From manual:

http://redzoneaction.org/football/index.php?page=help&subpage=manual&topic=Draft

The draft happens once a season, on the Thursday 9 days after the Super Bowl (game day #21). The new players appear on the draft list on 1st Sunday. The draft order is dependent upon the current season’s league ranking after game day 17. The last place team has the first pick, the first place team has the 32nd pick.


The bold one is not the order how it is handled because it is looking to be handled more like in NFL Draft order determination

Thanks for the CR.

lol...

29 Heidelberg Hippos Gonzalo Lemaster (RB)
30 Bocian Squad Wit Pilch (CB)
31 RZA.ORG Tackles Edmundo Vanhorn (DL)
32 Rothes Claymores Bruce Leask (SF)

This is in "our" league happen this night.

But based on your write

The draft order is dependent upon the current season’s league ranking after game day 17

The league standing after game day 17 is:

#1 RZA.ORG Tackles *
#2 Saarbruecken Orcs *
#3 Bretzfeld Bandits y
#4 Bocian Squad z

So even on this 4 only either description is wrong or maybe even the function of order?!? Im not here to check all your bugs on detail but when you check at least the conference finals and league championship the draft order seems to be in order like NFL would do.

But sure you should check also all the other now that you are in charge - good luck and thanks for the CR.

according to the change log we changed that some (test-)seasons back...

There was a complaint that playoff participants should be ranked higher (from the point of view of the draft lower) than the non playoff teams.

I will change the manual, thats it.
