So the league I've been the commisioner of for the past 16 years has a toilet bowl.
At first we didn't, then we made it so the toilet bowl loser had to bring beer to the draft. I used to do it that in Round 1 of the toilet playoffs if you WON you were out of the toilet playoffs, so the 2 teams that lost their first 2 rounds would match up in the toilet bowl.
For the past 10 years we've had a loser playoff for the first pick and this it what leads me to this thread. After much back and forth and thought this is how we have done it.
We have 6 teams not make the playoffs in my 12 man league. DRAFT order for the following year is based on this year. So for the 6 teams out of the playoffs this is what I do. I seed the teams based on the regular season, seeded 7 - 12. 7 seed is the best team that just missed making the playoffs.
I give seeds 7 and 8 a bye for the loser playoff.
So seed 9 plays seed 12, seed 10 plays seed 11.
I then reseed this bracket just like a normal playoff.
If you are eliminated your draft position will be based on you regular season record/seed.
So the #12 seeded team worst case is the 2nd pick overall next year. Just to play out the example.
Round 1 Seed 9 and 11 won
Round 2 Seed 11 beat seed 7 and Seed 9 beat Seed 8
Loser Bowl Seed 9 beat seed 11.
So I set next years draft accoridngly.
1. Seed 9
2. Seed 12
3. Seed 11
4. Seed 10
5. Seed 8
6. Seed 7
7-12 based on the "regular" playoff outcomes.
I kow it's a bit confusing but does it seem fair? Thoughts? Changes?
TIA
