For most of its existence , the National Draft has been held at a large function or convention centre with many of the predicted top draft selections in attendance . Since 1993 , the National draft has been televised live , pick-by-pick , while the mid-year ( 1990-1993 ) , pre-season and rookie drafts have never been televised .
