General Notes
The Amateur Draft occurs during the off-season, after the File Flip. The Amateur Draft will be consist of real-life players when they had been drafted, as opposed to when they made their MLB debut, and is generated by a database.
Correcting Scouting Reports
In some cases, the database that creates the real-life players does not accurately rate the players' potential talent. As such, the players' scouting reports will be adjusted to better reflect what is deemed appropriate for what their careers endured in Major League Baseball. Teams will have an opportunity to make their suggestions during the Winter Meetings. In the end, only the Commissioner has the right of what changes may be made and his decision is always final.
Similarly, all "0" ratings will be edited out due to a known bug in the game regarding player development. Relief pitchers with a "D" duration starter rating or greater will have their position change from Relief Pitcher to Starting Pitcher for the purpose of the Amateur Draft.
Draft Order & Schedule
The draft order is based on the prior season's record, from worst to first. Tie-breakers are decided by OOTP5 and appears to be based on the team's ID number.
The first three (3) rounds will be done in the Amateur Draft board and teams will have time limits. The remainder of the draft will be run by the computer. Prior to each round, teams will be assigned staggered time slots.
If it is desired to send in a list of preferred players or instructions, PM the "Draft" user. The Commissioner and designated Draft Moderator(s) are responsible for keeping the Amateur Draft board and rookies.html page reasonably up to date.
