To kick things off, random draws were held at the postseason bash to determine 2011 division assignments and the order for 1st round draft spot selection.

Division Assignments — The Central division has complete turnover from 2010, while CSPJ  and Tappa Kegga Day are staying put in an effort to defend their respective division titles.

Draft Spot Selection Order — After two straight years of intense fan pressure due to choosing their draft spot first, Camel Toe can rest easy. They are #14 this year and will not have to make any decisions until draft day. DDT is on the clock and can choose their draft spot anytime. Of course, we won’t be putting a timer on this until after July 4th weekend, so feel free to mull this over for 6 months.

By the way, if you guys were impressed with the girls Steck found for the draft, you should’ve seen who he invited to the postseason party. (That picture up there was the only SFW one we were able to get before things got really crazy)

Thanks to Andy and Rob from HURL for their help in the draw.

Congratulations to Camel Toe, who gets to choose any of the 14 first round draft spots. Hedfullalicker, on the other hand, will get whatever is left. View the complete first round spot selection order here.

Division Assignments Babe

I kinda wish I could be in Olivia Munn’s division. She’s quickly becoming a favorite, not just because she’s all like… hot. But, she’s also into technology, has a blog, talks about sex…

In the first order of official business, 2008 Division Assignments were drawn randomly. You can view the results on the Waymorefunner PFFL site.

A few notes:

• The last two Super Bowl champs (The Jedi Masters and Winning Beer Money) are in the Central
• Two 2007 division champs (SIAP and Kramerica) are paired up in the East
• Post Mortem is in the West for the fifth straight year.
• Kramerica is in the East for the third straight year
• Hedfullalicker (West), DDT (East), and WBM (Central) are staying in the same division they were in in ’07
• Post Mortem is the only ’07 playoff team in the West, while 4 of the 5 Eastern teams and 3 of 4 in the Central qualified for the postseason.

Next up, was the random drawing for the draft spot selection order. Before we get to those results, let me remind you of the changes that are in place for the 2008 draft. As announced in mid-August:

Some background: Our current draft order process re-randomizes every odd round. The goal of this activity was to increase the ‘fairness’ of the draft order for all teams in our unique 14 team league, via randomization (aka, every team has a shot at the 1st pick in the 3rd round). In addition, we started the “Pick your own first round spot” thing a few years ago as a way to increase the ‘fun factor’ in the offseason leading up to the draft itself. We could probably hold an endless debate about whether the randomization was truly “fair” or whether the pick your first round spot thing has been “fun”. I’m not going there now though, preferring instead to present our new and improved 2008 Draft process.

In 2008, we will draw names from a hat ONE time. This order will determine the order in which teams select their First Round Draft spot. The selection of a first round draft position will also determine your draft spot for the rest of the draft as follows:
The team who selects the #1 spot in round one will have the following picks:
1.01
2.14
3.14
4.14
5.01
6.14
7.01
etc

The team who selects the #14 spot in round one will have the following picks:
1.14
2.01
3.01
4.01
5.14
6.01
7.14
etc

In other words, the draft order will be set up with a traditional “serpentine” approach (each round is the reverse of the previous round), THEN the THIRD round (and third round only) will be flipped, so that rounds 2, 3 and 4 share the same draft order.

This is called “Third Round Reversal” or “Banzai” drafting. There is a bunch of statistical analysis that has gone into proving that this is the most equitable draft order, so our hope is that this order accomplishes the ‘parity’ goal that we had previously strived for with the re-randomization. AND, it should make the selection of your first round draft position a LOT more interesting, since the top spots will drop you near the bottom of the next three rounds.

The Draft Spot Selection order can be found on the same page that you make your spot selection. That page will be updateed soon to update the entire draft order once your selection is made. Of course, none of you will pick a spot until July anyway, but that’s beside the point.

Happy with your spot? Angered about it? Confused about which spot to select? Feel free to comment here or bitch to your mom. Your choice.

Carrie Underwood (a hot topic of discussion at the postseason party since she was on the SNL repeat airing after the playoff games finished and before JW and JH found the gay show) wishes all of you a happy FFL offseason.
