I'm fine with that with respect to the teams that don't make the playoffs. Frankly, I don't see the point of having a consolation bracket.
Likewise, I don't see a point to consolation games in the championship bracket. I'd be fine if we based the #5-8 draft spots based on regular season record of the 4 teams that made the playoffs but don't finish in the money, but in reverse order. For example, let's just give the #5 spot to the team with the worst record that made the playoffs but didn't cash. #8 would be the best record that made the playoffs without finishing in the money. There's no real risk of tanking among playoff teams, so let's not pretend that somebody should get a worse draft pick just because they made the semifinal instead of the quarterfinals.
#9 and 10 should stay as is, runner-up and champ.

This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena. ![[Image: ITgoyeg.png]](http://i.imgur.com/ITgoyeg.png)
