Ok the draft order will be chosen randomly. After the season, on the day that we have the flask presentation, each team will randomly draw from a hat. The teams however will not know their pick number until all 16 teams have drawn, then the picks will be announced from 16-1. The first team to draw will be the champ. The other teams will draw in order of playoff finish(runner-up, then 3rd place, 4th, etc...) then the 8 non-playoff teams will draw in order of regular season finish. All teams are encouraged to finish out their seasons as best as possible to move up in the drawing order. Even though the first to draw has the best opportunity (only 6.25%, but #1 pick is guaranteed to be in there) to draw the #1 overall pick, they will also have the highest percentage (93.75%) chance of NOT drawing the #1 pick. I know some of you were fans of doing the draft order in place of finish but that system should be kept to keeper leagues. Horrible teams (see HaTeRs) need to draft first because they need more help. In this league where we are drafting brand new rosters every year, I cant see why we would give teams with a bad year a better opportunity at premier players. If it is a new team every year than all teams should start the season with a level playing field. I feel this is a truly random system that does not give a significant edge to any team. I ran the #'s and it looks as if after each team draws and the #1 spot is not drawn, the next team's chances increases by less than 1.5% to draw #1.

Now is the time if you have ideas for next year to speak up.
I like the draft strategy - solid. Keep posting the pick the winners #'s even for for those of us that are DQ'd - I want to see where I'm at. (Even though I picked against the the suckeyes on principle every week - (just based on the name) - no actual personal insult this time. Still would like to see my rankings.
