The UMEBA Player Rights Draft takes place during the BBA championship series and consists of one round. It uses the same draft order as the upcoming Amateur Draft. Each BBA team will be allowed (but not required) to draft the rights to one active UMEBA player, with the following stipulations:
Player must have at least 4 years of UMEBA Major League service time OR be a former BBA player with any amount of BBA Major League experience
The draft selection will cost the drafting team 10PP
Each player selected in this draft enters the upcoming BBA free agent pool. As such, any BBA team may sign any of these players. However, the team that drafted a player in the UMEBA Player Rights Draft retains the rights to accept said player on his team, along with the exact contract that he signed as a free agent. As such, once a contract has been finalized with a player selected in the UMEBA Player Rights Draft (assuming by some team other than the one who owns his Rule 6 rights via drafting him), the drafting GM will be notified by the League Director and will be given 48 hours to state whether he will exercise his right to the player and have him join his team under the contract terms. If he declines to exercise his rights to the player, or does not give an answer within the 48 hours, the player is retained by the team that signed him.
