[[File:Place_your_bids.jpg\|border\|right\|250px\|]]After the AA Draft, LDB will draft [[Organizational Structure#Majors\|Majors players]]. The draft will be in an auction format. The Majors draft will take place at a time determined by the Commissioner(s). Each season, the Commissioner(s) will appoint a committee to select the location and plan the following season's live auction.

	At the draft, teams will nominate players in an order determined by the Commissioner(s). A nominating team will name a player and an opening bid for that player. The bid must be at least the minimum league salary. Other owners may choose to raise the bid on that player. The team that turns in the highest bid will be awarded the player.

	The Rule V draft will take place over the All-Star Break each season. During that week, and before the draft begins, teams will be afforded an opportunity to announce one protected player that cannot be drafted and to promote AA players subject to the Rule V draft before the draft. A player may not be designated as a "protected player" in consecutive years. The draft will last until each team passes. Once a team passes, the team may still participate further in the draft. There are no restrictions on the number of players one team may take or have taken from them. The draft order will be non-serpentine, with the order being in reverse order of the then-current standings at the close of the LDB week preceding the All-Star Game. The Commissioner(s) will conduct the Rule V Draft by means they determine.		The Rule V draft will take place over the All-Star Break each season.

If there is only one player eligible for the Rule V draft, the Commissioner(s) may simply subject the player to waivers instead of holding a formal draft; Rule V players drafted through waivers otherwise carry all the same rights and responsibilities of any other Rule V draftee.

	Teams drafting players by Rule V will be required to keep them on their LDB Majors roster for the following one and one half seasons. Teams may place Rule V draftees on the IL. However, spending a half season on the IL (10 weeks, aggregated over all IL stints) does not count toward the one and one half seasons. Owners will not be required to include Rule V draftees on their playoff roster.

Picks beyond those presently owned cannot be traded in any capacity or included as 'player to be named later' in a trade. These draft picks are tradable.

	The AA Draft will be held prior to a new season as the Commissioner(s) see fit, subject to the requirements herein. For teams that do not make playoffs, the AA draft order will be in ascending order by wins from the previous season. Wins are used rather than the winning percentage to remove any advantage from intentionally forfeiting games by missing the innings requirement. The order for teams missing playoffs is then followed by teams making playoff appearances in ascending order of finishing places. The draft position of a traded draft pick corresponds to the original owner, not the owner at the time of the AA Draft.
