Proposed: That instead of the standard method of choosing draft order based solely on record, we incorporate a draft lottery system.

The lottery will begin after next season. (The upcoming draft will be done with the regular system.)
All teams that did not make the playoffs will be in the lottery.
The top four draft picks will be obtained through the lottery.
The probability progression will start with the worst team having a 20% chance of getting the first pick and the probabilities will drop exponentially from there.
TuringComplete will generate 1000 possible orderings based on the probabilities given above. An online dice server will be used to select which of the 1000 orderings will be the actual one for the draft.
After the end of the regular season, TuringComplete will generate and post the draft order. At the end of the first round of the playoffs, the draft will be done on the forums following the rules set up for the original draft.

Vote "Yes" if you want this draft lottery or "No" if you don't.
You may add a single line of commentary with your vote, but no more.
Only post once to this thread. Additional posts will be deleted.
Thanks!

Just curious, but, how is this going to be carried out? The players need to get from point A to point B somehow, manually doing the draft could cause very bad things to happen. The only way to work this draft would be to FORCE the owner in position 1 to make a pick for the position who won the lottery, then after the draft, trade the draft picks.

Admittedly this is a situation fraught with potential error, confusion, upset feelings, and the collapse of civilization as we know it. It is dependent upon everyone doing what they're supposed to do.

Here's how it should go:

During the playoffs we do the draft on this message board for the first 16 picks. That way we know who is supposed to have whom.
Those 16 teams set up their draft list with just the one guy they chose on the board.
When the computer runs the draft everyone gets put on the team that drafted them on the board.
Teams 17-32 do the draft as normal, as well as all 2nd round picks

So, if I had the first pick in the game, but ended up with third pick due to the lottery, I would make my pick of player C after players A and B were taken by the teams ahead of me. Then, no matter how much more I'd like to have player A, I just put player C on my draft list in the game.

This system is vulnerable to someone going against their agreement to abide by the rules the league has established, but based on my understanding of the game limitations, it's probably the best we can do at this point. Do you have a better method in mind, Scott?
