Based on a ton of feedback from you guys, I have come up with the following policy to create league parity:
Following the Super Bowl, there will be the following mandatory cuts:
The Super Bowl winner must cut:
3 players rated 80+
2 players rated 70+
2 players rated 60+
The Super Bowl loser must cut:
2 players rated 80+
2 players rated 70+
2 players rated 60+
The loser's of both conference championship games must cut:
2 players rated 80+
1 player rated 70+
2 players rated 60+
All other playoff teams that did not advance to the conference championship game must cut:
1 player rated 80+
1 player rated 70+
2 players rated 60+
Any team that finishes .500 or above must cut:
1 player rated 70+
2 players rated 60+
This will leave a player pool of about 70 players. These players will be entered into a "Parity Draft" where ALL teams can participate.
Parity Draft lottery:
Teams will be given odds based on their point differential during the regular season. The team that has the highest negative margin (for instance: 140 pts scored, 400 pts allowed) will receive the best chance to receive the first pick in the Parity Draft.
The lottery will work as follows...
- The worst team in the league will be given 20 pieces of paper in a hat with the team name on it.
- The next worst team in the league will be given 15 pieces of paper in the hat.
- The third worst team will be given 12 pieces of paper in the hat.
- 4th - 10 pieces in the hat.
- 5th - 8 pieces in the hat.
- 6th - 7 pieces in the hat.
- 7th - 6 pieces
- 8th - 5 pieces
- 9th - 4 pieces
- 10th - 3 pieces
- 11th through 18th - 2 pieces each
- All other teams receive 1 piece of paper in the hat.
All other teams eligible (non-playoff teams) will receive 1 piece of paper in the hat.
The Parity draft order will be in snake order, meaning the first pick of the first round picks last in the second round.
After the second round, the remaining players (probably less than 7) will be rewarded to the Ragin'Alpaca Sportmen of the Year (the reward given to the owner's that stick around even when they and their team suck).
The Parity draft and lottery will occur after the Superbowl on the league chat room. I will control the hat picking. Sorry guys, you will just have to trust me.
If you can not make it to the Parity draft, please submit a draft list to someone who will be there. If you do not, you will be given the highest player available based on overall rating. If there is a tie in overall ratings, you will be given the player whose last name comes first in the alphabet.
