An offline fantasy football draft party is the ideal way to kickoff your 2024 fantasy football season. Whether you're a new startup fantasy football league, or you're entering your 10th season as a league, it's never a bad idea to bring your draft party offline.
Creating a custom fantasy football draft board doesn't have to be complicated or stressful.
In this guide, we will walk you through the process, how to use our tools, and how to make an epic fantasy football draft board that your league will be proud of.
Step 1. Pick your draft board style
We offer two custom draft board styles. One contains a thick black background around the entire board, while the other is a blank canvas. Neither option is "better" than the other, as it depends on the final look that you're after.
Base Option 1: Fully Custom Fantasy Football Draft Board
Base Option 2: Thick Border Custom Fantasy Football Draft Board
Step 2. Pick your draft board background
This is where the fun begins.
You can choose one of our gallery images for your fantasy draft board or you can upload your own custom design.
If you decide to choose one of our gallery images, pick the thumbnail and get a live preview of what the board will look like.
If you decide to upload your own fantasy football draft board background, here are some tips.
If you are choosing your own photo... Choose a high quality photo (typically any photo taken from an iPhone or Android will suffice).
You can choose to shame the loser of your fantasy football league by uploading an embarrassing photo, such as his junior prom date photo or a picture of the loser doing something he would not be proud of.
You can also choose to celebrate the champion by uploading an image that shows the champions true dominance over the league.
