Number of Rounds
Starting in the 2005 draft, the league has limited the draft into two rounds, with all undrafted players will become free agents; prior to 2005, drafting goes on until all the teams have passed. However, on the 2011 PBA Draft, the league allowed the draft to continue until all teams have passed. The two-round restriction of the draft was attributed to an agreement between the PBA and the Philippine Basketball League (PBL), which also included a development fee to the PBL team from which the player was drafted. This was removed in 2011 as the PBL had not held a tournament since 2010, and amateur players played in the PBA D-League instead.
