Pick teams

Everyone joins on their phone. Then you decide who makes the teams: you, the captains, Draftastic or each person.

Everyone joins with a code and their name.

You make a draft in about a minute. People scan the code on the big screen, or open your link. They type their first name. They do not need an app or an account.

You can also paste a list of names, or upload a spreadsheet.

On the big screen

Hand-pick

You decide.

You put each person in a team. Tap a name, then a team, or drag the name.

Good for: small groups you know well.

On your laptop

Captains

The captains decide.

Captains pick on their phones, one at a time, against a clock. After each round the order turns, so the last captain picks first.

Good for: the classic pick, without the wait.

On the big screen. Each captain picks on their phone.

Deal

Draftastic decides, fairly.

Deal makes even teams in one go. It uses people’s answers, such as their skill from 1 to 9. Each team then has almost the same total.

You can keep two people together, or keep two apart. Or use Mix for random teams.

Good for: fair teams fast, with nobody picked last.

How Deal works. You see the teams first, and you can change them.

In words

Draftastic decides, from your words.

Write the teams you want, the way you would say it. AI reads the rules in your words. Draftastic makes the teams and checks every rule.

Good for: special requests that are easy to say.

On the big screen. You type the request on your laptop or phone.

Choose

Each person decides.

Each person picks a team on their phone. When a team is full, the next people join its waiting list. You can set a closing time.

Good for: sign-ups, where people pick their own side.

On a player’s phone

Preferences

Everyone has a say.

Each person names up to 3 people to play with, and 2 they would rather not. The lists stay private. Deal then keeps as many wishes as it fairly can.

Good for: school groups and socials, where friends matter.

How Preferences works

Show the teams one name at a time.

Showtime counts down on the big screen. Then each name joins its team, one by one. Every phone shows the team at the same moment.

You can also show all the teams at once.

On the big screen

Then play

If you only need teams, you can stop there. Or play with the teams you made. Draftastic makes the matches and a timetable.

A score can be points, a time, a distance, or just who won.

League

Everyone plays everyone. The table decides.

A win gets 3 points, and a level score gets 1. For less time, play a shorter league. Each team then plays a few rounds, against teams on about the same points.

You can add a knockout at the end for the top 2, 4 or 8 teams.

Good for: the fairest result, when you have time.

8 teams · 28 matches, about 1 hour 40 minutes on 4 pitches

Groups, then knockout

Small groups first. Then the best go through to a knockout.

Each group plays a short league. The top 2 in each group go through. The other teams can play on in a plate, a second knockout of their own.

Good for: tournaments where every team plays several matches.

8 teams · 15 matches, about 1 hour 10 minutes on 4 pitches

Knockout

Win and you go on. Lose and your run ends.

With Second chance, a team can lose once and play on. Lose twice and its run ends. You can also add a third-place match.

Good for: a short event with one clear winner.

8 teams · 7 matches, about 40 minutes on 4 pitches

Scoreboard

Every team scores in every round. The total decides.

Use it when teams do not play each other, such as a quiz or a sports day. Rounds can add up, or give points for each place.

The highest score can win, or the lowest, or the fastest time.

Good for: quizzes, sports days and races against the clock.

8 teams · 6 rounds, about 1 hour 25 minutes

Enter a score. The rest updates itself.

You enter the two numbers on your laptop or phone. The table, the bracket and the big screen change at once. When teams are level on points, the table says which rule puts one higher.

If you make a mistake, change the score. Draftastic first tells you what else will change.

On the big screen

Each phone says where to be next.

Each player sees their next match: the time, the pitch and the other team. Then the score, and their place in the table.

On Noah’s phone

The final ends with the champions.

After the last score, the winners’ colour fills the big screen. Then their names appear, one by one.

Afterwards, you can download every result as a spreadsheet.

On the big screen

Who sees what

One pick or one score reaches every screen at once.

You, the organiser

Uses A laptop or your phone. A co-organiser can help.

Sees One button for the next step, and Undo.

The room

Uses A TV, a projector or a stream. A TV joins with a code.

Sees Who joins, each pick, the teams, the tables and the champions.

Each player

Uses Their own phone, with no app.

Anyone else
