5.0 – DRAFT ORDER 5.1 Determination of Draft order for KRFL teams is based on the record and playoff finish by each team in the previous season. The selection order is based on each team's win-loss record in the previous regular season and whether the team reached the playoffs.
Teams that did not reach the playoffs the previous season are ranked in reverse order of their records (so the team with the fewest wins is awarded the first selection). Ties between teams with identical regular season records are broken by the following tiebreakers (in order): 1. The team with the higher Strength of Victory percentage, as calculated in the Action PC game (which is the combined winning percentage of the opponents a team has beaten), is awarded the earlier pick. 2. The team with the best won-lost-tied percentage in games against common opponents is awarded the earlier pick. 3. The team with the best won-lost-tied percentage in Conference games (if the teams are in the same conference) is awarded the earlier pick. 4. Winner of a coin flip(s), administered by the Commissioner, is awarded the earlier pick.
5.2- After following the procedures in section 5.1, the determination of the draft order of the first four picks in each round of the draft will use a lottery system involving the NY State Lotto (http://nylottery.ny.gov/wps/portal/Home/Lottery/Home/Jackpot+Games/LOTTO) lottery numbers to determine the final draft order for the those four picks each round.
5.3 - The non-lottery and non-playoff teams will be ranked based on section 5.1 above.
5.4 - Teams that reached the playoffs the previous season are then slotted in the order in which they were eliminated (1st round of playoffs, 2nd round of playoffs, Conference Championship, Superbowl). Within each tier, the slotting is determined as in 5.1 above (i.e. worst regular season record picks first and the same tiebreakers apply).
5.5 - Draft choices may be acquired by trade and teams may draft as many rookies as they have draft choices.
