There are multiple ways you can end up Cat B eligible

@SplitRound

Category B: Category B rookies can come from one of four places

• Irish. Each team can have at most 1 category B listed player from Ireland (Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland)
• Non-football background. Anybody who hasn’t been registered in a football competition for at least three years. This could be international players, or Australians who don’t play football
• Alternative talent. Anybody who is a registered athlete in an elite sporting competition (e.g. NRL). This is a separate category to non-football backgrounds because it has different salary cap rules
• Undrafted Academy/NGA player. Teams can automatically add academy players that don’t get drafted in the National Draft or Pre-Season Draft as category B rookies.
