Say, for two teams that declare COI, they're at positions 1 and 6 in that draft. If we choose the rotation that moves 1 to the 5th draft spot, then the 6th place w/ an approved COI would be in the 1st position for the draft, leaving us with the same conundrum.


Instead, I propose this as a solution:



While this does undermine our goal of rotating everyone through 1st pick, it's just one draft very infrequently and doesn't mean much in the full scale of SLFF. With as many drafts as we run, it won't cause us to deviate significantly from this intention.

This solution could prevent someone from achieving a first pick in that round which would be a big impact potentially, although i see your point with 2 teams potentially needing COI in which case i feel we combine our two ideas so:

If one team needs a COI we make the draft in which the COI is needed to be the draft that they are in the median pick position, rounded down

If >1 teams need it for a particular draft the draft is rescheduled to be the first in the rotation, the runner for that position randomizes all teams except those in need of COI. After randomizing those teams are put in median position rounded down (With 9 of us that means 5 and 6 with 8 it means 4 and 5) If three or more need it it still proceeds the same (9 people it is 4 5 and 6 with 8 it is also 4 5 and 6)
