PLAYER DRAFT

WHEN WILL THE DRAFT ORDER BE ANNOUNCED AND HOW WILL IT WORK?

The draft order for each Player Draft (men and women) will be announced on Wednesday August 18 and will be conducted live on the NZNBL Facebook page.

The first two rounds of each draft will be via a Snake Draft - meaning the team with selection 1 (first pick of the 1st round) will also get selection 20 (last pick of the 2nd round), and the team with selection 10 (last pick of the 1st round) will get selection 11 (first pick of the 2nd round).

For each Player Draft, the 3rd round will be drawn live on the night, meaning each team won't know the order of the 3rd round until the completion of the 2nd round.

DRAFT NIGHT - WEDNESDAY AUGUST 25

The two Player Drafts will be held on the same night and will last for approximately 45-60 minutes.

The women's draft will be held first, followed by the men's draft. Both drafts will be live and available to watch.

Each team will have 60-seconds to make their selection once they are told they are "on the clock".

If a team fails to make a selection in the allotted time they will drop back one place and take their next selection (the one they missed) after the next team. This same process will continue if they keep 'timing out' on their selection.

TRADE WEEKEND - AUGUST 28/29

Once the drafts are completed there will be a Trade Weekend where teams can trade players (one for one) with another teams. Trades can involve multiple teams, but you can only trade out the same number of players as you are trading in. For example, one for one, two for two etc. You cannot trade one player out and receive two players in return.
