Resolving Contested Draft Picks

Startup Draft - Scooby Doo 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 38 million in unused salary cap cash - regardless of how many uncontested draft picks they had.

Also with a rule change in 2014, players with salary 100 are placed first and when that is complete, all rosters (and salaries) are cleared temporarily to place the remaining players. In a 2015 rule change, we start the process first with any players given a #1 draft rank.

Resolving Players with Salary > 100 - Ranked #1 and Picked by 8 to 6 teams

4 players have a draft rank of #1 and we'll resolve them first...in the typical order (most teams first, descending salary, etc.)

First up, Anthony Rizzo (5 teams, Salary 2789)

Team	Cap Left	Bid	Rank
Georgia	38000	1000	4
Crystal Cove	38000	1000	21
Galactic	38000	1000	26
Camelback	38000	0	1
Cincinnati	38000	0	6

3 teams listed a tiebreaking bid - in this case all the same amount - so they move on and since cap left and total players are at their starting values, we go to rank - which makes Georgia the winner here.
