Web based fantasy sports draft app

Hoot Draft makes running drafts for fantasy sports a real hoot! (dad jokes sold separately)

Large color-coded draft board updates live during the draft and is made with large screens and projectors in mind!

Player autocomplete - don't waste time spelling names or picking teams and positions. Select a suggestion and get on with it!

Drag and drop depth charts for each team helps managers answer "What does my team need?" in a pinch!

Every league has "that one" manager who spends way too much time choosing a kicker (come on, Kevin!) Keep it fair with customizable pick timers!

Managers can wheel and deal their picks and their unselected future picks at any point while the draft is still ongoing!

Thats cool! What else does it do?

• Support for: NFL (normal and extended rosters) NBA, MLB, NHL, and Super 15 (Rugby) sports!
• Real time updates across all devices
• Responsive design to enable mobile device support
• Google Chromecast support

Ah crud, I don't know how to run a web server or anything like that!

I was thinking you'd say that...

No problem! Sign up for a free commissioner account on hootdraft.com and get drafting today! :-)
