I proposed this rule change last year:

> [@He Hate Me FF Keeper League - Year 14](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/he-hate-me-ff-keeper-league-year-14/762435/2):
>
> 1. Currently, our league gives the #1-#4 draft slots to the consolation bracket. The original idea here was to make the consolation bracket meaningful to give people something fun to play for after they missed the playoffs. But here’s what I don’t think makes sense: I’m okay with giving the winner of the consolation bowl the #1 pick, to provide that reward factor, but why should the losers of the consolation bowl get picks #2-4? The reverse order of finishing to start the draft is a parity mechanism - the teams that finished at the bottom are unlikely to have good keepers - and we throw a wrench into it for no reason by giving the consolation bowl losers the top pick.
> 
> So my proposal is that the consolation bowl winner still gets the #1 pick, but everyone else is seeded in reverse order of standings.

And it passed 7-1. So it’s just the winner that gets the #1 pick, everything else is reverse order of standings.
