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. If an owner drops, his numbers will also be vacant. This year it looks like this......
Iccoachb - (1 - 251)
Mcdarsh - (252 - 451)
Thomcat - (452 - 608)
jkaye24 - (609 - 728)
Maglor1 - (729 - 817)
Banditone - (818 - 881)
hoopsdude - (882 - 925)
Eleibowitz - (926 - 954)
Jhsukow - (955 - 972)
ysw128 - (973 - 984)
uptowngbv - (985 - 993)
tarheel1991 - (994-1000)
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.
46... Iccoachb
781... Maglor1
550... Thomcat
