5th - Milwaukee Bricks
This is the 2nd big announcement of the day. This means that a 2nd team, Floor Burns has defied odds, and has entered the top 3 in the lottery. And perhaps just as importantly, this also means that of the two lowest finishers, Phatsnapper and Love T'Wolves, only one of them will be selecting in the top 3.
4th - Love T'Wolves
The 10th place Love T'Wolves get a bit unlucky and fall to the 4th pick.
3rd - Phatsnapper
The last place Phatsnappers fall two slots, and end up with the 3rd pick in the 2009 UPL Basketball draft. This leaves the two teams who defied the lottery odds: the 4th place IAmJabrone, who had approximately a 11.8% chance of selecting in the top 2, and Floor Burns, who were about twice as likely to select in the top 2, at 22.8%.
...with out further ado.
2nd - Floor Burns
This means that the first pick in the 2009 UPL Baskeball draft belongs to:
1st - IAmJabrone
Amazing. Despite having only a 6.06% chance, IAmJabrone's string of good fortune continues, as they land the top pick in the draft.
SOME LOTTERY INFO
The password for the .pdf file that I sent to everyone is:
hullabaloo
That should unlock the file so any external audits can be done. The specific numbers used in the lottery are as follows:
| Order | Westy | C-Lauff | OD | Jeff | Lotto Ticket | Team |
| 1 | 7 | 1 | 5 | 3 | 7153 | IAmJabrone |
| omit | 1 | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1692 | IAmJabrone |
| 2 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 3 | 1153 | Floor Burns |
| 3 | 2 | 5 | 0 | 4 | 2504 | Phatsnapper |
| 7 | 2 | 5 | 4 | 7254 | Sparty |
Interestingly, after IAmJabrone received the 2nd pick, they actually won the lottery again, and had the 2nd number selected, which is a 0.367% event. Apparently the UPL Gods were smiling on the Jabrones quite a bit. And just for giggles, the 4th lottery slot would have gone to Sparty had we done more lottery-assigned slots. Also, with regard to the 30 numbers generated by Westy, C-Lauff, OD, and Jeff, none of them were assigned to either of last year's co-champions, the O.N. Thugs and European Sellouts. So, despite Greg's hope, there was no controversy to be had with an O.N. Thugs #1 draft pick.
In any case, it's time to start figuring out who everyone's keeping. The draft is on Saturday, Oct. 24 at 10:30am, and keepers are due one week before the draft, preferably earlier.
Best of luck in the upcoming season.
IAmJabrone is now on the clock.
