Q. What is "Corrugated" and why are your draft boards better than your competitors?

A. Corrugated  is the material that shipping boxes are made of. It is a rigid material and allows the draft board to stand up by itself. We use glossy, pure white corrugated which gives the draft board a beautiful look and finish. Our competitors use a flimsy sheet of paper that has to be taped up on a wall, severely limiting where and how it can be used. Their paper draft board also comes to you folded in many squares, which makes it hard to flatten out. Our draft board is flat after you set it up, and you don’t have to worry about  ripping it, or be concerned if you want to write on it. And no more repairing walls with paint and spackling compound!  Since many drafts are conducted in bars, it is a big advantage to have a free standing draft board that can be used anywhere.

Q. Why do some leagues prefer to use labels and some prefer writing in their picks?

A. Labels make for a nice, neat orderly draft, with few mistakes being made on the draft board itself. Once a player is picked, his label is gone and can’t be used again. The draft board is very neat and easy to read. The downside to using labels is that it rewards the owner who comes to the draft unprepared. By having all the unpicked player’s labels available for viewing, you run the risk of that "unprepared" owner blundering into one of your sleeper picks later in the draft. By using a write-in draft board, every owner is on his own. If he didn’t prepare for the draft, or doesn’t know who is left, he will suffer with bad picks, and you run less of a risk of him finding that sleeper pick that you spent hours researching. The downside here is that the board will probably be harder to read, and if someone writes in a player that has already been selected, you’ve got to use "white-out".  For these reasons, we offer draft boards in both formats. There is no "best" way to do a draft. The "best" way for you is the way that your league prefers.

Q. How do I expand your draft board to accommodate more than 16 teams or more than 23 rounds?

A. We offer optional 20"-high stands to expand the draft board to 30 rounds. We have a limited number of 32 round stands in 14 and 16 team versions. We also offer panels that can accommodate an unlimited number of extra teams. We will also customize a draft board for you. Please call us and tell us what you need.

Q. Why are your draft board prices slightly higher than your competitors?

A. There are two reasons for this. First, our draft boards are made of rigid corrugated material rather than paper, and cannot be folded or rolled the way that paper draft boards are. This is a good thing, because you get a solid draft board that doesn’t have an abundance of creases. And secondly, because our draft board is much more substantial, it weighs more, which causes our shipping costs to be a little higher. For a slight bit more money, you get a HUGE upgrade in quality!
