Has anyone ever used this software for your live draft? Looks pretty cool as long as it operates as advertised. I'm looking at purchasing it for our draft ($20), and was wondering if anyone had tried it out?

Mohamed - have you used Clicky Draft? How was it?

Looks to be virtually the same thing, except they offer a free version.

we have a live draft (offline) in our conference room at work. We have used a draft room program in past that is shown on a wall mounted TV but the commish still has to manually enter the picks as they are selected... using Draftnight or Clicky Draft, everyone has control via their own ipad, iphone, laptop, etc... and the main draft board will be shown on the TV. Individual owners can use program to sort available players, by position and then when they are ready to pick they simply select from their device and it immediately shows up on the draft board and everyone's player list is updated.

Our draft isn't until next Tuesday... sorry

I think I'm going to go with Draft Night. I like the fact that everyone has control of their own player sorting and makes their own picks while still being in the live offline draft atmosphere. At $25, its just over $2/pp. for our 12 team league.

Do you know if DraftNight is good if only the commish wants to enter picks?

In other words, is it mandatory that all teams are logged into input picks?

like BilJ stated, I believe the commish has full control and can enter all of the picks. if not everyone has an ipad you can also set some up to control multiple teams and just pass it around so the commish doesn't have to do it all. The thing I like about this is that everyone has their own player list through the software that they can sort by position etc. and have the draft board displayed on TV/projector. It also removes drafted players from each persons list so you don't have to keep up with who has been selected.

I'm leaning clickydraft just because it lets you customize rankings, I don't think draftnight does
