IP Limit Violation Tracker

[rcankosy]

I think you did not understand by what I meant by the buffer. IP limit is 65 and only 65 would be scored. I mean a buffer regarding the penalties for going over the IP limit. I for one was against such a low inning limit because no one here can predict how many innings a pitcher is going to go. Say you head into Sunday and have 40IP and three starters set to go. You could bench all your RPs and still have all three pitchers throw a combine 25 and a third innings pitched. If we were able to predict that we would all go to a betting site and become rich. Fantasy ball needs certain flexibility. The cap is set at 65 and only 65 IP would be scored, but the buffer would offer penalty flexibility for those who just go over *does not have to be to 70, it could be 68 or whatever.

I am sure many do not intend to go over the cap and do so unknowingly. i.e. It happened to me once when a couple of RPs were switched to SP and I had a busy week so I did not realize I had more starters than the usual. Almost happened last week and I barely managed to log in time to bench my starters. The penalties for going over are very harsh in my opinion, so the buffer could help those who go over without intending to do so.

I agree with you 100%.

Can someone remind me what the argument was against just saying if you exceed 65, you stop scoring points for every IP pitched from there on that week?  Why would we need a penalty for exceeding that, if we just have a hard limit and you can't really exceed it (if your team did, those statistics would just not count)?

I'm guessing this was discussed last year but I wasn't around as much and don't remember.

Hard cap doesn't work in Fantrax.

[Brewers GM]

Any chance we could get them to fix it?  Seems like a request that would benefit many leagues and not be too difficult to implement.

I requested it a couple years ago.

This is not something unique to Fantrax.  Yahoo also has a soft cap.

Really?  All my years of playing on Yahoo and I didn't realize that.
