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 (CPL) teams selected 21 U Sports athletes in total. The results were announced on November 13.[1]
A blind draw was used to determine the draft order for the first round.[2] A "snake draft" was used, with the order reversing in the second round, and then reversing back in the third and final round. Clubs have a window of time in which they must submit their pick, and failure to do so results in a pass. There is a break between each round, as well as one timeout per club. However, timeouts can not be used in back-to-back picks.[1]
