CaptainHow it works
Make the teams, then play, all from one link. Each guide shows the real screens, step by step.
Make the teams
Five ways to make teams, from picking them yourself to Draftastic dealing fair ones. Then show them to the room.
Hand-pick the teams
Tap a person, then a team. The room watches each name land, and each person’s phone shows their team.
Let captains pick
Captains take turns to pick on their phones, with a timer if you want one. The room watches each pick.
Make fair teams with Deal
Draftastic shares people out so the teams come out even, and shows you how fair they are. Or say what you want in your own words.
Let people choose their team
People put their own name down for a team on their phones. When a team is full, a waiting list starts.
Ask for preferences
People say who they’d like to be with, and who they’d rather not. Deal keeps as many wishes as it fairly can.
Show the teams
Show every team at once, or one name at a time for a big moment. Each phone turns to its team.
Play
Choose how you’ll play and enter the scores. Everyone follows on the TV and on their phone.
Choose how to play
A league, groups then a knockout, a knockout, or a scoreboard. Draftastic makes the matches and a timetable.
Enter the scores
Two numbers, a time, a distance or just who won. The tables and the bracket update themselves.
Follow it live
The TV shows each result as it lands. Every phone shows where and when to play next.
Let players enter scores
Players enter their own scores and the other team agrees. You only check the ones that don’t match.
Good to know
- People join with a link or a six-character code and their name. Nobody needs an account.
- Your own crest and colour lead on the TV and on every phone.
- Choose School and the careful settings for children are already on.
- Every screen works with larger text, for anyone who wants it.
- It’s free, and there’s nothing to install.
