Yes, immediately after the player draft.

7. Heading into the start of a NEW YEAR -- the Divisions (AND the FREE AGENT DRAFT ORDER) will be in order of the previous year's total combined standings. Any ties will be broken by; 1. Head to Head results and if needed -best head to head better seed; 2. Greatest positive RS-RA differential-better seed. The league will be formed such that the EAST will be teams 1-4, the CENTRAL 5-8 and the WEST 9-12.
Suggested New Format to determine Draft Order starting Supplemental 2024.
Draft order 1-8 Non-Playoff Teams (worst record #1 to best record at #8)
#9 - 1st Round Playoff Loser with worst record
#10. 1st Round Playoff Loser with better record
#11. World Series Loser
#12. World Series Winner

OK - rules will change. I did forget to clarify that even though we are using COMBINED RECORDS of Season 1 and Season 2 , the Draft Order is only based off Season 2's Playoff Teams.

I will say, it was my ask that that brought this all about. Picking last after not having won the championship (twice) just felt wrong. So I asked Kev, if we could change the rule to get the WS champion picking last and the playoff teams as the last four picks. This is the way it’s run in almost every other keeper I’m in, and it’s also the way it’s run in the leagues I’ve been commissioner.
I’d say your concern about the East draft position I’d offset by allowing the East team the chance to compete for a WS title. Having the playoff structure we do allows for two new playoff teams every season, not just every year and to me that offsets your issue with the East champ's draft position. Do the East champs always win in the playoffs? No but they also don’t always lose. And the chance at a title is worth a one season with too high a draft slot. Besides it’s not the slot that determines the value it’s the player picked.![]()
Just my two cents.
PS DRAFT NOT MOVING AS FAST TODAY
