This off-season the league voted to move from a hard draft slotting format to a slot selection process, where teams will be allowed to select their position in the first round. For instance, the winner of New York vs Savannah will select their position first, followed by the loser of that matchup- they can choose anywhere from 1st overall to 14th, as they take their first steps to determining their LBIX rosters. Due to the serpentine nature of the draft, the 1st overall pick doesn't draft again until 28th (and 29th) at the end of the second round and start of the third. Meanwhile, the 14th overall pick doubles up with the 15th overall pick, then again 30th and 31st. Every draft slot can lead to success, but planning around your spot is essential.
This off-season may see some changes in the Larkspur Bowl- new teams, expansion, contraction, or a new format are all on the table. With Orgrimmar announcing their intention to leave the league, a replacement team would plug into their spot in draft selection. Therefore draft pick selections will not occur until this Summer, as the League's format is finalized. If the league is to contract, departing teams would merely be skipped over in draft selection. If there is a move to expand, any new teams (beyond replacement teams) would select 9th and 10th, pushing selections 9-14 back by two a piece.
Right now the middle six teams have already been solidified:
The remaining four matchups will decide the first and last four picks:
WINNER SELECTS FIRST, LOSER SELECTS SECOND.
WINNER SELECTS THIRD, LOSER SELECTS FOURTH.
WINNER SELECTS ELEVENTH, LOSER SELECTS TWELFTH.
WINNER SELECTS FOURTEENTH, LOSER SELECTS THIRTEENTH.
