Hello!
We recently conducted a live draft lottery to determine the drafting order for the first 6 selections of the 2020 DHL EL Player Draft. After successful results last year, we kept the procedure of randomizing all 6 choices, with all entrants having flat, equal odds. So while mechanically, things were exactly the same, we did change the process thematically. Instead of the usual ping-pong ball solution, we went ahead with a digital spin-wheel, making a total of 5 spins to determine our order.
The 6 picks involved in the lottery were as follows: -Melbourne Bushrangers (by way of Penzance Pirates) -Melbourne Bushrangers -St. Roch Hawks -Minnesota 5 Holes (by way of Vegas Aces Wild) -Minnesota 5 Holes -Portland Buckaroos
The first spin determined who will select at #6, the second spin determined who will select at #5, the third spin determined who will select at #4, etc, until there were only 2 names left on the wheel. At that point, a final spin was be made, and the team landed on will be selecting 1st overall. The results were as follows:
(The first spin happens at the 6:30 mark)
A big thank you goes out to Ross (Oslo), who not only arranged the meeting and put the wheel together, but also put time aside to upload the video while undertaking a move! Thanks pal, we appreciate the hard work.
Congrats to the winner(s)!
Now that the spoiler-factor has long since passed, here's the official post-lottery order for the fist six selections:
*1. Minnesota 5 Holes (from Vegas Aces Wild) - *2. St. Roch Hawks - *3. Melbourne Bushrangers (from Penzance Pirates) - *4. Melbourne Bushrangers - *5. Portland Buckaroos - *6. Minnesota 5 Holes -
