Format

A blind draw was used to determine the draft order for the first round. A "snake draft" was used, with the order reversing in even-numbered rounds, and the original order in odd-numbered rounds. The draft order for the first round was drawn as follows:[1]

  1. Fraser Valley Bandits
  2. Edmonton Stingers
  3. Guelph Nighthawks
  4. Saskatchewan Rattlers
  5. Hamilton Honey Badgers
  6. Niagara River Lions

The first four rounds were regional rounds, in which teams selected players from their region. The three eastern teams had to choose players from Eastern Canada and the western teams from Western Canada. The next seven rounds were open rounds, with teams able to select players from any region of the world. The final two rounds were U Sports rounds, in which teams selected players playing in U Sports, Canada's university basketball program.[2]
