These are results compiled by draft order per season with regard to post season performance.&nbsp; 12 team seasons are set aside along with the premier season, but still considered in the 8 team overall average.&nbsp; These were collected using standard tie breaking procedures and giving priority to post season performance.&nbsp; If teams had identical post season records (for example, they both lost first round wildcard) and had identical records, standard IDL tiebreaking was used to determine position.&nbsp; The only anomaly existed with BSK, as they outperformed BBC one season, but forfeit IDL and their playoff position, thus they were ranked 7th.<br /><br />Premier Season Draft Outcomes<br />1st Draft: 1 = 1<br />2nd Draft: 7 = 7<br />3rd Draft: 5 = 5<br />4th Draft: 2 = 2<br />5th Draft: 6 = 6<br />6th Draft: 3 = 3<br />7th Draft: 4 = 4<br />8th Draft: 8 = 8<br /><br />12 Teams Draft Outcomes<br />1st Draft: 5, 5, 5 = 5<br />2nd Draft: 2, 9, 8 = 6.3333<br />3rd Draft: 7, 8, 1 = 5.3333<br />4th Draft: 8, 3, 10 = 7<br />5th Draft: 9, 1, 4 = 4.6667<br />6th Draft: 3, 10, 3 = 5.3333<br />7th Draft: 4, 4, 9 = 5.6667<br />8th Draft: 6, 6, 2 = 4.6667<br />9th Draft: 1, 11, 11 = 7.6667<br />10th Draft: 12, 2,12 = 8.6667<br />11th Draft: 11, 12, 7 = 10<br />12th Draft: 10, 7, 6 = 7.6667<br /><br />Premier + Franchise Era + Post Franchise Era Draft Outcomes<br />1st Draft: 1, 7, 8, 2, 2 = 4<br />2nd Draft: 7, 6, 4, 3, 8 = 5.6<br />3rd Draft: 5, 5, 5, 6, 6 = 5.4<br />4th Draft: 2, 2, 2, 4, 1 = 2.2<br />5th Draft: 6, 3, 3, 8, 3 = 4.6<br />6th Draft: 3, 8, 7, 7, 5 = 6<br />7th Draft: 4, 4, 6, 5, 7 = 5.2<br />8th Draft: 8, 1, 1, 1, 4 = 3<br /><br />Franchise Era + Post Franchise Era Draft Outcomes<br />1st Draft: 7, 8, 2, 2 = 4.76<br />2nd Draft: 6, 4, 3, 8 = 5.25<br />3rd Draft: 5, 5, 6, 6 = 5.5<br />4th Draft: 2, 2, 4, 1 = 2.25<br />5th Draft: 3, 3, 8, 3 = 4.25<br />6th Draft: 8, 7, 7, 5 = 6.75<br />7th Draft: 4, 6, 5, 7 = 5.5<br />8th Draft: 1, 1, 1, 4 = 1.75<br /><br />There are obviously a ton of factors from the outside influencing these overall rankings and these stats mean little at best.&nbsp; It is interesting to note, that draft positions in a 12 team setup over 3 seasons averaged an outcome that at most deviated 5.3333 final standing positions apart whereas in the franchise season over 4 seasons, the draft positions averaged an outcome that at most deviated 5 final standing positions apart.&nbsp; If we discard the obvious outlier in 8th draft pick, the standings still deviate at least 4.25 (if BSK loses) and at most 4.5 (if BSK wins) positions apart.<br /><br />It is worth noting, that a middle position has NEVER won a Masterbowl outside of the 12 team system, interesting to see if this trend continues.&nbsp; Other interesting trends are noticeable as well, 1st pick has never done better than 5th in the 12 team system, while 3rd pick in the 8 team system has always made wildcard but never beyond that.&nbsp; If EBL wins the Masterbowl, this would make 1st, 4th, 5th, and 8th, the most productive average draft spots in our 8 team system.&nbsp; Premier season records also suggest this to be the case.&nbsp; 6th draft pick is by far the worst, having only made playoffs a single time in the franchise system and only twice ever including the Premier season, while every other team has made at least one more playoff appearance.<br /><br />All in all, this data is likely highly misleading as the sample size is not nearly large enough to produce reliable trends that are resistant to significant external variables.&nbsp; I do find it quite entertaining and hope that others will enjoy it as well.&nbsp; Good luck to the captain of BBC next season, you will have the dreaded 6th position if the move to 12 teams is not completed.&nbsp; I may attempt to analyze this further, but there is little more to be gained so have fun!
