Question about DNHL rounding on contract calculations. Standard rounding (.5 and above round up ie. 4.2 = 4), any fraction round up (ie. 4.2 = 5) or just drop the fraction all-together ( 4.6 = 4)? It's confusing as f**ck in Backyard as there's a couple different approaches depending on the type of contract.

Don't we round to the nearest 0.1 in here.... Not sure what's confusing about BY, never been there.

But if it's like 1.667, it would be $1.7m
If it's 1.343, it would just be $1.3m

Not sure if that answered what you're looking for... Probably not though, as the above logic seems pretty straight forward and maybe it's a more complex issue you're looking at Slack?

Standard rounding then, thanks! In Backyard they round up for any fractions on free-agent contracts (1.343 = 1.4) but normally for extension discounts. Gets me every time.

Standard rounding... As in the right way to round decimals as far back as I can remember I leaned in elementary school?
As far as I remember, 1.11 and 1.19 are pretty different and shouldn’t both round to 1.2 haha.

I can see how any other way to do it would be super confusing!

Yes standard for sure.

In many leagues everything is rounded up, never down. Not here, we round down too!

Just curious what the settings are on Fantrax for setting lines.

I'm assuming that once the first game of the day is played, no more roster changes can be made?

I went to throw in Kinkaid for Schneider at 6:54pm EST, but the rosters were locked. Game time starts at 7pm EST.

Not a big deal, my dumb mistake for not looking sooner (work) but just wanted to see what the settings are.
I know on Yahoo I can change players right up until 6:59pm, or 9:59pm if it's a West coast came.

I hope to hell the Kinkaid non-start tonight isn't the deciding factor. Unlikely the way my skaters have been laying eggs so far

Line up changes are locked 5 minutes before each players game starts

Will there be a list of available players for the supplemental draft
