It’s draft night here in the development and just like last year, I’m armed with OneNote for my draft cheat sheets. This year, I’m using info from the same site as last year: FFToolbox. Instead of piles of printed paper, I’ll be drafting with my Samung Q1P UMPC and (new for this year), the Sierra Wireless 875U AirCard. I’d rather not rely on the commish’s WiFi that everyone will be hogging. Unfair that I have a mobile advantage? Perhaps, but after about 10 years of drafting for fantasy football, using OneNote sure beats papers everywhere. I found that out last year when it never took me more than 15 seconds to make a pick.
I’ve already used the Snipping Tool in Vista to capture all of the player info. I have a new OneNote notebook just for the draft and there’s a page for each player position plus a page with the Top 100 picks. As we draft, I’ll use the highlighter in OneNote to cross off the players taken both on their position page as well as the Top 100 page if they’re ranked. BTW: one of the non-mobile tech secrets to good drafting? Pay attention to the bye weeks. There’s nothing worse than taking two good players in the same position that have the same bye week. ;)
