110M Q&A

Q: Can we have multiple players from a single team?
A: Yes, there is no limit to the amount of players you can have from one single team as long as you have the same number of players from that team on your Round 2 team.

Q: Can we use the same player in both rounds if we also use one of their teammates?
A: No, you can only use each player once. If you use 1927 Babe Ruth and 1927 Lou Gehrig in Round 1, you have to use two different player-seasons from the 1927 Yankees in Round 2 and cannot use either of them again.

Q: Do we need to use the same stadium in both rounds?
A: No

Q: What happens in there is a salary update between now and Round 2?
A: I am chatting with Admin about this. You should be building both teams simultaneously. I will verify both at the same time. This will prevent any issues with Round 2.

Variable Cap Q&A

Q: Are you rounding teams' HR/9 to two decimal places?
A: Yes

Q: Are you prorating all pitchers to 162 games before calculating a team's HR/9?
A: Yes

For the variable cap, does the 2M kick in at any number above (for example) 0.10? So 0.11? I assume you're only going to two digits, but I'm not sure how you'll be doing calculations.

That first one is really cool. Nice one, justinlee_24.

Q: 70M theme:

I assume the aggregate AVG and OAV stats that are being compared comes from the team center (so scrubs' totals count in the stats). But pitchers batting stat does not count.
