There are five options here:

Note: If you elect not to have a first-year player draft, and your league does not have free agency enabled, OOTPB will create a number of young players before each offseason and dump them into the free agent pool, so that the league can still have some influx of talent.
Note: Affiliated leagues never have first-year player drafts. Affiliated leagues receive players directly from their parent leagues. Any parent league might or might not have an first-year player draft.

The Amateur draft rules establish league rules concerning first-year player drafts.
There are five options here:
| Option | Description |
| Amateur draft | If this box is checked, an amateur player draft will be held each year in the league. Note: If this option is deselected, the game will create fictional free agents during each offseason, so that teams do not run out of players. |
| Amateur draft Date | The date on which the first-year player draft will be held. |
| Amateur draft Number of Rounds | The number of rounds in the first-year player draft. This value can be between 5 and 50 rounds. |
| Generate Players for X Rounds | This option allows you to define how many rounds' worth of players you want to generate. By default, the game will generate just enough players for all teams to draft in each round. This gives you the ability to create more or fewer players than necessary. This value can be between 0 and 150. |
| Amateur player draft Pool Reveal Date | By default, the annual draft pool is revealed one month prior to the first-year player draft date. However, this option allows you to customize this value. It can be set anywhere between 5 and 75 days before the draft, in increments of 5 days. This option is most commonly used in online leagues, where first-year player drafts typically take place over a longer period of time. |
