How to use the KTA draft module?

This page gives you the essential elements to master in order to use the KTA draft module, whether for tournaments or practices.

First of all, make sure that you are connected on the draft module.

Launch of a tournament draft

Tournament drafts are generated automatically before each match, you just have to join it from the module's home page.

There are 2 possibilities :

• Either you have the choice of the letter, in this case a display like this one is proposed to you. You just have to select the letter and click on launch, you will then arrive in the draft room.

  

• Either you don't have the choice of the letter. After joining the draft, if your opponents still haven't chosen the letter, then you will be on a waiting screen indicating the behavior to have.

  

Launch of a training draft

To train apart of the official games, you can play training drafts with other KTA players. To create a training draft, follow these steps:

• From the module home page, click the "Create a draft" button.
• Choose parameters:
  • Map on which you want to play
  • Letter you want to have
  • Draft visibility
  • Time limit for each choice. In tournament, this duration is 1 minute
  • The number of drafts to be generated. If you generate several drafts, you can switch from one to the other once the first draft is finished using the arrows at the bottom of the screen. In addition, in this case, you can choose the evolution of the draft's letter
• Click the « Generate » button.
• You get 2 links. The first one is to be sent to the person against whom you want to make the draft. The second one is to be sent to the possible spectators you want to have on the draft.
• The first person to click on the invitation link joins the draft, allowing you to arrive in the draft room. Next clicks on the invitation link bring to the draft room as a spectator.

Draft process

The first step in the draft room is to launch the draft by confirming its start with this button. In the case of a tournament draft, it must be confirmed within 10 minutes after the match time.

Once both teams have clicked, the draft is launched.

Each team has the choice to ban (red arrow) or choose (green arrow) a class in rotation. This is how the entire draft process works:

• A ban a class
• B ban a class
• A pick a class
• B pick a class
• B ban a class
• A ban a class
• B ban a class
• A ban a class
• B pick a class
• A pick a class
• A ban a class
• B ban a class
• A pick a class
• B pick a class

In tournaments, teams have one minute per choice (a timer indicates the remaining time). If no choice has been made in time, the module randomly selects a class.

Once the draft is completed, the composition of each team is determined.

In the case of a tournament draft, a "forfeit" time is indicated at the end of the draft. It corresponds to the time limit to start the match at the end of the draft.
