Is it possible we can do the draft lottery once the season ends? Might give GM's a better Idea of what kind of trade value to put on draft picks if they know the actual draft position.
Just an Idea not sure what everyone thinks?

Just an Idea not sure what everyone thinks? I've always preferred that. Waiting until the draft is about to start takes some of the excitement out of it

That is an interesting idea that I think sounds good. Too often most of the trades are done in the offseason not knowing the true value of one's 1st round pick

I can do that. I see no problem with it... Still won't really know the value of the draft pick until the pool is released but its a little better ....

Yea I know you don't get the full value as you don't see the draft class but at least you get a better value for your pick. So if you have the #1 overall you might get more interest when trading it if the person trading for it knows it's actually the #1 overall. I don't know maybe it will create more trade talks....

In an online league in which I used to play, a similar lottery was used. Soon after the regular season was completed, I generated the results of the lottery. Knowing the results helped generate a great deal of trade chatter and off-season trades. Let's do it.

With the Olympics upon us...
What about a PBL World Baseball Classic or PBL World Cup type of tournament? In the offseason every 2 or 4 years we have GM's (anyone who wants to participate gets thrown into a hat and we do a random selection of what teams they control.)
This can be anyone in PBL or strictly a prospects tournament.
Thoughts?

That's cause you guys are REALLY good at Speed Skating. And to me the phrase "With the Olympics upon us" means they are currently going on.

I'm trying to keep a good pace going but at some point I'm going to need to take a day or two break in order to implement all the new features, get the image folder up and running, etc. I try when I sim but been so swamped lately its been hard enough to get sim done before midnight.
What's in the works: * Draft Lottery * StatsLab fix on main website * Announce Salary floor (which will go towards % of budget as opposed to set floor). * Generating new schedule * A new image folder * International Scouting * Scouting @ 100% accuracy * Really want to work on a feeder league (HS / NCAA)
