From player list to draft night in minutes.
Set up your event, bring in your players, invite your coaches, and run a live draft your players can watch from anywhere. Here is exactly how it works, step by step.
Every step, start to finish.
Event setup
Name your event, set the date, add a logo or flyer, and choose how many teams you are building.
Player import
Bring your players in by spreadsheet upload, copy/paste from Facebook, or manual entry.
Coach invites
Invite coaches by link so they can claim a draft spot and name their team before draft night.
Draft settings
Pick your draft style, set the round order, and decide whether to run a formula draft or a live coach draft.
Live draft
Run the draft live with animated pick reveals, an on-the-clock countdown, and projector or stream-ready display.
Player lobby
Players join from their phones to watch every pick come in and see teams take shape in real time.
Final rosters
The moment the draft ends, rosters are locked in and every player can see their team and where to go next.
Upload your players, your way.
However you collect signups today, Draft Diamond meets you there. No reformatting, no fighting with templates.
Spreadsheet upload
Upload an Excel or CSV file and map your columns. Your existing signup sheet just works.
Copy/paste from Facebook
Paste a list of names straight from Facebook comments, group posts, or chat and let Draft Diamond sort it out.
Manual entry
Add players one at a time when you only have a handful or need to fix a last-minute signup.
