Live Draft

Create a draft

1. Open Live Draft and choose who picks first: Team A or Team B.
2. Set the ban time and the pick time in seconds (25 by default for both).
3. Choose the map. It is required: a draft without a map cannot start.
4. Click Create Draft. You land on the draft page as the captain of the team you chose.

Invite the other captain and spectators

Each team has its own link, recognisable by ?team=teamA or ?team=teamB. Copy Link copies the link of the other team: send it to the opposing captain.

• Captain link (with team=): can ready up, ban and pick for that team.
• Spectator link (the draft URL without team=): read-only. Spectators see the draft but cannot act, and the page shows “Spectating Draft”.

How a draft unfolds

1. Waiting for players: both teams click READY UP. The draft starts when both are ready. You can click again to un-ready.
2. Secret bans: each team selects 3 brawlers to ban without seeing the other team's choice. Click a brawler again to unselect it.
3. Ban reveal: both ban lists are shown at once.
4. Picks: six picks, alternating in the order A-B-B-A-A-B when Team A picks first, or B-A-A-B-B-A when Team B does. The team on the clock sees “Your Turn”.
5. Draft complete: a recap shows both teams and the bans.

When the timer runs out

• Ban phase: the missing bans are filled with random brawlers.
• Pick phase: a random brawler is picked for the team on the clock.
• A warning appears in the last seconds so nobody is surprised.

Connection and reloads

A badge shows Live, Reconnecting… or Disconnected. If your connection drops, the page reconnects on its own and receives the current state, so reloading the page does not lose the draft: reopen your captain link.

If the page says the draft was not found, the link is wrong or the draft no longer exists. Create a new one. More fixes in Troubleshooting.
