The event -- designed to help fill the coffers of the Western Canadian Baseball League squad in light of their season being cancelled late last month -- will now take place on Sunday, Apr. 18 after originally being scheduled for this Sunday.
The draft features a buy-in of $300 per team and a maximum of 20 teams, with a couple of spots left as of Thursday afternoon. Any number of people are able to be part of a team -- for example, six individuals putting in $50 each -- but only four will be able to attend the physical draft due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions.
Each team will draft 12 position players, with only offensive stats counting to their overall total.
Points will accumulate throughout the season, with the top three totals at the end of the season winning cash prizes.
An MLB calcutta will also be held, featuring teams sold in groups of three and 10 groups to auction off. If a team in a group reaches the playoffs, payouts will increase, with 20 per cent eventually going to the group with the World Series champion.
A total of 15 per cent of the calcutta will go to the Miller Express.
