Draft, Order, and Draft Pick Modifications

Lottery and Expansion Draft

Top 3 teams from last year pick in the final 3 -- 10th, 11th, 12th.
All remaining teams will be entered into a Draft Lottery.  The order of them will be lottery'd by me
New teams will get 4 draft lottery balls, e.g. they finished below the top 6 of the league
New teams will have the option for keepers.  See the ⁠keeper-selections channel for more information

9th  - 2 balls
10th - 4 balls
11th - 6 balls
12th - 8 balls
13th - 10 balls 
14th - 12 ball

The following messages are for the 2019-20 Season Draft. 
I'm giving all new teams 4 lottery balls -- that is, as if they finished in the bottom 4 last year
or, technically, since Kyle Tires and I are the worst remaining teams, bottom 6 effectively

Pick Discrepancies

Discrepancy #1

We have a pick discrepancy because Geordan traded Dave a 15th round pick, but that pick doesn't exist anymore. On top of this, going off of last years draft pick order, Jeremy actually has an extra pick because Geordan is no longer in the league as well.

To rectify this, we will complete the following transaction:

Jeremy forfeited a 14th round pick for Carter Hutton.  This pick will be downgraded to a 15th round pick, given to Dave's team, and then Jeremy will forfeit a 22nd round pick to keep Hutton.  Hutton will still count as a 14th round pick for keepers next year if he is kept or traded to another team.  If Hutton is dropped, he becomes a free agent, and that mitigates this chain.

Discrepancy #2

We have a pick discrepancy because Geordan traded a 10th round pick to Jeremy.  Since Geordan's team has been removed, I cannot replace that pick.

To rectify this, Jeremy's 21st round pick will be used for keeper Erik Gustafson, Jeremy will be able to keep his second 10th round pick. 
Gustafson will still count as a 10th round pick for keepers next year if he is kept or traded to another team.  If Gustafson is dropped, he becomes a free agent, and that mitigates this chain.
