Entry draft in July

Polikina · 12-19-2020, 09:39 PM

Hello,

I've just finished my first season and by the middle June I noticed that the draft wasn't scheduled until mid-July. The 2022 draft also seems like it'll be in July since it doesn't appear in the events list.

We switched it to July so expansion teams can take part in the entry draft.

Whould be better to have option to create expansion and the team go created after the upcoming season so the team can provide protect list and plan for the expansion.

Is every draft in July then? If so, that seems like a strange choice considering how few times (if at all) someone will schedule an expansion.
