2.2.5 Draft Order Error

[Owen]

Draft order is not listing properly on the Entry Draft screen.

Stanley Cup winner as last pick of round. Check.
Stanley Cup loser as second-to-last pick. Check.
Conference final losers as third- and fourth-to-last picks. Check.

However, division winners should be the next lowest block of draft picks and instead they are being mixed in with the rest of the playoff teams, which is incorrect.


Example:
In a 6-division league, Anaheim, Chicago, Montreal, Pittsburgh, Vancouver, and Washington were division winners. Chicago won the Cup over Boston and Los Angeles and Pittsburgh were Conference Final losers. This means the draft order should read:

30th pick: Chicago (Cup winner)
29th: Boston (Cup loser)
28th: Los Angeles (Conf. finalist)
27th: Pittsburgh (Conf. finalist)
26th: Anaheim (Division winner)
25th: Montreal (Division winner)
24th: Vancouver (Division winner)
23rd: Washington (Division winner)
then remaining playoff teams

However, STHS 2.2.5 is not recognizing these division winners and mixing them in with the other playoff teams, based on points. So it improperly lists the order as:
30th pick: Chicago (Cup winner)
29th: Boston (Cup loser)
28th: Los Angeles (Conf. finalist)
27th: Pittsburgh (Conf. finalist)
26th: Anaheim (66 points)
25th: Montreal (63 points)
24th: St. Louis (60 points)
23rd: Vancouver (59 points)
22nd: Toronto (57 points)
21st: Washington (57 points)

I have this error too, I had to change the order manually to have it done correctly, but it is a bug.

Send me your league file so I can check it out in the code.

Ok I actually figured it out on my own. If you change the number of divisions (or maybe division leaders?) before you start the Entry Draft in the off-season, it resets the draft order based on the new division format.

Totally true.
