Draft order, settled on the field

This is the official 2026 draft order, decided once, for everyone. Twelve managers, one hundred yards, one pre-recorded race — the same broadcast on every phone in the league, whether you watch it tonight or in March. Nothing to configure, nothing to argue with. Press the button and watch what already happened.

Why this isn't rigged

01

There is one result, ever

No seed box, no odds settings, no editable roster, no re-rolls. The button doesn't draw a new order — it replays the one official draw. Watch it forty times, watch it on twelve different phones, it ends the same way every time, which is the entire point of a draft order.

02

Nobody picked the number — the league's history did

The race is seeded by a hash of our complete eight-season record — every win, loss and point of all twelve managers, 2018 through 2025, boiled down to one code: D9EB3D9C2232F. I didn't choose that number. Ryan going 2-10 in 2018 chose it. Jack's 922-point season chose it. Every device replays the identical race from that seed, so what you watch is what everyone watches.

03

One exception, stated out loud — and backed by math

Every manager carries a weight of exactly 1.00, except Klysh, who carries 1.04 — roughly double everyone else's shot at the first pick. Why him? Because the Pythagorean numbers in the record book say he's the unluckiest manager in league history: across eight seasons his points earned about 7 more wins than the schedule ever paid him. This isn't charity, it's a refund. Published, in writing, before the race.

04

The page checks its own seal

On every load, this page re-hashes the history file and compares it to the sealed code. If anyone — including me — edits so much as one point of one season, the hash breaks, the race changes, and the page announces in writing that the draw is no longer official. The audit below also re-simulates ten thousand alternate draws on your device so you can see the odds this one was pulled from.

−0.002

And here's the part that should settle it. Across eight seasons, the correlation between a manager's average draft slot and their all-time win percentage is −0.002. That is zero. Not "small" — zero.

Ryan has the second-best average draft position in league history and sits eleventh all-time. Jack has the worst average draft position in league history and sits sixth. Andre has the best draft slot anyone's ever had and owns one ring.

Rigging this would be a lot of effort to hand somebody an advantage that eight years of our own data says does not exist.
