John,

As I made mention in my email to you, the way I counted my pre-random draft pick number (before Friday, when there were no numbers, just names of teams) is by manually counting down through the list. I made note of my team's unofficial position in each draft week's ago, not on Friday.

After the draft was run on Friday, my position on all 4 of my teams stayed the same (as if the computer just put numbers next to each team's name, but did not shuffle them).

Just throwing it out there that maybe something due to the contraction made the computer assign the draft pick positions in the order they were listed on the webpage. This isn't 3-card monty or the shell game as some suggested. 20 teams were supposed to be reshuffled, in 4 of my leagues, yet my assigned draft slot happens to be the number that my team was positioned before the numbers appeared on that page. I don't think that's random chance, especially when it's repeated 4 times. The odds of that have to be absolutely huge (unlike 1:3 as referred to with the "shell game"...which is not a good analogy).

Again, it's not just me that has noticed this...ask other's who have confirmed the same exact thing in some of these leagues (ie. Brian B).
