Tie Breaking in the draft

[PLD3009]

does FOF use the same process as the NFL to determine tie breaks when ordering the draft?

If they don't what tie breaking process do they use?

Any info welcomed :)

Yes, the tie-breaking procedure for the draft is the same as in the NFL:

• The team with the lowest winning percentage at the end of the previous season drafts first in the NFL Draft.

• The rest of the teams are placed in order from lowest winning percentage to the highest.

• The Super Bowl winner drafts last, even if they do not have the highest winning percentage.

• The Super Bowl loser drafts next to last.

• Strength of schedule for the previous season is the first tie-breaker for teams with the same winning percentage.

• Divisional and conference records are the next step in the tie-breaking procedure.

• As a last resort, a coin toss is used to determine the order of selection for teams with the same winning percentage.

• If a playoff and non-playoff team end the season with the same winning percentage, the non-playoff team selects before the playoff team regardless of strength of schedule

Power Ratings Screen

Use the Power Ratings Screen to view the power ratings for the league. These become more meaningful as the season progresses.

The power ratings are based on System 304, developed by Solecismic Software for use with college and professional football. Each team is compared to every other team in the league based on results of past games.

Teams are analyzed based on the score of each game, though there are diminishing returns for larger margins of victory. Strength of schedule is very important in this rating system. The point spreads assigned to each game are largely based on these ratings.

This screen also shows each team's opponents' composite record, which is a tie-breaker used when determining the draft order at the end of the year.
