This season, my Amateur Draft Pool is nearly empty (only nine players). I am not sure if this is a bug or a settings problem. I’ve never encountered it before in my league’s 15 prior seasons so I wanted to ask about it here. I have a fictional 16 team league in OOTP 17 that I’ve been playing in various OOTP versions since 2000. It has AAA/AA/A minor leagues and no feeder leagues. I have never touched the Amateur Draft Settings, instead leaving them at their defaults.

Here were the values in League Settings >> Rules >> Amateur Draft Settings:
Amateur Draft: Enabled
Amateur Draft Date: June 15
Amateur Draft Number of Rounds: 15
Amateur Draft Pool Reveal Date: 30 days prior to draft
Enable Advanced Draftee Signing: Yes

When the Draft Pool was published, there were only nine players available. I pushed the draft date back and changed the draft pool reveal date in hopes OOTP would generate additional players. When the new reveal date arrived, there was another “Draft Pool Revealed” news item. Unfortunately, the pool consisted of the same nine players. In my previous drafts, OOTP always generated just enough players for every team to draft in every round.

The OOTP 17 online manual mentions an option for “Generate Players for X Rounds” in the Amateur Draft Settings section. I thought the value may have been set too low but that setting does not appear on my Rules screen.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there anything I can do to force a complete draft pool to be generated at this point? Thanks in advance for any help.
