Resolving Contested Draft Picks

Startup Draft - Triple Crown League

See the Draft Rules for how these players were awarded.  Remember, that all contested players are placed first - so at the beginning, all teams have 44 million in unused salary cap cash - regardless of how many uncontested draft picks they had.

 

For resolution purposes, any player rank left at zero was changed to "999" (to allow for sorting).

We start off by awarding players selected by the most teams and proceed down from there.  One player was selected by 10 teams:

Evan Longoria - 10 teams

Team Cap Left Total Players Rank
Ohio 44000 0 1
Pittsburgh 44000 0 1
Guadalajara, Mexico 2011 44000 0 1
Oakdale 44000 0 3
Uranus 44000 0 3
Backwoods 44000 0 3
Raging 44000 0 6
PA 44000 0 999
New Brighton 44000 0 999
Kylertown 44000 0 999

 

See the rules for the full tiebreaking procedure, but at the beginning, when no teams have any players, we get down to the final tiebreakers.  Draft rank is the next-to-last tiebreaker...so between the three teams ranking Longoria #1, we have to use a random draw.  And in that, Longoria goes to Guadalajara

 


Two players were picked by 9 teams.  In that situation, we award the players in order of descending salary.

First up - Alexei Ramirez (Salary 1289)

Team Cap Left Total Players Rank
Ohio 44000 0 5
Mars 44000 0 6
Backwoods 44000 0 6
Minnesota 44000 0 9
Uranus 44000 0 9
Raging 44000 0 12
PA 44000 0 999
White Bear 44000 0 999
Guadalajara, Mexico 2011 42563 1 10

 

Guadalajara is out of the running based on their salary cap remaining (after getting Longoria).  Of the remaining teams, Ohio ranked him the highest and gets him.

 


Next, Yovani Gallardo (508)

Team Cap Left Total Players Rank
Kylertown 44000 0 2
Raging 44000 0 11

Minnesota 44000 0 25
PA 44000 0 999
White Bear 44000 0 999
Guadalajara, Mexico 2011 42563 1 17

 

Kylertown gets him, based on draft rank.

 


Four players were picked by 8 teams.

Again, in salary order, we start with Francisco Liriano (Salary 751)

Team Cap Left Total Players Rank
Backwoods 44000 0 4
Mars 44000 0 8
Pittsburgh 44000 0 9
Uranus 44000 0 14

Kylertown 43492 1 999
Ohio 42711 1 23
Guadalajara, Mexico 2011 42563 1 5

 

He goes to Backwoods, based on rank.

 


Max Scherzer (609)

Team Cap Left Total Players Rank
Mars 44000 0 12
Oakdale 44000 0 12
Minnesota 44000 0 15
PA 44000 0 999
Kylertown 43492 1 999
Backwoods 43249 1 23
Ohio 42711 1 20
Guadalajara, Mexico 2011 42563 1 8

 

Mars and Oakdale both have him ranked #12.  In a random draw, he goes to Mars

 


Now...2 players have salary 100.  When the salaries are equal, we award players in order of position, based on baseball scoring (all pitchers are treated as "1", all outfielders as "7", and any DH-only guys go last).

 

David Price (100, P)

Team Cap Left Total Players Rank
Pittsburgh 44000 0 8
Minnesota 44000 0 11
Oakdale 44000 0 15

Kylertown 43492 1 1
Backwoods 43249 1 12
Ohio 42711 1 4
Guadalajara, Mexico 2011 42563 1 3

 

Of the teams with their full salary cap figure remaining, Pittsburgh has him ranked highest and gets him.
