Certainly seems in sync with any trades we have completed for draft picks to date.

To all:
We discussed draft order in detail last season AND the season before in the forum and came to a conclusion how the FWL would adopt NFL-rules (with one  exception). Here is the link once again:
http://fwl.pocketplane.net/index.php?topic=336.msg2478#msg2478

We (FWL) always applied that principle that WC-losers pick ahead of WC-winners and it is - as far as i understand it now - an exeption 
 of adopting NFL-rules.

NFL-rules would do do this......

1. The Super Bowl winner (Austria) is last and the Super Bowl loser San Antonio) next-to-last.
2. but the rest is based on the W/L-record, just as David (Mon) stated in the old discussion in the thread above.


....and here is the NFL-tiebreaker in case of identical W/L-records.....

2. Any non-Super Bowl playoff club involved in a tie 
 shall be assigned priority within its segment below that of non-playoff clubs and in the order that the playoff clubs exited from the playoffs.  Thus, within a tied segment a playoff club that loses in the Wild-Card game will have priority over a playoff club that loses in the Divisional playoff game, which in turn will have priority over a club that loses in the Conference Championship game. If two tied clubs exited the playoffs in the same round, the tie is broken by strength of schedule.

If any ties cannot be broken by strength of schedule, the divisional or conference tie breakers, whichever are applicable, are applied. Any ties that still exist are broken by a coin flip.

So using our exeption-rule  the draft order among Playoff-teams is

#18 Scottish (Bowl)
#17 Montreal (Runner-up)
===========
#16 Amsterdam (11-3)
#15 New York (8-6)
============
#14 Austria (10-3-1)
#13 Raleigh (9-5)
#12 San Antonio (8-6)
#11 Frankfurt (8-5-1)
============
Rest according to W/L (and in case of a tie Strengh of schedule......)
#10 Birmingham (7-7)
#9 Sacramento (6-8)  with Sos 66-74
#8 Mexico (6-8) with Sos 79-75
#7 London (5-8-1)
#6 Barcelona (5-9)
#5 Ohio (4-10) with Sos 74-64
#4 Orlando (4-10) with Sos 75-65
#3 Paris (4-10) with Sos 79-61
#2 Berlin (3-10-1)
#1 Rhein (3-11)

Just to compare: If we would NOT   
 use this exepton it would be:

#18 Scottish (Bowl)
#17 Montreal (Runner-up)
===========
#16 Amsterdam (11-3)
#15 Austria (10-3-1)
#14 Raleigh (9-5)
#13 New York (8-6) with Sos 59-81
#12 San Antonio (8-6) with SoS 79-75
#11 Frankfurt (8-5-1)
and the Rest just like above....
============

Hope everything is clear now....
