What's New in Season 13?

Following two seasons of stability, Season 13 marked the return of the TFL Rookie Draft, introducing another class of young talent into the league. The league's established offseason structure remained unchanged, while one franchise unveiled an updated visual identity.

Fourth TFL Rookie Draft

The TFL Rookie Draft returned for the fourth time in league history.

Like the previous draft in Season 10, the draft consisted of 5 rounds and 180 total selections, with 36 picks in each round. Draft order was once again determined by each franchise's combined regular season record from Seasons 10–12, with the team holding the worst combined record receiving the first overall pick and the best team selecting last in each round.

Franchises were permitted to trade players and draft picks before the draft, while undrafted rookies became eligible to sign during the second wave of free agency following the conclusion of the draft.

The Season 13 draft continued the league's established three-season Rookie Draft cycle, providing another opportunity for franchises to strengthen their rosters with the next generation of players.

Franchise Identity Updates

The San Diego Archers unveiled a new primary logo, continuing the league's ongoing effort to refine franchise branding while preserving each team's established history and identity.
