2018 CPL–U Sports Draft


The 2018 CPL–U Sports Draft was the inaugural CPL–U Sports Draft, held on November 12, 2018, in Vancouver, British Columbia. Seven Canadian Premier League teams selected 21 U Sports athletes in total. The results were announced on November 13.

Format

A blind draw was used to determine the draft order for the first round. A "snake draft" was used, with the order reversing in the second round, and then reversing back in the third and final round. Clubs had a window of time in which they must submit their pick, and failure to do so resulted in a pass. There was a break between each round, as well as one timeout per club. However, timeouts could not be used in back-to-back picks.
