Preparations for the next season of the ANZBL is well underway! Last night live on their Twitch channel, World Of Tanks hosted the ANZBL Season 4 Draft.
The league said goodbye to the Wollongong Wolverines and the recently promoted Cairns Comets. To fill out the ANZBL the Lismore Leopards were welcomed back and a new WA based team, the Fremantle Fireflies. 42 players nominated for the ANZBL Season 4 Draft, a new record for the league.
The Leopards and the Fireflies core roster of state players came from a recent tournament held by World Of Tanks. Teams of three competed to find out which of them would form the basis for two new teams. The other four roster position would then be filled in the ANZBL Season 4 Draft.
The ANZBL Season 4 Draft is split into two parts: state picks and open picks. Each team needs to have at least three members from the state/country they are from (or areas in the case of smaller states). State picks fill out those spots. Teams can pick players from anywhere in ANZ in open picks.
