To "inhibit" tanking by teams, we will implement a draft lottery system, in effect for NFL, NHL, and NBA in the 2016-17 season. There will be no lottery for the MLB
Six playoff teams will pick in reverse order of their finish from pick 5-10 regardless of their record. If the 5th seeded team wins the league that year, they will STILL pick 12th in the offseason rookie draft regardless of their record.
The six teams that missed the playoffs will be put into the draft lottery and will predominantly receive a certain number of lottery "chances" based on their REGULAR SEASON finish (1500 total chances), and will additionally receive lottery chances based on their finish in the consolation bracket which takes place during the league playoffs (500 total chances).
The number of chances based off regular season finishes
12th: 600 (40%)
11th: 400 (26.67%)
10th: 200 (13.33%)
9th: 150 (10%)
8th: 100 (6.67%)
7th: 50 (3.33%)
In addition to the regular season chances, remaining competitive in the consolation bracket will also provide lottery chances. The number of ADDITIONAL chances based off of consolation bracket (ConB) finish:
1st in ConB: 200 (40%)
2nd in ConB: 125 (25%)
3rd in ConB: 100 (20%)
4th in ConB: 50 (10%)
5th in ConB: 25 (5%)
6th in ConB: 0 (0%)
This brings the total number of lottery chances up to 2000 (1500 for regular season, 500 for consolation bracket)
The highest possible chance at the #1 overall pick is 600+200=800 (40%)
The lowest possible chance at the #1 overall pick is 50+0=50 (2.5%)
(outdated as of 2018, 12-team expansion)
The four teams that missed the playoffs will be put into the draft lottery and will predominantly receive a certain number of lottery "chances" based on their REGULAR SEASON finish (750 total chances), and will additionally receive lottery chances based on their finish in the consolation bracket which takes place during the league playoffs (250 total chances).
The number of chances based off of regular season finishes:
10th: 400 (53.33%)
9th: 200 (26.67%)
8th: 100 (13.33%)
7th: 50 (6.67%)

1st in ConB: 125 (50%)
2nd in ConB: 75 (30%)
3rd in ConB: 50 (20%)
4th in ConB: 0 (0%)
This brings the total number of lottery chances up to 1000 (750 for regular season, 250 for consolation bracket)
The highest possible chance at the #1 overall pick is 400+125=525 (52.5%)
The lowest possible chance at the #1 overall pick is 50+0=50 (5%)
