PROCEDUERES FOR THE DRAFTS IN NWA CLASSICS  
 
1)Within a month of the end of the most recent draft the head of the Advisory Board will set a date for the next draft.
 
2) Drafts will be held every three months unless demmed otherwise by a majority of the Advisory Board of NWA Classics.  
 
3)Drafts are scheduled for January, April, July and October.  The Draft in January will be the 'Rookie Draft' in which wrestlers that debuted in the calander year that NWA Classics is going into will be drafted by the organizations particpating.  The head of the Advisory Board will appoint a member of the advisory board and other members of NWA Classics to get a rookie list together that will be approved by the Advisory Board of NWA Classics.
 
4) All drafts will be two rounds long except for the rookie draft which will be three rounds long.
 
5) The head of the Advisory Board will select someone from the Advisory Board who will be the draft commisoner, here to referred to as the commish.  The commish will run the draft under the supervision of the head of the Advisory Board, whom the commish will consult with if any questions are brought up.  
 
 6) The ruling of the head of the advisory board is final on any questions about the draft.  
 
7) Around 4 weeks before the next draft, the commish goes to Random.org and puts a list of the active organizations into the list randomizer.   An active organization will be defined as someone who is the recongized booker in NWA Classics and someone who has posted at least one card per month since the last draft. Also any organization participating in the draft will have posted a card within a three week window of the draft date.
 
8) The commish will then take the number of organizantions that are active and divide it by 1000 to see how many numbers in the draft lottery that each organization will recieve.  The comish will then assign numbers to the organizations as they were listed on random.org. Any remaining numbers will be randomily assigned by a random operations as they are listed in the first list of random organization of lists.  
 
9) The Commish will choose a pick 3 lottery of the state of his choosing when assaining draft numbers.
 
10) If the number picked the assigned day is between 000-499 the draft list goes from top to bottom, if the number is 500-999 from the number picked to the top of the list and back to the bottom.  
 
11) No organization will have more than 5 picks in a two round draft, no more than 6 in a three round draft.
 
12) The Commish will post this on the board and then send a e-mail out to all bookers that it is time to send a list of wrestlers that will be available to be drafted.  
 
13)  The Bookers of the active promotions will protect 16 wrestlers/managers that are on their active roster which would leave a maximum of 16 to 19 wrestlers and 0-3 mangagers unprotected per organizations.  
 
14) Each wrestler that is protected will count as a spot.  If a booker wants to protect a tag team then they must protect both wrestlers using two spots.  
 
15) Each organization can only lose three  wrestlers per draft on every draft but the rookie draft in which they can lose four.  
 
16) A tag team can be selected as one pick in the draft if they are in the same organization.  This will count as two wrestlers lost in the draft for the organization selected from.    
 
17) Any organization that competes in a war card will receive a compensatory pick at the end of the second round of the draft.
 
18) That organization can not trade the compenstory pick that  they recieved in the war card.  
 
19) In the previous round the organization that had the higher pick between the two organizatons that particapted in the war card will receive the lower pick.  
 
20) The two organizations that held the  war cards first will recieve the first picks then the next organizations will receive the next picks.  
 
21) There are no limits on the amount of war cards per draft period per organization but the organization particpating will only receive one pick
