About the consultation rounds; it's the first time I hear about that and I have no clue how this works. So there might be more rules I don't know yet. Are these viewable on the leaguepage or our own specific rules?
In that league half went to the playoffs, half went to the consolation rounds.

We now need to find one more team over the next couple weeks.

I think it places a stronger emphasis on playing the wire and talking trades right to the end. Personally, I'm happy with a lotto as well. Maybe we do a hybrid of both...

I like the idea of lotto to make it feel more realistic. I think if everyone is active (seems like it will in this league), there won't be that guy who drafts and stops updating after week 4. If everyone is active and competing all season then the lotto pick seems like a good idea.in masai we trust
water covers 98% of the earth, Mitchell Robinson covers the other 2%

I'd prefer a hybrid system.
The principal that the worse team gets the best pick is sound. Team 16 will have a difficult time winning a consolation title.
Perhaps team 16 has 8 chances for top pick and team 9 has 1. With additional chances being earned in the consolation round or something similar to this.

I'm not saying that the team that comes last must have the worst manager (just throwing that in here in case I become last) but being without chances against the number 9? 7 years of first overall picks won't help that guy. And if it's because of injuries, his team isn't as bad as it seems.

One point I'd like to make is that if you tank I'll toss you from the league. I'm trying to make this clear, we don't want anyone hurting the competitive balance in this league. If you try and fail, that's fine but if you're not setting your lineup you're not going to last long in this league. You won't see a Bobcats scenario play out because that person won't be around to reap any rewards.

If the nr. 16 team is that bad that he's without chances in the consolation rounds that's just and only because of bad management.

People loose interest when they loose. It is fairly consistent in these games. There are many reasons for loosing. Opportunities to improve have to exist.
Stacked teams= small league
I 100% agree in not rewarding non participation however i would prefer that the opportunity to improve is well established.

More important: I think there are some good managers in this league who have already shown in the Keeper league that they are competitive. It's no public league.
Based on what I've seen from last year I don't expect superstacked teams and really bad teams because this usually happens due to ignorant (unprepared) drafting followed up by a bad strategy during the year. And I know I'm not the only one working on my draftboard and draftstrategy.
Even though there might be different strategies, focusing on the short or long term, I'll expect a competitive league.
