An epidural is a procedure whereby drugs are injected through a catheter which is inserted into the epidural space. The epidural space is the space between the bony spinal canal and the dura (which surrounds the spinal cord and spinal fluid).
1 All drafted players must be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft. 2  To determine whether a player is eligible for a given year's draft, subtract 19 from the year of the draft. 3  If the player was born during or before that year, he is eligible.
Before the lottery was implemented in the latter part of the Vietnam conflict, there was no system in place to determine order of call besides the fact that men between the ages of 18 and 26 were vulnerable to being drafted. Local boards called men classified 1-A, 18-1/2 through 25 years old, oldest first. This lack of a system resulted in uncertainty for the potential draftees during the entire time they were within the draft-eligible age group. All throughout a young manâs early 20âs he did not know if he would be drafted. A draft held today would use a lottery system under which a man would spend only one year in first priority for the draftâeither the calendar year he turned 20 or the year his deferment ended, whichever came first.
