CNPL Draft Registration
To be qualify for the C4 draft you must:

• Have played last year in the CNPL; OR
• Have played last year in another top-tier international league (MLP or NPL); OR
• Have competed in a Canadian qualifier event in 2025 (CNPL Showdown, MiLP Canada, etc); OR
• Have received an elite player exemption from the league

To be eligible for the draft

1. Ensure you meet the eligibility criteria outlined by the Canadian National Pickleball League in the terms and conditions.
2. Complete registration for the C4 Draft
3. Pay the proper administrative fee.

Two registration types

• New players are those who have never before registered for or participated in the CNPL.
• Returning players are those who registered for the draft in 2023, 2024, or 2025.
  (They receive a discount because they are already setup across many of our systems and require less administrative work.)
