besides the questions I made on (156.42), I still got a couple more:

(1) so the standings of the regular season will determine exactly the order of the draft? there will be no lottery?
(if that's true that's too bad... a lottery would at least avoid teams from giving up games 'cause they wouldn't have the 1st pick guaranteed)

(2) promotio/relegation will be done AFTER the draft, right? a team that finishes last and falls will still get the first pick of the group before falling, and not the last pick of the lower division, right??

in answer to 2) is definitely yes

in answer to 1) we don't currently have a lottery setup, but that's an interesting suggestion.. we will talk about it.

hahaha.

No man, that disturbs the whole idea of the draft that is to try to balance things. Draft before relegation / promotion is the only way. And finantial prizes for the champions is the most appropriate and enough.

And Charles, you are right, relegation is already enough to keep teams from throwing games...

But I would still like to have a lottery draft like on NBA... The worst teams on the league would still have a huge advantage on the draft, but there will be at lest a certain level of unpredictability.

ps: another measure we can have one day to balance the strength of teams is teh "salary cap" and the "luxury-tax", hahaha.. but that's something for the future...
