The Draft
With the addition of the Dallas Charge, a league expansion team in 2015, the Draft has added a 6th round and four additional bonus selections for Dallas. Dallas was given bonus selections in the fourth and sixth rounds for a total of 10 selections. The additional round and selections will total 34 overall picks in the 2015 Draft. However, Dallas chose to exercise a previous option offered to them, and made a “Market Choice Selection.” Exercising their Market Choice Selection allowed Dallas Charge to choose a player either originally from the state of Texas or who played college softball for a Texas school. Exercising the Market Choice Selection reduced the overall number of Draft picks for Dallas to nine instead of the original ten. The 34th was replaced by the Market Choice Selection by Dallas. A trade of draft picks with the USSSA Pride brought Dallas' total back to ten draft selections.
Drafting an athlete gives an NPF affiliate team the rights to that athlete for two full seasons.
