2. Second question (and I kind of suspect the answer may be no, but I will ask anyway): During this season (Year 5 not Year 6), would it be permissible for a team to draft a PRIME boxer from the free agent pool through the waiver process, then make room for that boxer on the roster by dropping a Pre-Prime or Beginner boxer to the Minor League Roster in lieu of making a selection for that weight class in the Minor League Draft?
1. The Minor League draft will be paused while waivers are open

2. In regards to this question, you have probably found a loophole and I am glad you did before this might have came up. I would suggest that if a players is picked up on Waivers another player on the active roster has to be dropped. The reason I call it a loophole is because we have stated that no Prime boxers can be drafted so this would be a work around to that which is something that would hurt this initial draft.
