I didn't make this rule up, and I'm not making up anything as we go - when I took over the commissioner duties for this tournament a couple of years ago I inherited rules that had existed, one of which was the draft for the final 12 is in order of final standings. It's been that way every year for a long time as far as I know, and it makes sense to me. The teams at the top of the standings did a lot earn their position through 5 rounds, this is a small advantage for that. Some might argue it's not an advantage at all, as I'm sure there are some that prefer to pick in the middle or the end of a snake draft.
mastermosser, I need to remind you again that I am not in the final 12, that I volunteer my time to run the best and most fair tournament possible for the simple reason that I am a player myself and I love this tournament. I don't know why you are being so disagreeable with everything that everyone else is OK with. If it makes you feel better, your bullying and harassment has already made me decide to quit being commissioner next year - so congrats for that - mission accomplished if your goal was to try and tear down this tournament. But for the sake of the other 11 people in this final, I'm trying to continue to fulfill my duty to get us to the finish line, because this has been (until now) a great tournament.
