Beginners Guide to Draft League
A cohesive guide on draft league, written by Rissoux. It's a great resource to learn the basics of the format, as well as to find a gateway into the wider community, you can find it here.

Sample Draft Boards
These are draft boards created by the subforum staff, while we won't cover every format (there's just too many variations of draft to appease everyone), we will try provide them for all major formats, you're free to edit them to fit your own league.

Prep Help Spreadsheet Templates
These are made by other individuals, and while their works are not affiliated with the subforum itself, they are valuable tools to help you with your prep. We've linked multiple different templates so that you can find the right one for you. For all of these sheets, you have to make your own copy (you do this by clicking File -> Make a Copy).

League Spreadsheet Templates
A basic template for a 16 coach, 10 week-long draft league. A guide on how to use it can be found on the Setup tab of the sheet. You can find it here. Created by Nyx.

Example Draft League Spreadsheets
These belong to unaffiliated draft leagues, they're great examples of how draft spreadsheets can look, as well as giving some basic insight into rulesets and how others have successfully ran their leagues.
