National Pro Fastpitch held two drafts before the 2016 season:
First, the 2016 NPF Expansion Draft was held for the expansion Scrap Yard Dawgs to acquire players for their inaugural roster from existing NPF teams.
With the arrival of the expansion Dallas Charge, NPF created a process for expansion teams to acquire talent: choosing either one player via a 'Market Choice Selection' (a college player either who is from the expansion team's state or who played for a college in the expansion team's state) or five players from an Expansion Draft. The Dawgs opted for the expansion draft.[1]
Secondly, the 2016 NPF College Draft was the 13th annual collegiate draft for NPF.
