Next Thursday, the 12th of August from 6:00PM AEST/UTC+10, right after the Official World of Tanks ANZ Twitch Stream, one of the most exciting parts of the ANZ Premier League will be unfolding right before your eyes and will determine the team lineups for the upcoming season of the ANZPL. Hosted of course by JayRated and Vondle!
The Format
The Draft will be split into two halves. The first being the State Round, where each team will pick Draftees from their home State to fill the required three home state member minimums in the team lineup. The State round picks will run as follows:
|
Pick |
Australia (Team) |
New Zealand (Team) |
|
1 |
Perth Panthers |
Christchurch Conquerors |
|
2 |
Adelaide Action X |
Christchurch Conquerors |
|
3 |
North Sydney Sentinels |
Once the State round has finished, we move into the fully fledged Draft. This will be done in two rounds. This is where the real action unfolds, as unlike the previous State Round, teams can pick across states and countries, leading to some very interesting choices as teams vye for the most sought after Draftees. The Draft order will be as followed:
|
Round One |
|
|

|
1 |
Perth Panthers |
|
2 |
Auckland Archers |
|
3 |

|
6 |

Team |
|

NOTE: There will be no picks for the Brisbane Bulldogs or South Sydney Skorpions as none of their team members have left or declared for redraft.
The Draftees
Of course the night wouldn’t be complete without those who are yet to be chosen! It is our absolute honour to announce to you those who will be hoping for a spot in an ANZPL Team for Season 3!

UPDATE 09/08/21 - Skell has removed himself from the Draft pool.
It is encouraged that the Draftees make themselves known in the #ANZPL Discord Channel so that potential teams can contact them to discuss availability, playstyle, etc.
NOTE: Being in the ANZ Premier League Draft does not guarantee a position in a team and therefore the ANZ Premier League. Best of luck to all Draftees.
So there you have it! The Pick order, the Draftees, and the time it’s all happening! After the night we’ll be able to reveal the full team rosters for the Third Season, so keep an eye on the Portal for all the details, and don’t forget to watch it all unfold live next Thursday, from 6:00PM AEST/UTC+10 on the Official World of Tanks ANZ Twitch Channel with your hosts Vondle and JayRated!
