The "20%" as you know, means 20% of the games - but does NOT necessarily mean "every fifth game". Fatigue, injuries, and the interrelationships of players who back up more than one positon can all effect this when looked at for a short number of games.
What?!

It doesn't mean that he will start every X(whatever %) game it means that over the course of the season he will start "roughly" that percentage of the teams games.
What?!!

I can't believe this. Look at this thread:

...which Henry at least shouldn't have to do, because he participated in it.

I DID test out the charts on my own back then, and that was part of my complaint - that it was left to us to beta test a new feature. One of the official testers (Kurtis) then verified my results. Markus then told us that he was fixing the problem, and later told us that he had.

Another running complaint of mine is exactly the view that you're putting forward, Steve - that all that matters is the total year numbers. That's not what matters to onliners at all - we care about what happens within a week or two. I personally would prefer a simple percentage system versus the "exactly every fifth day" system, but we have been told very clearly that a 20% sub will start every fifth day, period. In online leagues, we need to know if that's true.

Given what was said in that last long thread, it was completely inappropriate for you to jump on BillyBuck for his observation, Steve.
