DRAFT POLICY SUMMARY
By declaring for the draft, players will be asked to acknowledge policies that include, but are not limited to:
- Player may potentially lose his college eligibility if an MLR contract is negotiated and / or signed;
- Player must be willing to relocate to any MLR team if he is drafted;
- Player must be willing to allow MLR to use his images and attributes during the 2025 MLR Draft.
- MLR teams retain the assignment rights of draftees through the mid-point of the next MLR season.
All MLR contracts fall under two categories:
- Standard Player Contract – Salaried, fixed term
- Associate Player Contract – Hourly wage
Once a player is drafted, the specifics of each contract, including type, compensation amounts, and term, will be negotiated between the League, team, and the player, once the player completes his collegiate eligibility.
A player that isn’t signed within the rights period, may enter the subsequent year’s Draft as long as they are eligible. If they lose their Collegiate eligibility, they may enter the MLR if a team desires their services. (Provided they are not College Draft Eligible)
Players who enroll but aren’t drafted may enter the MLR if a team desires their services and they are no longer eligible for the next Draft. If they are eligible for the next Draft, they shall enroll again to join MLR.
With notable exception, graduating seniors who were previously drafted as eligible juniors may sign at any time until that season’s MLR Championship Match (June 28th, 2025); if unsigned they shall re-enter the MLR College Draft.
