Really wish I did not spend like 15 hours writing code trying to make an improved division model today.

I think flipping the third round is a good idea, but I wonder if it is a bit too much. Would it make sense to flip the third and then flip again, maybe the eighth round?

I don't think we can do that. There has been a leaning to 6 of the 10 champs in the bottom half of the 1st, but it's slight and I'd guess more a result of the quality of the owners who happened to end up in that spot. Getting a top 5 pick and then two more picks in the 45-55 range I believe would be a very large advantage to the top of the draft.

I wasn’t saying don’t flip in the third, I was thinking that flipping in the third was an advantage for the bottom half of the draft and was wanting the opinion of others if we should flip again at the bottom of the draft to make it more fair for everyone.

What the first ten seasons show more than anything is that you need to be an elite manager in order to win Savage. Rob and kinoa1 have both won at the top and the bottom.

The meta resets with every new drop so you would need a couple drafts to see where any new advantage lies on this drop before you could even consider any possible change.

i have absolutely no plans to change anything about the draft round order

If we are discussing changes I would also be interested in exploring adding a few +10's up for grabs:

4 playoff teams in
Make Finals

interesting...but im gonna say no unless i get a lot of push back to make these changes

i dont really want any more points taking away from regular season win totals

as someone who traditionally does well in the regular season but poorly in the playoffs, I 100% back your final sentence!

All this talk of slow picks caused me to have a dream last night that I would wake up to see I was up at 16 and people were po’d.

If you are in Savage, Kerry should have you cell number.

Anyone gonna be awake for a while for a proxy?

Me. Everyone gone home now

Very interesting start by PBnJ with Rodman/Ben Wallace. Elite rebounding and defense, low usage and scoring. Looking forward to see this roster develop

First round was pretty chalk but there are 8 picks in the second already that really have me scratching my head. Each of them either:
- went ~10-15 picks too early with alternative paths I liked better

or

- the person selected had a clearly superior player of the same profile on the board.

And I haven’t even picked yet. The number is sure to grow!
