Captain's CallWith players moving to the new league, there are now some open teams in the VBA.  These teams will only be given to captains that will follow game play rules, follow Scheduling Rules and get a organized rosters submitted by 8/15/2008.  There will be a Lottery for the open teams, all people interested in one of the open teams will get a number, then the numbers will be drawn and the player picks the team the he/she wants. 

Warning:  There is the chance that you could get a worse team, or even no team at all since you have to give up your current team in order to get in the draft.  So if you already have a team, you should just stick with it.

VBA Developmental League News
New Developmental League
& Free Agent Rules
 DL/Free Agency Rules Apply
New players must go to the waiting list for their turn to go to the D-League and play their 10 games before being drafted for a team.

Once you have played 10 D-League games, you can Apply for the Draft and be picked up by a VBA Team.  You can opt to leave the D-League Early (before your 10 games) but if you get released from a team that drafts you, you MUST wait in line for the D-League to complete your 10 games and you may not leave early again.  Be sure that you workout with the team that drafts you because if that team Waives you (and you have completed your 10 DL games) you can't be drafted again for 2 week, you are listed as "On Waivers" (2 Weeks), that team ALSO can not fill that position or use that player for two weeks..  You can be traded, in which case you can play again right away.
