Go live with your Halloween candy draft
Build the pool
Start from the ready-made Halloween Candy Draft template in the marketplace, or upload your own CSV of candies.
Invite the group
Share one join link. Set the order (or randomize it), choose snake, auction, or hybrid, and everyone readies up in the lobby.
Draft it live
Synced clocks, live chat, and sound alerts keep 3–15 people locked in from the first pick to the last.
The full draft engine, included
Every feature works for a Halloween candy draft out of the box. No add-ons, no per-seat fees.
Draft literally anything
Upload a CSV with unlimited custom rating columns, or start from a community or system template. Players, teams, prospects, keepers — if it fits in a list, you can draft it.
Snake & standard drafts
Run classic linear or snake drafts with configurable rounds, roster sizes, and per-pick timers that keep the board moving.
Budget auctions
Full nomination auctions with live bidding, anti-snipe extensions, max bids, and minimum increments. Salary caps optional.
Hybrid format
Auction the top N of your board, then snake-draft the rest. The best of both worlds in a single event.
Truly live & synced
Server-authoritative clocks keep every manager on the exact same second. Drop off and reconnect anytime — your seat is waiting.
Auto-pick on the clock
Nobody likes waiting on an AFK manager. Optional auto-pick takes the best available by rank the moment the timer hits zero.
Friends, invites & lobby
Add friends by username, invite them to your event, set or randomize the draft order, and ready-up together in the lobby.
Live chat & sound alerts
Talk trash in real time and get an audible heads-up when you are on the clock. Zero email spam, zero refresh-to-see-the-pick.
Public spectating
Open the doors and let the league, the group chat, or the whole internet watch your draft unfold pick by pick.
Pro-grade board tools
Search, sort, and filter the pool by position, team, and any custom rating. Never scroll past your sleeper again.
No duplicate picks, ever
Database-level locks and a per-event mutex make double-picks and race conditions impossible, even with a full room bidding at once.
Template marketplace
Browse ready-made community and system templates for dozens of sports, or publish your own for the world to draft.
Photos on every pick
Add headshots or logos to every draftable item so the board looks like a broadcast, not a spreadsheet.
Works in ChatGPT and Claude

Anonymous auction bidding
Hide bidder identities during the auction for pure, poker-faced price discovery. No tells, no collusion.

Halloween Candy Draft questions
How do I run a halloween candy draft?
Pick a template (or upload a CSV of your candies), invite everyone by link, set the order, and hit start. The draft runs itself on a shared clock — most groups are drafting within five minutes of signing up.
Does everyone need an account?
Anyone drafting needs a free account so their picks are theirs, but joining takes seconds from the invite link. Spectators need nothing at all — flip on public spectating and they just watch.
Can we do this with a remote or hybrid team?
That is the point. The clock is server-authoritative, so everyone sees the same board and the same countdown whether they are in the conference room or three time zones away. Auto-pick covers anyone stuck in a meeting.
What if we have nothing to draft from?
Start from a template in the marketplace and edit it, or paste your own list into the CSV template we generate for you. A halloween candy draft pool is usually one column of names.
When should we schedule it?
The last week of October is the natural moment, but you can schedule a draft for any date and time and everyone gets the same link. Everyone you invite plays free, however many people join.
How much does it cost?
$9 to take one draft live, or $49 once for a LiveDraft Lifetime license: unlimited drafts, unlimited participants, every feature, forever. Setting up a draft and inviting players is free. Start with a single draft and Lifetime is $38 after it. Neither is a subscription, and there are no per-seat fees.
Do the people I invite have to pay?
No, and they never will. Everyone you invite plays free, forever. No seats, no per-player fees, no account upsell. Only the person running the draft needs a license, so a twelve-person league's draft costs $9 in total.
Is it a subscription? Does it expire?
Neither. You pay once and the license is yours permanently — no renewals, no expiry, no card kept on file for later.
What features does the license include?
All of them. Every format (snake, standard, auction, hybrid), custom CSV datasets with unlimited rating columns, photos on the board, anonymous auction bidding, live chat, spectating, auto-pick, the template library, and priority support. There is no higher tier to buy.
Do I need to know how to code or use a spreadsheet?
No. Start from a ready-made template in one click, or upload a simple CSV. We provide a downloadable template with the columns already set up for you.
How many people can join a draft?
As many as your format needs. Invite friends by username, set the draft order, and everyone joins the live room from any device — no installs required.
What draft formats are supported?
Standard and snake drafts, budget auctions with anti-snipe and max bids, and a hybrid mode that auctions the top of your board before drafting the rest.
What happens if someone loses connection?
The clock is server-authoritative, so the draft stays in sync for everyone. Anyone who drops can reconnect and resume exactly where they left off, and optional auto-pick keeps things moving on the clock.
Can other people watch our draft?
Yes — flip on public spectating and anyone with the link can follow along pick by pick, live.
Can I use LiveDraft-It from ChatGPT or Claude?
Yes. Add LiveDraft-It as a connector (https://livedraftit.com/mcp) in ChatGPT or Claude and sign in. You can set up drafts from a pasted list or a screenshot of your rankings, add friends, set the order, check the board, and make your pick when you’re on the clock.
