We can begin to draft the day following game 141 has been completed.

Order will be determined based on worst record picks first to best picks
last (other than the first four picks of round 1).
Tie-breakers will be firstly run differential (worse picks first)
followed by head-to-head record (loser picks first)
then by home record (worst percentage picks first)
lastly by remaining cash (most cash picks first).

A lottery for the first 4 picks of the first round only will be completed using the Pick 3's, with the lowest pick 3 getting first pick. Subsequent rounds will be based on standings at game 141.

Here are the states (cobbled together from various sources) we will use if we don't hear different before 6pm EST on the evening following game 141.

BC - Ont
canauscot - MI
jsam - NH
RR - NC

Sphillip - CT
Crossing - KY
Ugly J - CA
Yellow D - MN

Via a trade in 1974 with crossingroads (Briggs, Colborn, Upshaw for Coleman Perez, Sosa) I have the higher of the Maples or Reflex picks in the first round of 1976 - see below


"This deal includes the Reflex upgrading the Maples draft in 76. The
Reflex send the Maples their first round pick in 76. The Maples send the
Reflex either their first round pick (if it is after the Reflex) or their second
round pick (if the Maples are selecting higher than the Reflex)."

Of course I'm away for several days after game 141 (I swear I don't do any work travel and we only rarely go away, but every time one of these drafts comes up, I'm away for the start).
So you can either wait until I'm back Tuesday or one of the 11 co-commishes can kick this off.

I will provide a proxy list to somebody once I've scanned the 1976 rookie crop.

Any other draft deals to be aware of?

Doesn't this trade involve UJ and Canauscot only? Am I missing something here? I have been kind of out of the loop for a little while.

This is the correct order with me and canauscot trading first round picks since I had the higher one. Crossing was never in our deal.

sorry too rushed, the above looks right now

Canauscot, is the 2nd round order the same as the 1st round? I ask b/c, if not, we should capture the 2nd round order before the standings change.
