# Draft Creation

When creating the League, the Commissioner must set the following parameters:

* **League Name**
* **Player Selection Method**: with or without credits
* **Budget**: the number of credits available to each user to purchase free agents or propose trades with other teams (it can also be set to 0). If the credit-based selection method is chosen, a budget must be set for the auction.
* **Competition Type**: head-to-head or overall ranking
* **Captain Multiplier**: this value can be customized to x1 / x1.5 / x2
* **Extra Slots**: choose whether to add up to two extra player slots and assign them to the desired position(s)

Once all participants have joined and the League has been started, the following **additional parameters** can be set:

* **Starting Matchday**: the Commissioner can choose whether to start the League from the matchday immediately following the creation of the Draft, or from a specific future matchday.
* **Market Opening**: the Commissioner can choose whether to have the market open automatically between matchdays (as in Classic Mode), or retain direct control and decide when to open and close it, always within the windows specified in the Dunkest Calendar and never while a matchday is in progress.
