ALWAYS:
- ALWAYS plan for a long day.
- ALWAYS start as early as possible.
- ALWAYS bring refreshments. You will get hungry and thirsty.
- ALWAYS keep your player information organized. You must be able to reference
it quickly. Keep your player stats as simple and concentrated as possible.
- ALWAYS remember if you do not feel absolutely great about a player, let him
go.
- ALWAYS keep track of everyone's spending and roster at all times.
- ALWAYS start your bid at $1.
- ALWAYS bid $1 at a time. Be patience. Do not panic or jump amounts.
- ALWAYS save a stash of money for the laste draft rounds.
- ALWAYS remember to never reveal your "hand" or show your emotions.
Pretend you are playing cards. Wear your poker face. Know when to bluff, hold or fold!
- ALWAYS take your time. When you rush is when you will make a critical mistake.
- ALWAYS take frequent rest breaks to clear your mind and prevent fatigue.
- ALWAYS remember that two heads are better than one. If possible bring a friend
to serve as your draft assistant.
