does anyone know what the engine decides as the cut off for the game being "out of reach"? 

do most people use that setting so that back-ups get more time (when winning and losing for that matter)?

I'm not sure about the setting but someone could figure it out by checking a few 2nd half boxscores.

There are two reasons I use it for every game...1) give more time to backups;  2) reduce the chance of injury to my starters.

yeah, perhaps I am being too lazy to try and figure it out.  I agree with you Al regarding injury prevention and back-ups getting PT... but sometimes I wonder if my starting players should be in the game longer - and I can't tell if it's due to the fatigue settings or if a 10-15 point lead is considered an "out of reach game"

I think 'out of reach' is more than 10-15 points unless it's near the end of the game

I'm not sure what the right answer is - since I think margin of victory now matters in seedings......hard choice, I go back and forth
