11/16 is a Friday

[ex-Pittsburgh Pirates]

I've got a masters degree in engineering and I can't figure out how this lottery thing is supposed to work.

But I trust y'all.

[jnaz2008]

Its like random sampling in statistics, each of us get a number 01 through 14 when the numbers for the pick 3 or 4 come up, say it's 0413 then Detroit gets the first and Milwaukee gets the second. If there is a numbers that is not between 01 and 14 then we skip it so say again in the pick 4 the numbers are 0954, then Baltimore would get the third pick and we would skip the 54 since there is not 54 teams in the league, if a number is dublicated like if the next day 04 is used again then we skip that as well. We do it until all the people have their picks. I hope this helps and I also hope this is right, it is atleast how I interpret it goes.

[bostonredsox]

Thanks for the explanation,confusing but I am fine with it.........

Nope, not exactly.

We would use the illinois lottery. for the 1st choice we'd use the pick 3 game. 000 and any number greater than 994 cant be used. If one of those appears we'll wait for the next pick 3 game. they run it twice per day.
once the 1st choice is known we'll use the next picks of the
pick 4 game. we'll use pick 4 games for the remainder of picks. the pick 4 number would be split into (2) 2-digit numbers. as shown 0798 becomes 07 & 98. the number 00 is just wasted.

Mon, Nov 5 2007 is 8-4-6
Mon, Nov 5 2007 is 0-7-9-8


The order was copied from roster page.
for 1st choice use pick 3 #846 and count down and around 846 times
Tex would receive 1st choice

[Admin]

[dodgers]

Why do you go though all this?
Why dont you go by the final standings like the rest of the world
Last place team goes first???
First place team goes last...
