2011 Playoffs

That would make sense, in the spirit of what the rule was instended for..to prevent teams from tanking to get 1st overall pick...

Why don't we come up with these questions when we are voting ;-)

We actually did and it is changed to reflect that it is in the rules revision attached file from May 6th that I resent you. Again, the rules listed on MFL site isn't the last revision.

This is cut and pasted from the final revision:

We will have a Toilet Bowl for non-playoff teams, which would result in a lottery for ONLY the 1st 2 picks in the annual rookie draft
All non playoff teams will begin Toilet Bowl with a "set" percentage of chances out of 100 for the 1st pick.
At the start of Toilet Bowl, the following teams will get a percentage of the 100 chances at pick 1:
12th: 25%
11th: 15%
10th: 10%
9th: 7%
8th: 5%
7th: 3%
Total = 65% odds of getting 1st pick.
The remaining 35% will be distributed in the following way at the completion of Toilet Bowl:
Winners of 1st round get + 5% added to their base %.
Winners of 2nd round get another + 5% added to their base %.
Loser of "Toilet Bowl" gets another + 5% added to their base %.
Winner of "Toilet Bowl" gets another 10% added to their base %.
The 7th and 8th place teams will get 1st round byes. This allows the lower teams (12-9) to potentially earn more % points vs. the 7th and 8th place teams.
At the completion of Toilet Bowl, will hold the lottery with the set percentage points for the 1st 2 picks ONLY - As a result the 4 non-playoff teams that didn't win the #1 and #2 picks would be assigned picks 3-6 from highest seed to lowest seed assuring the #12 seed no worse then the #3 selection.


The Frenzy Bowl runner up will pick 11th with the winner picking 12th. Spots 7-10 will the playoff seeding, with the worst seed picking 7th.

It was not explicitly stated. Good question!
However, I believe this is only for the first two picks of the first round.
The draft order for the remaining picks in the first round (1.03-1.06) will be set by overall record.
Rounds 2-4 will be on the default ranking order, determined by overall record (bottom 6) and playoff finish (top 6).
