Three further teams will be selecting their players from their own geographic region, and therefore have no requirement for a formal draft process. The Morrisville Cardinals, DC Hawks and New England Eagles have now completed their selections and their rosters will be announced this week.
The remaining 6 teams from Illinois, Michigan and Florida will then undertake their draft in the coming weeks when their regional player pools are completed and ready for drafting.
