roadrash listed the first 12 last week in a thread somewhere, but who knows if its right or not, most likely pretty close if not.

anyways, draft order is not available until after the season.

Edit: This order is not correct and has been removed.

No guarantees.

One thing should be noted. FOF doesn't follow the NFL rules in regards to where playoff teams draft. It doesn't depend on record, but when you lose in the playoffs.

Edit: This is not entirely true. Read a number of posts down for more info.

That's why my list stoped at 12. . then playoff teams came into the mix and it was getting complicated

BTW --- Lansing sucks.

crap I should of tanked then I would of went from having to pick at #17 to #7... :P

After doing a little research I've determined that the order I listed above is incorrect.

These two FOFC threads goofed me up. It seems that playoff teams used to draft in the order that they were knocked out of the playoffs, but after one of the patches this was fixed and now the order is determined in a fashion more similar to the NFL.

BUT as it is pointed out in the thread below, FOF does not break ties in the draft order the same way the NFL does (Strength of Schedule).

This is how the draft order is determined:

It puts the championship game participants at 31 and 32, and sorts the rest according to the same criteria used for breaking divisional and conference ties.

And this is what the 2004 first round draft order will look like with 100% certainty:

 1. Oakland
 2. Little Rock
 3. Houston
 4. Pittsburgh
 5. Burlington
 6. Lansing (from Wichita)
 7. Lawrence
 8. Texas
 9. Newark
10. Boston
11. Iowa City
12. Montreal
13. Murfreesboro
14. Fresno
15. Norfolk
16. Albuquerque
17. Anchorage
18. Tulsa
19. Louisiana
20. St. Louis
21. Columbia
22. Fargo
23. Hartford
24. Portland
25. Vancouver
26. Wichita (from Lansing)
27. St. Louis (from Salt Lake City)
28. Reno
29. West Virginia
30. Madison
31. Cleveland/Orlando (IFL Bowl loser)
32. Cleveland/Orlando (IFL Bowl champ)

I'm sorry for any confusion/disappointment this may have caused. I'm kind of surprised no one else noticed my error. Doesn't anyone here play solo careers?

When you only win the championship, you just assume you pick at 32! :P

No disappointment here!!!! Wow! I can't believe I pick first of all the 7-9 teams!

Thank you VERY much for this info.

How much time do you put towards FOF??? I haven't even thought about playing a solo career since joining the IFL. I can barely find enough time for the IFL with working, lifting, sleeping, the NFL on Sunday and Monday night and going out once in a while.
