    Default Lottery draft advice

    I run a 10 team keeper league. We have a lottery draft to see who gets first overall pick. Bottom 6 are in lottery. What percentages would you allocate to the teams? Currently I have the odds to win the first overall pick at:

    5th = 3 %
    6th = 4 %
    7th = 6 %
    8th = 12 %
    9th = 25 %
    10th = 50 %

    You advice is appreciated

    In my league we break it down as follows:

    12th place - 24
    11th place - 20
    10th place - 16
    9th place - 12
    8th place - 8
    7th place - 4

    we then have 16 additional 'entry tickets' that can be earned thru a variety of incentives throughout the season

    Great reply mcgoo, thanks! I really like the percentage breakdown, it keeps the bottom teams honest or at least they don't have a guaranteed shot at the top pick. I would definitely consider using that breakdown.
