Currently, in our Rules, we have this to lay out how draft order is determined:

Option A: Keep the same

Draft order is determined by winner of Consolation Bracket to loser of Consolation Bracket followed by inverse order of Winners Bracket. Draft slots 9-14 are determined by inverse order of Champion Bracket results:

Championship teams get slots 13/14; Runner-up teams get slots 11/12; Two Week Matchup teams get slots 9/10. The winners get the lower pick.
Draft slots 1-8 are determined by the results of the Consolation Bracket. Winners  Losers

I think it makes more sense to have the teams not still in running for 1st place to be winner gets the higher pick, so:

Option B: Winners get earlier pick
Draft order is determined by winner of Consolation Bracket to loser of Consolation Bracket followed by inverse order of Winners Bracket. Draft slots 9-14 are determined as follows

Championship teams get slots 13/14, where the Champion takes pick 14. Runner-up teams get slots 11/12; Two Week Matchup teams get slots 9/10. The winners of the Runner Up and Two-Week matchups get the earlier pick.
Draft slots 1-8 are determined by the results of the Consolation Bracket. Winners  Losers

So, the teams who finish in 3rd-6th would not have a reason to tank after being eliminated for a higher draft pick

I think it would be really helpful to see an example bracket with resulting picks, maybe a Moze special?

Here's how it looks this year, the old way:

Draft Order:
1. Colorado Rockies
2. Baltimore Orioles
3. San Francisco Giants
4. Detroit Tigers
5. Cleveland Indians
6. Cincinnati Reds
7. Los Angeles Dodgers
8. New York Yankees
9. Oakland Athletics
10. Boston Red Sox
11. Texas Rangers
12. Atlanta Braves
13. Kansas City Royals
14. New York Mets

Here is how it would look in after the change
Draft Order:
1. Colorado Rockies
2. Baltimore Orioles
3. San Francisco Giants
4. Detroit Tigers
5. Cleveland Indians
6. Cincinnati Reds
7. Los Angeles Dodgers
8. New York Yankees
9. Boston Red Sox
10. Oakland Athletics
11. Atlanta Braves
12. Texas Rangers
13. Kansas City Royals
14. New York Mets

So in the second list, 9 and 10 as well as 11 and 12 switch teams, 13/14 stays the same--champ gets last pick

The Baseball Dynasty!
