The real life rules scale down the bonuses through the first ten rounds of the draft (and the full draft is 50 rounds). Amateur drafts in OOTP can be less than ten rounds—so how then should the bonus values be scaled? Use the MLB system regardless of how many rounds are used in OOTP and just cut off the bonus at whatever is the last round? Or should the ten-round MLB system be compressed to fit within the number of OOTP rounds, i.e. what is the bonus value in MLB's round 10 would be in OOTP's round 7?

Also, how should the slot values progress if there are fewer or more teams in the OOTP league as compared to MLB? Should the MLB bonus progression be used regardless of how many picks per round there are in the OOTP league? Or should the bonus progression be compressed or expanded to fit within the shorter or longer OOTP round?
