When do you hold your league's entry draft?

My league runs April (ST) through to early September (end of playoffs).

Draft pool is announced November 1st, Draft is in late November.

I also do the International pool in January, if anyone cares

I do mine always on March 1st, I like getting the players then. The first season is the only one is off a little. Couldnt vote as you didnt inclued this option, lol.

Yeh, probably should've had before the season, during the season & after the season as the vote options, but it was late when I made it

I prefer to hold mine in the off season so I can fully grasp my organization needs and move prospects from one level to next (or not). Doing it mid-season made me decide to promote players sooner than I wanted to just to create space at the A level. I suppose I could have a June 1 Rookie league but for me that was just one more level I didn't want to worry about.

For those who do your entry draft before the regular season, when do you start have them playing games for the rookie ball and short-season leagues? Do you still wait until June to have them start?

I have feeder leagues but I like them all to start in April so I move the draft date to July for my MLB, My Canadian League Is in pre season but they trade draft picks so I find off-season better for that. Preference is during season

View Poll Results: What time of the season?
During the season (like MLB does)	16	61.54%
Within the first 2 months of the off-season (like the other big 3 sports)	7	26.92%
Later in the off-season (closer to the start of the next season)	3	11.54%
Voters: 26. You may not vote on this poll
