Resolving Contested Draft Picks

Startup Draft - Perfect World 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 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).

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

Team	Cap Left	Rank

Four teams ranked him #1, and of those teams, California gets him based on random draw.

Two players were selected by 9 teams. In that case, we resolve in descending order of salary.

First up, Tommy Hanson (Salary 1332)

Team	Cap Left	Rank
Arkansas	46000	1
Niagara Falls	46000	2
Oklahoma	46000	3
Commerce Michigan	46000	3
Mississippi	46000	5
Westside	46000	14
Claremont's	46000	14
Crater Lake	46000	14

Arkansas was the only team to rank him first, so they get him.

Stephen Strasburg (100)

Team	Cap Left	Total Players	Rank
Ehime	46000	0	1
Niagara Falls	46000	0	1
Classical	46000	0	2
Commerce Michigan	46000	0	16
Claremont's	46000	0	25
Minnesota	46000	0	999
Texas	46000	0	999
California	45900	1	999
Arkansas	44668	1	6

It's down to two teams who ranked him as their top priority...goes to Ehime in a random draw.

Wade Davis was picked by 8 teams.

Team	Cap Left	Total Players	Rank
Classical	46000	0	10
Midwest	46000	0	10
Oklahoma	46000	0	12
Commerce Michigan	46000	0	15
Mississippi	46000	0	20
Niagara Falls	46000	0	999
Ehime	45900	1	2
Arkansas	44668	1	19

The first tiebreaker is salary cap room left, so for example that puts Ehime out of the running. Classical gets him in a random draw between them and Midwest (full cap left - highest rank).

Four players picked by 7 teams...

First is Elvis Andrus (Salary 995)

Team	Cap Left	Rank
Crater Lake	46000	6

Ehime	45900	1	5
Crater Lake	45005	1	2

Among teams with full cap left, Commerce Michigan has him ranked highest.

Two players have salary 200. When the salary is the same we resolve in order of position in baseball scoring (all OF = 7, DH = 8)

If the position is the same, we go in alphabetical order.
