Is ammy draft the amateur draft ?
My preference is to have the draft on March 1st instead of during the season. FAs can not sign with teams outside of the league - this restricts FA players and draftees to stay within their own level. Each level has their own draft pool.
There is a place in the league setup to adjust newly created player's attribute levels. I setup the league adjustments so the higher levels will have better players in the draft pool. Level 10 has really bad players in the draft pool, which is comparable to Level 10.
I have a reverse draft order from pro sports. The higher you finish in the standings, the higher your draft picks. In a level with 10 teams (Levels 2-10), the newly promoted team into the level drafts 10th, the team relegated into the level drafts 9th (the brand new team in Level 10 has the 10th pick). Picks 1-8 are based on how the teams finished in the standings.
For Level 1, the team that wins the "World Series" will draft 1st (even if team was the WC), the loser drafts 2nd, followed by the other 2 playoff teams, then followed by how the teams finished in the standings - ties are broken by teams finishes in prior years, not by WL record. My goal is to create dynasties vs parity, and to make it harder for promoted teams to thrive in the new league. After about 10-15 years or so, dynasties are created. My opinion of the draft order, you shouldn't be punished for doing better than other teams in your league/level, and vise-versa. I don't care for parity in my baseball universe. Higher draft picks are the team's reward for a good season. (Note: I have financials turned off, otherwise I might reward cash to the WS winner).
I don't remember if I have 5 or 10 rounds. I usually autopick after the 2nd or 3rd round. FAs do not move between levels and teams can not trade with a team in another level.
