Draft Lottery Format

Post by Oregon Ownage »

The draft lottery format is below with the traditional percentages bolded in parenthesis:

Team 1 > 14.0% (25.0%)
Team 2 > 14.0% (19.9%)
Team 3 > 14.0% (15.6%)
Team 4 > 12.5% (11.9%)
Team 5 > 10.5% (8.8%)
Team 6 > 9.0% (6.3%)
Team 7 > 7.5% (4.3%)
Team 8 > 6.0% (2.8%)
Team 9 > 4.5% (1.7%)
Team 10 > 3.0% (1.1%)
Team 11 > 2.5% (0.8%)
Team 12 > 1.5% (0.7%)
Team 13 > 1.0% (0.6%)

In short, the bottom 3 teams would receive the same odds (14%) with increased odds for the teams at the back-end of the lottery. Also with this, we can divide percentages where teams tie and removes the luck variable of who gets the better pick. Example: Teams 4 & 5 tie with the same record so we would combine their odds (12.5 and 10.5 = 23) and divide them between the teams. Teams 4 & 5 would receive new odds of 11.5% each.

It would be run through a third party site (http://www.draftpicklottery.com/index.php) where I can input the values on the custom style.

Only the top 4 picks are determined with this new system with picks 5-13 being determined by record. 2nd round will stay the same and be determined by record.
