I feel like the libero pool this season is pretty deep. I think everyone will have a really quality starter

Has the #1 draft pick team ever won it all? Or been on the podium? BuckysHeat was the only top draft pick to ever finish on the podium back in 2017. Every year there was always someone on the top half and bottom half of the drafting order on the podium which is good to know there is no true advantage to which pick you have. But I guess we do have a curse for whoever has the 3rd or 13th pick as they have never placed on the podium 2023 1st: eazy (2nd) 2nd: uofagrad (6th) 3rd: vballfreak808 (10th)
2022 1st: ay2013 (8th) 2nd: avid2.0 (10th) 3rd: trojansc (5th)
2021 1st: trojansc (4th) 2nd: Kingsley (6th) 3rd: huskerpower (9th)
2020 1st: eazy (6th) 2nd: trojansc (12th) 3rd: madden54 (4th)
2019 1st: trojansc (11th) 2nd: Hawk Attack (4th) 3rd: Fight On! (2nd)
2018 1st: BuckysHeat (12th) 2nd: shhhhhhhhh (14th) 3rd: vballfreak808 (6th)
2017 1st: ay2013 (2nd) 2nd: vballfreak808 (9th) 3rd: BuckysHeat (1st)
2016 1st: vballfreak808 (4th) 2nd: n00b (14th) 3rd: trojansc (7th)

But I guess we do have a curse for whoever has the 3rd or 13th pick as they have never placed on the podium We all know that the 1st few rounds almost never determine the standings, but I do think that the biggest variable is the rules. We've played with a large range of rules that really do materially impact the standings. totals v. per match v. per set H2H v. points substitution rules player position rules heck even add/drop rules. I distinctly remember that year when shhhhh admined and we got 10 add/drops FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON post draft. That same year of the 4 top OH's I drafted, one went out post draft with a season ending injury, and the other was hobbled all year, and my #1 setter went to a 6-2.... all before the first match was even played.

Top 5 Draft Picks, by year No surprise to no liberos being top five but a little shocked a setter hasn't been drafted top five since the first year.
