Order of Supplementary Draft Picks
Order of Supplementary Draft Picks
My understanding is that draft order for Supplementary Draft picks has always been based strictly on the rank of every player's default year. Is that correct?
I'm noticing that before a league fills some owners are switching players to lower-ranked years, seemingly with the notion that if their team appears weaker than it actually is they'll be granted a better chance at early Supplementary Draft picks. That would, in actuality, be nothing more than a futile attempt to game the SIM, yes?

If a thing can be done, it will be done, some people will use any advantage or scam available to get an unfair advantage and then beat their chests over their ability to game the system, surely you are not surprised?
Re: Re: Order of Supplementary Draft Pi
The team power ranking is determined as soon as the team is done drafting. So changing after that doesn't help.
Re: Order of Supplementary Draft Pi
but if an owner adjusts their rosters PRIOR to the drafts completion, is this still doable?
Re: Re: Order of Supplementary Draft Pi
Good question.
I'm pretty sure things are set up so that it's not possible to, say, draft 22 players and then downgrade their rankings before picking the last player in hopes of outwitting the SIM's subsequent determination of drafting order for the two Supplemental Draft Rounds.

Nuroc is correct, and I just tested it out, you can't change stats until you've fully drafted, and at that point your team power was already determined.
Re: Re: Order of Supplementary Draft Pi
Good to know. I was always worried about it the other direction. There are a few pitchers in the Japan leagues that I can sometimes find BETTER years than their default, so I would try to wait until after the supplemental draft to upgrade them. But then I'd usually get impatient, or worry that i would forget, and do it anyway. Good to know that I'm usually bottom half of the supplemental draft order because of my great drafts and not because I'm shooting myself in the foot.
