Message: [QUOTE="Bigboote, post: 4739069, member: 7631"] The problem with the revolving drum is that it needs to contain enough balls that the odds related to the teams' records are properly represented. That would be a few hundred balls, I think. Then they'd need to remove those assigned to the team that got the first pick in order to draw the second. I assume it's done by an accounting or actuarial company offline. And also the team with the highest odds can finish no lower than third (? that's what I remember), so a drawing isn't necessary for the last two teams in that case. There's just an awful lot going on for the drawing itself to be a live-televised event. [/QUOTE]
