Competitive Balance Round A
Teams that have either one of the 10 smallest markets or 10 smallest revenue pools get another pick at the end of the first or second round. In 2017, six picks were assigned between the first and second rounds based on a formula that considers winning percentage and revenue. The other eight eligible teams received a supplemental selection between the second and third rounds. The groups of teams alternate between the two rounds each year. In 2018, there were eight Comp Round A picks and six in Round B. In 2019, there were six Comp Round A picks and eight in Round B.
