Little League Operating Manual Draft
The league player agent determines the draft dates, times and location. The league player agent is responsible for supplying the managers with a list of all available players. The list should include the name and age of each player as well as address, phone, and parent’s names.
The player agent is allowed to limit the amount of time each manager is provided for the selection of a player. Little League rules also make managers children available to other managers after a predetermined draft round. Therefore, managers must draft their own children by the end of the 3rd round to ensure that their kids play for their own team.
When parents wish for multiple children to play for the same team, they must make this request to the league at least 48 hours prior to the draft. When a manager drafts a sibling, he retains the right to draft the other sibling on his next turn.
If he fails to do so, the sibling becomes available to other managers within 2 rounds of taking the first sibling Pre-Draft Player Evaluations Prior to drafting, players are encouraged to attend one of multiple evaluation sessions. During these sessions, players are numbered and organized. The numbers and names are provided to managers in attendance. Managers use the rosters to record evaluation of players (please see EGLL Player Evaluation Process). The evaluations can be used by managers during the drafting process.
