Postscript - This is pretty nerdy. So be it.

We changed our draft this year from snake to straight format. There were two notions:

1. We wanted to give the lower ranked teams a greater advantage in the draft

2. No "real" sport uses a snake draft
   

The impact of this change... the correlation between a team's draft position and its final regular season position in the standings was (crazy) close to 0. This means that a team's position in the draft had no impact on a team's record during the regular season.

Here's the raw spreadsheet data, for grins: correlation.csv

Bottom line: The draft order change was a great success.

thanks... yow, bill
