Draft Lottery

The draft lottery is modelled after the new MLB draft lottery arriving in 2023, with odds taken from there for the 16 non-playoff teams.

The first six picks will be chosen by the lottery out of the sixteen non-playoff teams, and then the default draft order will be used for the rest of the draft.

  • Worst record: 16.5%
  • Second-worst record: 16.5%
  • Third-worst record: 16.5%
  • Fourth: 13.25%
  • Fifth: 10%
  • Sixth: 7.5%
  • Seventh: 5.5%
  • Eighth: 3.9%
  • Ninth: 2.7%
  • 10th: 1.8%
  • 11th: 1.4%
  • 12th: 1.1%
  • 13th: 0.90%
  • 14th: 0.76%
  • 15th: 0.62%
  • 16th: 0.48%

For both the Lottery and Standard Draft Order, ordering is a little changed from the past - old system ordered by worst record across all teams, and playoff teams could pick before non-playoff. Now it's worst record of Non-Playoff Teams, then DCS losers, LCS losers, WS loser, Champ.

  • Note *Note - we hope to expand the flexibility for the number of lottery picks, eligible teams, and odds in future updates, but stay tuned.
