S11 VHA Entry Draft will take place on Saturday, July 20 - 10h00 EDT
The draft will be held in our #draft-floor room on Discord.
We will conduct 3 rounds of drafting.
This usually takes 2.5 to 3 hours, with occasional breaks.
****************** Please make an effort to attend *****************
Make sure have a list ready and come prepared.
GMs will have 60 seconds to make their pick.
Over two full weeks after the NHL draft, this gives everyone plenty of time to schedule accordingly.
This is a major league event and expect everyone to attend.
If you can't attend, you must submit a draft list by 21h00 EDT Friday, July 19.
We will reject lists that simply point at the NHL order.
GMs that do not attend and do not send in their list on time will have their draft pick skipped until the end of the round, where a pick will be made randomly.
Please note that the draft picks for each team and the official order is shown in the spreadsheet.
Supplemental picks order will be determined live on draft day for each round.
If you need more info, feel free to ask.

If you want to know if a player is eligible, you can always ask us in private. Here are very useful websites if you want to do some research:
