ANZPL Season 5 Draft Announcement

Although it's been a quiet time in terms of announcements, there's been a lot of construction going on in the backend of WeeGee ANZ as we're preparing for the beginning of the fifth season of ANZPL! Of course, before we can have a season, we need to know who will be entering the teams by the draft system.

Save Thursday, the 11th of August from 7:00PM AEST/UTC+10 as the date and time to tune in on the  Official World of Tanks ANZ Twitch Stream to see which players are going to be picked up by your favourite team!

The Format

As a continuation from last season, we will be keeping the same double round robin that we had from the previous season - with all six teams facing each other twice during the regular season, before we continue to a modified double elimination bracket for playoffs. This will all culminate in the Grand Finals being held on November the 26th, 2022, at Fortress Melbourne, where we'll see the top two teams face off in a Best of Nine match-up.

Additionally, with the disbandment of the Brisbane Bulldogs, we will welcome the winners of ANZBL Season 3, the Cairns Comets into the ANZPL!

The draft will be split into two rounds, the first being the State Round. Teams are required to pick Draftees from their home State in order to fulfill the required home state member minimums in the team lineup. The State Round picks will run as follows:

Pick

State and Team

1

Adelaide Action X

2

Perth Panthers

 

We then move into the Open Draft. Teams will then pick a player remaining in the draft, until all positions are filled.
