^^ The fact that this question must be asked, and that it's actually a good point, is proof that the improvement model should have been designed to be merit-based and not volume-based ^_^ grr

The ideal situation for minor league playoffs and player development is:

1)  No first round bye
2)  Win first round in five games
3)  Win second round in five games
4)  Win LCS in seven games
5)  Stretch WS out to seven games (winning/losing is irrelevant)

An extra 24 games (16%) of development opportunities).

well maybe the sim considers the first round bye as "active cycles" where your guys develop even without literally playing. Maybe?

I wouldn't think so.  An off day is an off day.
