Draft night moves fast. DraftMatrix keeps you ahead of it. DraftMatrix is a live fantasy basketball draft board built around tiered rankings. Instead of a flat list, players are grouped into tiers per position — point guards, shooting guards, forwards, centers — so you can see scarcity at a glance, and when a tier is about to run dry the board warns you before it's too late. BUILT FOR IN-PERSON DRAFTS Online draft rooms give you a live board, a pick clock and best available at a glance. Draft around a table and you're usually back to paper. DraftMatrix is designed to take that online drafting experience and bring it to your offline draft: mark each pick as it's called, and the board, the tiers, the clock and your roster keep up. FREE TO DOWNLOAD • The board, tiers, search, filters and draft guide are free • Your first three picks to your own team are free • DraftMatrix Pro, a one-time in-app purchase, unlocks unlimited picks in every draft. No subscription • Bought DraftMatrix before it was free? Pro is already yours, at no charge CATEGORIES OR POINTS • Switch between Categories (roto) and Points scoring — the whole board reloads and re-tiers to match your league • Tiers are computed on your device from published draft ranks blended with average draft position TRACK THE DRAFT • Tap a player when another team drafts them — one tap, crossed out • Star players onto your roster; undo any mistap instantly • Draft clock tracks the round, overall pick, and how many picks until your turn (snake or linear) • Live Activity: the draft clock on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Keepers supported — marked drafted without advancing the pick clock KNOW WHO'S LEFT • Tier counters warn when a tier runs low and flag the last player • Best Available shows the top remaining player at every position • Roster needs: "Still need PG 1 · C 1" against your league's lineup • Filter by position, search every list, or hide drafted players • Bookmark targets before the draft and filter the board to them AI SUGGESTIONS, FULLY PRIVATE Stuck between two players?

MADE FOR DRAFT DAY • Built for iPhone Duo: unfold for your board and your draft side by side; fold it mid-draft and pick up right where you left off • A quick setup guide on first launch: scoring (Categories or Points), number of teams, your draft slot and roster • Siri and Shortcuts: "Suggest a pick in DraftMatrix", "Show my team" • Multiple drafts with independent boards — run two leagues side by side • Draft state syncs between your devices through your personal iCloud • Import your own rankings from a CSV, or export the board • Works offline: cached rankings and a built-in snapshot keep the board alive • Keeps the screen awake, dark mode, full keyboard shortcuts on iPad Rankings and average draft position are compiled from publicly published fantasy basketball draft data; tiers are computed on your device.
