From a quick glance, it looks like teams in 13-20 are fine, and those in 1-4 should be 5-8. That means going back through the playoffs to see where the rest of the teams fit in.
Appears as though there were only 2 matchups scheduled rather than 3 in the playoff period (probably because the schedule would've been copied over from previous seasons in Fantrax and not altered after the vote was passed in the offseason), but it should be easy enough to find that the teams who won both their matchups are competing for spots 1/2, those who won their first and lost their second are in for 3/4, those who lost their first and won their second would be in 9/10, and those who lost both are in for 11/12.
From there it'd be a case of either going on season-long record, or those teams' head-to-head matchups during the season to decide who has which spot.
Obviously the same order would apply for the midseason draft, too.

So having had a look at the end of last season, I think we're left with a draft of
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Fonzinoons 6. Oregon 3 Lions of Madison 7. Boca Bombers 8. Turkish Claw 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. Long Island Bashers 14. Texas Mavericks 15. Bedford Bulldogs 16. Wisconsin Beers 17. Reading Fightin Phils 18. Madison Dead Billygoats 19. Akron Rubber Ducks 20. Miami Sound Machine
The remaining 8 teams played as follows in the playoffs
Period 21
New Orleans Baby Cakes bt East Bay Rats 10-2-0 Wisconsin Loco (now Jersey Devil Dogs) bt Chicago UpDogg 8-4-0 Newcastle Red Star bt Menlo Oaks 12-0-0 Mark's Mighty Minions bt Paddy's Pub 9-3-0
So New Orleans, Wisconsin (Jersey), Newcastle and Minions go into the bracket for 1-4, the others into the 9-12
Period 22
Wisconsin Loco (now Jersey Devil Dogs) bt Mark's Mighty Minions 9-3-0 [going on the stats in the 'All Teams' tab] Newcastle Red Star bt New Orleans Baby Cakes 10-1-1 East Bay Rats bt Menlo Oaks 8-4-0 Paddy's Pub bt Chicago UpDogg 10-1-1
Meaning we have
Newcastle v Wisconsin Loco (now Jersey Devil Dogs) for picks 1/2 Mark's Mighty Minions v New Orleans Baby Cakes for picks 3/4 East Bay Rats v Paddy's Pub for picks 9/10 and Menlo Oaks v Chicago UpDogg for picks 11/12
It's now a case of how we decide who takes each spot. The most obvious ones to me would either be season-long record, or to take the result between the two sides in their regular season matchup (although if this was a tie, you'd need a tiebreaker). Another option is using the stats from the final period to count as the matchup between the two sides, which is easily enough done.
Not sure that it needs putting to a league vote, I for one would be happy for our team of commissioners to decide on whatever they think fairest.

Curious as to where we stand on this, I am making and receiving trade offers some of which include my draft pick(s). I feel it makes a difference if I am trading 1st or 2nd overall pick or 5th. Can we get some sort of feedback on this? Thanks

I'm tired of this being out there as well. First off I am making the decision to scrap this system. I know it's partly petty irritation on my part, but this complex system, to put it nicely, isn't necessary. In a league like this you need to rebuild, so to make an assumption that the teams at the bottom are inactive is foolish. If we have an owner that is inactive, no matter where they are in the standings we can come up with something to change that. Punishing those rebuilding franchises is ridiculous. The system also allows those in the secondary playoff to pick up players that could be taking from those in the real playoffs.
That said, to get things squared away I am going to have my wife flip a coin for each of these matchups. All those listed first will be heads...those listed second will be tails. I will update the draft order when done.
Again, this unnecessary system will be done away with for the upcoming season. We will go back to the standard system of worst to best draft order.
