Dallas was given bonus selections in the fourth and sixth rounds for a total of 10 selections. The additional round and selections will total 34 overall picks in the 2015 Draft. However, Dallas chose to exercise a previous option offered to them, and made a “Market Choice Selection.” Exercising their Market Choice Selection allowed Dallas Charge to choose a player either originally from the state of Texas or who played college softball for a Texas school. Exercising the Market Choice Selection reduced the overall number of Draft picks for Dallas to nine instead of the original ten. The 34th was replaced by the Market Choice Selection by Dallas.2015 National Pro Fastpitch College Draft presented by BOWNET http://www.profastpitch.com/news/?article_id=2300 https://web.archive.org/web/20150315112902/http://www.profastpitch.com/news/?article_id=2300 usurped March 15, 2015 profastpitch.com 28 April 2015 17 February 2015 A trade of draft picks with the USSSA Pride brought Dallas' total back to ten draft selections.
