1) During the playoffs, ROSTERS WILL NOT BE LOCKED FOR PLAYOFF TEAMS. When rosters are locked during the playoffs, it's often done to prevent managers from streaming pitchers. I feel that its safe to say that streaming has not proven to be an effective strategy in this scoring system, so I do not see the need to lock the rosters of playoff teams. However, rosters will be locked for the six non-playoff teams.
2) I also wanted to take this opportunity to detail how next year's draft order will be determined. Picks 1-6 will go to the 6 non-playoff teams by means of a WEIGHTED LOTTERY based on this year's final rankings (the #12 team will be most likely to get the #1 pick). We are using a weighted lottery so that there is little incentive to "throw games" during the last week of the regular season. For picks 7-12, the playoff bracket and the consolation games will be used to determine the draft order for next year. The #7 pick will go to the winner of the consolation game between the two teams who lose in the first round of the playoffs (the #8 pick will go to the loser of that game). The #9 pick will go to the winner of the consolation game between the two teams who lose in the 2nd round (the #10 pick will go to the loser). The #11 pick, however, will go to the LOSER of the championship game and the #12 pick will go to the league champ.
