2012 Draft Lottery and Order
Sunday, January 8,
2012
The 2012 draft order will be determined via a
lottery system. The 8 teams that failed to qualify for the playoffs in
2011 will each have an opportunity to secure one of the top three draft picks
in the 2012 draft. Each team will be awarded lottery entries as follows:

Each entry will consist of a ball with an
owner’s name affixed to it. All 92 balls will be placed into the Draft
Order software program (http://www.draftorder.com/)
and a non-involved owner (one who qualified for the playoffs) or other third
party will select three balls electronically – one for the first, second and
third overall picks. The fourth pick will be awarded to the
non-lottery-winning owner with the worst record. The remaining order will
be determined by the traditional method, by reversing the previous year’s final
standings. As has been the case in prior years, the previous year’s
champion selects twelfth and the runner-up selects eleventh.
