round 1 and 2 I see on the pinboard:

Round 1: Player Albert Jacobs drafted on pick #4 (dedicated pick) using your draftorder #15

Round 2: Player Haydn Williams drafted on pick #36 using your draftorder #1

Why does it say dedicated pick in the first message?

Means that a round priority was active.

Good one, did not see this during the first check. Yes, in your order 15 you set "round 1", and this is why it says "dedicated pick".

So, you picked #4 with your order #15, which was dedicated to round 1.

Then I must have done it by complete accident. Still hard to imagine as it's on the far right of the screen and the buttons you use to sort are all the way on the left. But i will admit defeat

At least a good story point in my role playing. watch that blog space. I already thought of a very good an dramatic story line

Thanks to everyone for chipping in and to Pete for being patient

I was also wondering how this could have happened. It still looks odd to me but this is the best explanation possible for the issue. At least it would make a great intro for your new adventures on RZA.

I was able to change it by accident, using my mouse wheel. If you scroll using the wheel and the pointer hoovers over the round settings, you might have chnaged it that way. Depends on your browser and some random curcumstances, but possible.
