Long-running historical "alternate universe" league imported from several older versions of OOTP. I have my first rookie draft with OOTP15, and some strange stuff happens.

First three rounds go as expected. Then in the 4th, teams start opting not to make a selection. Then in Round 5, everyone starts picking again.

Has anyone ever seen this? I'll paste Round 4 and Round 5 below (I inserted spaces where the missing picks are, but in the draft log they're just skipped over).

Round 4
Round 4, Pick 1 - New York Mets: MR Arnold Umbach
Round 4, Pick 2 - Washington Senators: MR John Gelnar
Round 4, Pick 3 - Washington Senators: MR Clay Carroll
Round 4, Pick 4 - Los Angeles Angels: MR Jack Aker
Round 4, Pick 5 - Chicago White Sox: 3B Johnny Werhas
Round 4, Pick 6 - San Francisco Giants: MR Bill Kelso
Round 4, Pick 7 - Chicago Cubs: MR Dave Dowling
Round 4, Pick 8 - Cleveland Indians: MR Pete Mikkelsen
Round 4, Pick 9 - New York Yankees: MR Don Loun
Round 4, Pick 10 - Milwaukee Braves: RF Archie Moore
Round 4, Pick 11 - Detroit Tigers: C Joe McCabe

Round 4, Pick 14 - Kansas City Athletics: 2B Bill Bethea

Round 4, Pick 16 - St. Louis Cardinals: MR Dan Schneider

Round 4, Pick 18 - Pittsburgh Pirates: MR Frank Bork
Round 4, Pick 19 - Baltimore Orioles: SP Dennis Ribant
Round 4, Pick 20 - Philadelphia Phillies: LF Elvio Jimenez

Round 5
Round 5, Pick 1 - New York Mets: MR Tom Kelley
Round 5, Pick 2 - Houston Colt .45's: MR Dave Eilers
Round 5, Pick 3 - Washington Senators: MR Gary Kroll
Round 5, Pick 4 - Los Angeles Angels: MR Ed Connolly Jr
Round 5, Pick 5 - Chicago White Sox: MR Dick Estelle
Round 5, Pick 6 - San Francisco Giants: C Mike J Ryan
Round 5, Pick 7 - Chicago Cubs: RF Willie Crawford
Round 5, Pick 8 - Cleveland Indians: 1B Costen Shockley
Round 5, Pick 9 - New York Yankees: MR Tom Parsons
Round 5, Pick 10 - Milwaukee Braves: MR Lee Gregory
Round 5, Pick 11 - Detroit Tigers: MR Bob Meyer
Round 5, Pick 12 - Boston Red Sox: MR Bill Wakefield
Round 5, Pick 13 - Cincinnati Reds: MR Darrell Sutherland
Round 5, Pick 14 - Kansas City Athletics: C Jerry May
Round 5, Pick 15 - Los Angeles Dodgers: MR Pete Craig
Round 5, Pick 16 - St. Louis Cardinals: MR Ron Locke
Round 5, Pick 17 - Minnesota Twins: MR Johnnie Seale
Round 5, Pick 18 - Pittsburgh Pirates: 3B Bill Southworth
Round 5, Pick 19 - Baltimore Orioles: MR Ed Sukla
Round 5, Pick 20 - Philadelphia Phillies: MR Sterling Slaughter

So why did Boston, Cincinnati, the Dodgers, and Twins all choose not to make selections in the 4th round? I didn't even know that was possible. I checked each team's rosters and they have plenty of budget room and they aren't approaching roster limits or anything.

Has anyone else seen this happen?

Thanks.
