Once you've entered the details of your server, click the Create server button in the bottom-right of the window to create your server. Once you've clicked this button, a loading indicator will appear and your server should be created after a few seconds.

If this field is left blank, NautDrafter will use UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) to automatically port forward for you. However if UPnP is disabled on your router, it will fail to connect. |
On time out: What should NautDrafter do if a team runs out of bonus time during drafting? Currently forfeit is not implemented so the only option is a random pick when it is a pick phase and skipping the ban when it is a ban phase.
Ban type: You can set whether you want bans to effect both teams (Bi-directional) or only the opposition (One way).
Drafting order: Here you can determine the order of the drafting process that will be used for drafting games/session played on your server.

- 3 picks for the red team
- 3 picks for the blue team
- An equal number of bans for the red and blue teams
- A maximum number of 3 bans for either team
- Red can not have a ban phase after blue have had all their pick phases and vice versa
Direct connect only: This check-box will decide if your server will be listed on the Server Browser screen or can only be connected to using Direct Connect.
