Message: [QUOTE="OttoinGrotto, post: 4704532, member: 297"] Similar but different, I had an idea before that they should calculate lottery odds based on worst record the first half of the season, lock a portion of the odds in, and then base the remaining lottery odds off of which of the teams from that pool had the best record in the second half of the season. That way teams that are bad have some recognition of their quality, but teams are heavily incentivized to win games as the season wraps up. Would make for very exciting playoff races if you know a tanking organization is in the mindset that for a top 3 pick they need to win games. Plus teams could sell that they're on the upswing and their lotto pick is joining a team on the rise. Not appropriate for a tournament like this, but I'm with you that the incentives matter. [/QUOTE]
