Resolving Contested Draft Picks

Startup Draft - Great Lakes League

See the Draft Rules for how these players were awarded. Remember, that all contested players are placed first - so at the beginning, all teams have 57 million in unused salary cap cash - regardless of how many uncontested draft picks they had.

Also with a rule change in 2014, players with salary 100 are placed first and when that is complete, all rosters (and salaries) are cleared temporarily to place the remaining players. In a 2015 rule change, we start the process first with any players given a #1 draft rank.

Resolving Players with Salary > 100 - Ranked #1 and Picked by 7 to 5 teams

5 players have a draft rank of #1 from at least one team and we'll resolve them first

Resolution occurs in the typical order (most teams first, then in order of descending salary, etc.)
