Hey Guys,
Just looking for some advice on how some of your leagues may be doing things right now. Currently, I am in a 16 team, 9 keeper league. It's RB heavy with so many teams. Bascially every backup with any potential is protected in the 9 keeper. Our draft for the first round is all NFL draft players (rookies) and usually continues til the middle of the 2nd round, just depending on how deep the draft is.
We've had a system in place where the 8 non-playoff teams go into a normal lottery, everybody who doesn't make the playoffs has equal chance. There is no weighted system. We have also put in a rule that the furthest a team can drop is 4 spots. So worst team can be no lower than 5th. Second team no lower than 6th.
We are trying to find ways to see if there's an improvement to this process so that teams won't tank. The current system has worked fine up to this point, but we are trying to see if there is a better system than what we have currently in place. Here are some of the suggestions made by some of the owners in the league:
-only the worst 4 teams are eligible for the first pick, so the 13,14,15,16 placed teams are in a non-weighted lottery for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th overall picks. then the 2nd 4, places 9,10,11,12 are in separate lottery for picks 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th
-another suggestion is just to decrease the amount a team can drop from 4 spots to 3 spots, so #16 could do n worse than the 4th overall pick, #15 could do no worse than the fifth overall pick and so on.
any suggestions?
