Resolving Contested Draft Picks

Startup Draft - Fenway Fenatics

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 46 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).
