The 4 playoff teams from season 1 will be In the same division for season 2. (I would also suggest this from Season to Season, ie 2014 Season 2 to 2015 Season 1)
Niners also suggests that the 4 playoff teams from season 1 will make up the the supplemental draft positions 9-12 with 9 being the Wild card and the other 3 division winners slotted according to record.
Personally I agree that the 4 playoff teams should be in the same division for the next season but would personally like to see that draft order stay the same based on record. So I would like to add that as an option to the rule change Niners suggests. So please also vote on which draft order you prefer as well. Option 1 for Niners suggestion or Option 2 for draft order to be based only on record.
Niners-Yes 1
Terry-2
Hawk-Yes
Rant- 1
MFL- Yes -2
Tcochran - Yes 2
Turtle-
Iron-Yes 2
Peter- Yes 2
Zim- Yes
Ray-
Rosco-Yes 2
Ok so the first part of the rule change passes, still need to know about the 2nd part. Please post 1 or 2.
Actually since the 2nd part of the vote (Option 1 or Option 2) would end up being a rule change thus needing 8 votes and we already have 6 in favour of option 2 which is essentially just leaving the draft order the way it is, the vote is over.
So starting next season the 4 playoff teams regardless of record will make up the eastern division of the following season. The other 8 teams will then make up the Central and the West based on record with the 4 worst records in the West. The draft order for both the sup and spring FA draft will remain the same based solely on record.
