Individual Proposal for Draft Lottery Tournament for Non-Playoff Teams
( This proposal should only be used in the event the original comprehensive package is not approved )
5.1 Determination of Draft Order for KRFL teams is based on the record and playoff finish by each team in the previous season. The selection order is based on each team’s won-loss record in the previous regular season and whether the team reached the playoffs.
Teams that did not reach the playoffs will participate in a lottery tournament to determine the draft order for the first 12 picks in the next draft. The tournament will follow the same playoff rules contained in Rule 11 with the following exceptions:
1. Lottery Playoff for 12 non playoff teams will follow similar process as Regular Playoff:
- Round 1: 4 teams with best records get first round byes. Remaining 8 teams are seeded 1-8 based on winning percentage and play first round games.. ( 1-8, 2-7,3-6, 4-5) -Round 2: 8 remaining teams seeded 1-8 based on winning percentages and play -Round 3: 4 remaining teams seeded 1-4 based on winning percentages and play -Round 4: 2 remaining teams play each other
At the end of the lottery tournament, the draft order will be awarded as follows:
1. Lottery Playoff Champion 2. Round 4 Loser 3-4. 2 Round 3 Losers ranked based on tie breaker record 5-8 . 4 Round 2 Losers ranked based on tie breaker record 9-12. Round 1 Losers ranked based on tie breaker record
“ Tie breaker records” are based on the following:
We have playoff games: same number of games in same time period. What is the difference ??
I like the fresh approach. I like the idea of this sort of a change and it should be voted on in some form. I'm certainly willing to stay involved at the end of a bad season if it means I can make my team better.
I do not support this, and if it should pass I will resign from the league immediately.....any process that 'rewards' the best non playoff team with the best pick in the draft is seriously flawed and would destroy competitive balance. I also resent the implication that a team having a bad season is 'tanking'....
