Resolving Contested Draft Picks

Startup Draft - American Association

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 38 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).

Resolving Players with Salary 100 - Ranked #1 and Picked by 10 to 6 teams

New in 2015, we start with players given a #1 draft rank.  4 players with salary 100 fall in that category.

Then we resolve in order of the count of teams selecting a player - starting with the ones picked most often.

 

Yasmany Thomas was selected by 9 Teams

Team Cap Left Total Players Bid Rank
Arkansas 38000 0 1000 36
Fillmore 38000 0 500 1
English 38000 0 500 2
Kingston 38000 0 500 3
Tulsa 38000 0 500 5

Oklahoma 38000 0 0 18
New York 38000 0 0 23
Mt. Olympus 38000 0 0 24

 

First tiebreaker is how much cash put up with an auction bid, so Arkansas gets him


Kris Bryant picked by 8 teams

Team Cap Left Total Players Bid Rank
New York 38000 0 2500 1
San Diego 38000 0 1000 1
Quick Draw 38000 0 1000 2
Iowa 38000 0 500 1
Tulsa 38000 0 500 2
Mt. Olympus 38000 0 0 9
Oklahoma 38000 0 0 9
English 38000 0 0 28

 

And New York with the top bid


If players picked by the same number of teams, we go in order of baseball position in scoring

Two players picked by 6 teams

 

Miguel Sano (3B)

Team Cap Left Total Players Bid Rank
English 38000 0 500 1

Mt. Olympus 38000 0 0 31
Arkansas 37900 1 0 26

 

Three teams have the same 500 bid - all still have their full cap space left and zero players so far, so draft rank comes into play and English wins out
