Draft The system by which team rosters are determined.
Players enter by signing a professional league letter of intent.
Returning franchises have the right to protect players from the previous year's roster. Each player that a team protects reduces the number of available draft selections for that team. In the case of a tied record, order is determined using the WTT tiebreaking system. That order continues throughout the draft. Franchises Seven teams will compete from July 6 to July 25 during the 1999 season.
