Chip Window Simulator Bid Standardization · chip window · all teams

Activates at a configurable game threshold for all teams. Starting chips are assigned by record rank across 7 tiers (140 → 20) — giving the weakest teams the most firepower. Chips are clamped at 10 minimum. Every team gets one double — declared by choosing which home game to apply it. That night both teams wager normally, but the winner earns 2× chips (double the opponent's wager). The lottery teams' final chip totals determine draft order directly: most chips = Pick 1. No lottery draw. Ties are broken by worse record. Tanking is structurally impossible.
