WHAT ARE THE RULES?
Bob McKenzie
If 2 of 8 unknown teams win a top-three pick in the draw, countdown/flipping starts at No. 9.
If 3 of 8 unknown teams win all three top picks, well, there won’t be much of a countdown. New top three would be unknown until a second draft lottery after the play-in qualifier.
