Q&A: F-liiga Draft – How does it work?
-
The Draft is only for foreign players and all the teams have agreed on picking at least one player who is not a citizen of Sweden, Switzerland, or the Czech Republic. If the player has also a citizenship other than one of these three countries (dual citizenship, other than Finnish), the player is considered as a citizen of this country.
The draft doesn’t concern Finnish players or players who have played at F-liiga, Inssi-Divari (the second highest league in Finland) or at the highest junior league level (T22/P22) minimum of 10 matches during the latest season.
The players picked must be at least 18 years old by the time of the Draft (24.5.2024). On the other end, the players can turn 22 years during the year of the draft. The players picked must have valid a license to compete in floorball at present.
The players drafted in 2024 are born in 2002 or later.
-
If the club has made a contract with a player eligible at the Draft before the April 30th, the club has an exclusive right to pick this player at the next Draft. The clubs are obligated to inform F-liiga about the player contracts finalized before 30.4.2024 for the players that are possible picks.
-
The pick is valid for each picked player for four years. However, the pick is no longer valid when the player turns 24 years. After the pick, the club must contact the player by end of June.
-
Yes. In the Draft contract the clubs have agreed on the terms for the talented player to transfer to a club other than the one originally picked the player. Instead of financial compensation, the club that has made the contarct with the player, can
-
If the club no longer qualifies to play at F-liiga and instead plays at Inssi-Divari (the second highest league in Finland), the picks are still valid. In this case, if the player signs a contract with a club other than the one originally picked the player, no compensation is required. The picked player can be signed without any compensation requirements as long as the club plays at Inssi-Divari. But if the team makes it back to F-liiga, the compensation requirements according to the Draft contract are again valid.
-
If picked player is signed and plays at least 10 matches at F-liiga, F-liiga will reward the club with a bonus agreed in the contract.
-
F-liiga clubs are able to negotiate about their pick order turns with other clubs. However, at every Draft event, every club has to have at least one pick order turn to themselves.
-
Indeed there will, and the time for that is now!
