ABL will have an annual 5 round Amateur Entry Draft. This draft will likely be done in the first week of November. No players may be selected who have not signed a MLB contract. Also newly drafted players in the MLB draft are not eligible via free agency until after our entry draft is complete.
Commissioner will post a list of avialable players to be selected and only those players can be selected.
Trading Draft Picks
Trading of draft picks is allowed however as soon as the draft starts there is no more trading of draft picks.
How Draft Will Be Conducted
If a team is not present for the draft / times out, and did not provide a proxy pick, they'll be awarded the next highest ranked player that they can afford, and then placed on auto-draft.
The players ranking list is of the same order of Baseball America followed by the actual draft order.
The Entry Draft will only have players who are eligible for the real life MLB Entry Draft.
Draft Order
Draft order will be based off of record. The worst team by record gets the first pick all the way to the top team getting the last pick. Tiebreakers will be determined by last years record. If two teams have identical records the previous years record will be looked at and the team with the worse record will have higher priority.
