Before I vote, can I get the parameters laid out for me again?

I understand that it is lottery style and all teams are eligible.

My questions so far are:

1. How is it going to be weighted? 1 ball for the best team and 12 balls for the worst team?
2. What happens in round two? Does it snake, and thus round two is the exact opposite of round one?


Like I said before, I am in favor of a lottery style. I just want to know exactly what I am voting on.

I am not making it personal...I have said why I will vote against and all you guys got butthurt.

I think this will just make the bad teams stay bad and the good teams be better.

The competitive balance this year has fricking sucked.

I don't think anyone would acuse you of being a sheep. You do a pretty good job of reminding us that you're not a sheep.

My bad big J, I missed your post.

I think I might do a test run on the weighted draft to see how it works.

I posted this the other day, but I acknowledge that I sold out too early. You tried to talk me out of it, and I should have listened. I would be fighting for a playoff spot right now. Toula and Redd were new to the league, and to be fair Redd had a ton of injurries that hurt his chances.

If you go back and look at each year, last year was really the only time that a playoff spot has come down to the last week of the season. I don't think a lottery is going to hurt the league. I think it will slightly improve teams from selling out too early, and overall it's just more exciting. I am saying this while currently being in line for the first pick. I have no motives here - I think that it's going to make the league better and that's why I'm voting for it.

We can discuss other options for making the league more competitive, like possibly adding fee for the 2nd to last place team.

Redd - under the weighted option, it is pretty basic. The worst team gets 12 balls, the best team gets 1 ball.

I just did a test run based on the standing on the league home page, and here were the results:

Pick 1: Rick

Pick 2: CWill

Pick 3: Redd

Pick 4: McCain

Pick 5: PCT

Pick 6: Toula

Pick 7: Gyno

Pick 8: Karma

Pick 9: Lester

Pick 10: Knat

Pick 11: SFP

Pick 12: Rondo

I am pretty sure that Rondo is going to vote against this now

False...I dont think any of you can accuse me of my motive being not wanting a late pick.

I am arguing AGAINST a scenario where I have a chance to get the 1st pick.

OK. Thanks.

Now what about the draft order in the rest of the rounds? Is whatever happens in Round 1 thru the lottery the base order, and then it snakes from there?

Yeah, he got lucky. That's the cool thing about the lottery.

The top 3 teams did finish with the bottom 3 picks though.

Redd - yeah, the draft order would snake, so whoever got the 1st pick would have the last pick in the 2nd.
