The Cleveland Rockers of the WNBA folded after the 2003 season, after the company that owned the team announced that they would no longer operate the team and the league could not find a suitable owner to run the Cleveland franchise. Sixteen players were available in the draft - each remaining WNBA team was allowed a draft pick, in reverse order of their regular-season record for the season. Thirteen players were ultimately drafted by other teams.
The Major Indoor Soccer League shut down two teams in December of 2004 - the San Diego Sockers and Monterrey Fury - over various issues with the operation of those teams. Players in those teams were then distributed to remaining teams in a dispersal draft. The order of player selection was based on the winning percentage of the remaining teams from the 2003-04 season and the 2004-2005 season up to that point.
On April 9 , 2006 , the Ottawa Renegades had their team operations suspended by the Canadian Football League . On April 12 , 2006 , the former players still under contract (and those that the Renegades had the rights to) were distributed amongst the remaining 8 teams. The worst team from the previous year selected first and went until all players were selected or all teams passed on the remaining players. QuarterbackKerry Joseph was selected #1 overall by the Saskatchewan Roughriders after they traded with the Hamilton Tigercats for the rights to the #1 pick.
