I seem to recall that if a team has a forfeit during the season, that they move down the draft selection order by 1 place. Does anyone recall how much truth there is in this.

In the last season's draft for my Utopian team, Westopian Tigers, I finished in 6th Position with a 6-16 record and -442 point difference. There was a team that finished 5-17 with -426 point difference and they had a forfeit. Yet, they got to pick above me in the draft.


Anyone clear on the rules regarding this?

Final 3 positions on my ladder last season

6 Westopian Tigers 6 16 1863 2305 0.273 -442
7 Peace Valley Sunnies 5 17 1984 2148 0.227 -164
8 Oro Jackson 5 17* 1881 2307 0.227 -426


Thanks in advance.

The game manual (The Draft) says,
Teams with the worst records will have the highest draft picks, so scouting is most important for teams that are at the bottom of the league. But, watch out for forfeits because each one means dropping a place in the pick order.
Oro Jackson was originally supposed to have the second pick in the draft, but due to a forfeit, it became the third.

Ah, that makes more sense.
