I have my Little League AAA draft tonight. There are 8 teams in AAA. The draft is conducted in a "serpentine" format (1-8, 8-1, 1-8, etc). Just before the draft we will draw for our draft position. For various reasons, I want to end up with a 5-8 draft position. Now I know it is all chance, but my question is should I draw from the hat first/middle/last???

Love me some Guinness

Im feel'n first...

It would seem to me that your chances of getting one of the last four spots are 1:2 regardless of when you choose. Now, if you choose to wait, and the others announce their spots, the only change would be that you could recalculate you odds of getting one of the last few spots.

uhhh... whos on first?

Lukin- I agree but I was fishing for some cool superstitions or cockeyed logic that would guide me to a certain conclusion.

Okay, try this on for size...

I asked my dalmatian what you should do ~ she cocked her head to the left...

I asked my 3 year old son ~ He said "DAAAAD let me alone!"

I asked my wife ~ she just walked away...

So, if you carefully consider all the facts, (it was dark and cold outside, the dog had just farted, I had slept all day after taking some painkillers,) you have the obvious answer!!!

What was the question?

it doesn't matter what the order it is, but whatever you do do NOT wear underwear

TW- Now that was the kind of weird superstition I was looking for. I can fell the karma already. No, that's just my nads swingin'. Anyways, I hope it works.

Light a cigar

and hope for the best

'cause the ones that YOU pick

won't get picked by the rest

devide your backyard into three sections. Pick up existing dog crap. Feed the dog a can of Rosarita Refries. This is done to speed up the process. Once he craps in the designated section, well you got your answer.

found out i'm as smart as a genius !

cause some of these responses make perfect sense!

but what about the visiting dog crapping in the yard factor?

wouldn't that throw the equation off??

but i do like Teedubbya's idea as well as long as it's not cold outside!
