Lottery
Ok....here's how I'm doing the lottery. As I said, it will be done almost just like the NBA.
Here's how the NBA has its odds(per wiki)....
- 250 combinations, 25.0% chance of receiving the #1 pick
- 199 combinations, 19.9% chance
- 156 combinations, 15.6% chance
- 119 combinations, 11.9% chance
- 88 combinations, 8.8% chance
- 63 combinations, 6.3% chance
- 43 combinations, 4.3% chance
- 28 combinations, 2.8% chance
- 17 combinations, 1.7% chance
- 11 combinations, 1.1% chance
- 8 combinations, 0.8% chance
- 7 combinations, 0.7% chance
- 6 combinations, 0.6% chance
- 5 combinations, 0.5% chance
So what I'm going to do is make #13/14 vacant and assign the 12 lottery teams the other spots based on record. The owners that dropped will also leave those numbers vacant. This year it looks like this......
iccoachb - (1 - 250)
natenoy - (251 - 449)
banditone - (450 - 605)
98average - (606 - 724)
seapilots - out - (725 - 812)
tricky24 - (813 - 875)
slymonium - (876 - 918)
thomcat - (919 - 946)
eleibowitz - (947 - 963)
mikee1 - (964 - 974)
longtallbrad - (975 - 982)
scudmissle - (983 - 989)
vacant - (990 - 1000)
I'm going to use Random.Org to select a number from 1-1000. I'll keep generating a new number until it is one that isn't vacant. Just like the NBA, this is only being done for the first 3 picks. After those 3, the order for the other lottery teams will go by record.
I hope you guys will just trust me here but if enough people have a problem with Random.Org then I can always switch it to the lottery next season. Ok here goes.....
