[quote:5ceb72498f]8. 1) The first 3 draft positions of the draft (except for our initial draft) will be determined by weighted NBA type draft lottery of the eight teams with the worst records (i.e. non playoff teams). All other draft choices and all other rounds are chosen in reverse order of finish.
2) The lottery works like this, We will have a list of five states, WI, AZ, CT, NJ, and CA, in this order.
3) The annual spring free agent will be determined by the lottery numbers on the first day AFTER the previous season's Strat postseason ends that the lottery occurs in those states.
4) We will take the pick 3 of the first state (WI), using only the last two numbers and use the chart below to determine who receives the first choice. We'll use AZ to choose the second choice, and CT to choose the third. If any of the first 3 states are duplicates (say WI and AZ numbers both choose the team with the 8th best record, then we use the last two states (NJ and CA). If after 5 states, we still have not chose 3 choices, then we go in reverse order after the choices that have been chosen.
Record of Team-last two numbers of pick 3 #
worst team 01-25 (25%)
11th best team 26-45 (20%)
10th best team 46-63 (18%)
9th best team 64-78 (15%)
8th best team 79-88 (10%)
7th best team 89-94 (6%)
6th best team 95-98 (4%)
5th best team 99-00 (2%)
example: On the day of the draft the numbers are WI-1(94), AZ-7(08), CT-3(19), NJ-8(66), The first choice goes to the team with the 7th best record, because of WI 94, the second choice goes to the team with the worst record because of AZ - 08, the 3rd choice would also have gone to the worst team, but the same team can not have 2 draft choices, so we got to the tiebreaker state, NJ, and the 66 means the 3rd choice goes to the team with the 9th best record. the 5th state is not needed.
The 4th pick goes to the team with the second worst record, and from this point on we go in reverse order of W-L record among teams who did not draw a high choice[/quote:5ceb72498f].
Thought I'd send this as a reminder about the draft lottery for the first three positions is Round 1.
