Hi,
Here are the rules for the draft lottery. We had a tie that wasn't covered in the rules so I just went with the worst overall team WJS6768 getting the third overall pick. Check things over to make sure its okay if no mistakes are found by 5/27/13 at noon EST we will go with what is posted here.
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.

I used the first results of the day for the states that have more than one drawing a day.
WI 229
AZ 998
CT 745
NJ 735
CA 339
WI 29 coming in FrankMansueto gets the number 1 pick
AZ 98 coming in Spider gets the number 2 pick
CT 45 that pick is already gone to FrankMansueto tie breaker time
NJ 35 that pick is already gone to FrankMansueto tie breaker time
CA 39 that pick is already gone to FrankMansueto out of tie breakers
So the third pick will go to the team with the worst overall record WJS6768
The first round will look like this
1. Frank Mansueto
2. Spider
3. WJS6768
4. calbatross
5. Page2
6. coachteel
