MLP Challenger Level Free Agency Draft: Live results
Draft day is here for the six Challenger Level teams, who will participate via a dynamic bidding process.
Like in Sunday's Premier Level draft, teams will bid on selection spots, instead of specific players. Once teams have earned a selection spot by bidding the highest number of draft points, they are free to pick anyone in the available player pool.
The minimum bid for each pick will be 1K draft points, and the draft will run until each squad has filled out its four-player roster.
