Format
Players could be selected if they had one to four years of U Sports eligibility remaining, were in good academic standing, were planning to return to school the following year, and completed the CPL's draft declaration form. Players who were selected can sign a full professional contract or a U Sports development contract, which allows them to return to university for the following season, without losing their eligibility.[1]
Players interested in being selected were required to declare for the draft by November 21 at 5:00 pm ET.[2] On November 29, the CPL released the full list of 184 players available for selection in the draft.[3]
Each CPL team made two selections in the draft with selections made in the reverse order of the previous season's standings, including playoffs and final standings.[4]
