7)&n= bsp; Draft lists will be prepared for each = age within the league and will include players' name, birth date, rating(s), and years of experience.

8)&n= bsp; Prior to starting the Draft, the Commissioner, League VP and Managers/Coaches will review the assigned ratin= gs and rating changes may be made if all parties agree to the change. Ratings will also be sought for un= -rated players.

9)&n= bsp; The number of teams to be drafted will= be determined based on the number of registered players. The respective Sports Board shall determine the number League teams and the number of players per team. Expanded rosters will be allowed at the discretion of the respective Sports League VP with concurren= ce of the Sports Board Commissioner and Player Agent.

10)&= nbsp; Columns will be drawn on the board for each team.

11)&= nbsp; The oldest age group in each league will be drafted first.

12)&= nbsp; Team #1 will receive the top rated player in the league as determined by the ratings. In case of a tie, all players with the same top rating will be ranked via a consensus of Managers/Coaches and drafted in that order. Players will continue to be placed= on the board in order of ability until the end of the age group. After the top row is drafted, rati= ng ties will be broken by consensus of Managers/Coaches or if consensus cannot= be reached by years of experience.

13)&= nbsp; Direction of the Draft will change after each round, e.g., round #1 will be left to right, round #2 will be right to left, etc.

14)&= nbsp; Players having no rating will be listed after players with a rating. Players having no rating will be l= isted in order of their years of experience, then their age.

15)&= nbsp; Players having zero years of experience will be listed last and will be listed in order of their age.

16)&= nbsp; If an unequal number of playe= rs exists, the Player Agent will determine the appropriate round to leave rost= er positions blank. This should be done to minimize the disruption to competit= ive balance when additional players are added to the rosters.=

17)&= nbsp; In the older age groups, the = early rounds of the draft will be used to distribute specialized players (pitcher= s, catchers, goalies, forwards, and guards) equally among all teams.

18)&= nbsp; In Co-Ed age groups, roster adjustments may be made to balance the number of g= irls and boys on each team.

19)&= nbsp; After all players have been drafted, teams will be adjusted to place brothers/sisters on the same team. Generally, the lower ra= ted player will be moved to the sibling's team in exchange for the player on the same draft line.

20) Managers/Coaches will then be required to pick a number out of a hat and that will be their team. If the Manager's/Coach's son/daugh= ter is not on that team, the son/daughter will be moved to the team in exchange for the player on the same draft line.

21) Each Manager shall be allowed to exchange one player for a specific of equal or lesser rated player on another team.

22)&= nbsp; Special Parent Requests agreed to by the respective Sports Board will then be Accomplished.<= /o:p>

23) After all special requests have been addressed, the Managers/Coaches and league VP will be given the opportunity to review the draft for any obvious inequitie= s. If inequities are noted, changes can be made only by Majority<= /span> of Managers/Coaches, League VP, Sports Commissioner and Player Agent.

24)&= nbsp; Players who sign up late will be placed on teams if roster vacancies exist. Once the quantity of Late Registrants equals the available open positions, Late Registrants will be placed via random draw of all eligible teams during a meeting attended by the Sports Board Commissioner, the League Vice Presiden= t, and Player Agent. Special req= uests of Late Registrants will not be honored.

25)&= nbsp; Team rosters will be considered final as of Opening Day. Exceptions to this rule= may only be granted in Cases of Extreme Hardship (e.g., team loses four players= to injury and is unable to field a minimum number of players without a forfeit) and must be voted upon by the respective Sports Board.
