Revamping Draft Lottery
Posted: Sat May 18, 2019 8:38 am
The new system is below with the bolded percentages the old value:
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.
The new system would take effect at the 2036 draft to allow for testing (admin end) to ensure it works properly. There are no outstanding future 1sts that will be affected by this ruling.
Please vote if you are in favor or have any issues that would need to be addressed with this ruling change.
