If you are using 3yr double weight then it will be 800 AB, and if you are using 5yr double weight then it will be 1200 AB.
If you use 3yr recalc with 200 AB, for rookies and players in their final year it will only look for 400 AB because the player did not play before or after the given season.
If there are gaps in the middle of the career for a player it does not account for that. A good example of this is Hank Greenberg who missed 1942, 1943, and 1944 during WW II. If you are using 3yr recalc with 200 AB he is fine in 1941 because he has a total of 640 AB between 1940 and 1942. When the game moves to 1942 it sees he has only 67 AB between 1941 and 1943 and his ratings tank. In 1943 he has 0 AB between 1942 and 1944, so the game just holds over his previously tanked ratings from 1943. When you get to 1944, he only has 270 AB between 1943 and 1945 so he gets a new set of tanked ratings. When you get to 1945, he is fine because he has 793 AB between 1944 and 1946.

Tremendous overview, thanks. I’m in a league that uses 3-year double weight, and I have no opportunity to change it since I am just a team owner.
I might have an additional question or two as I work with your overview against my info, but one immediate question I have is about pitchers: Our league is 100 IP for starters and 25 IP for relievers. If that is based on IP across three years and the pitcher must be either a starter or a reliever, how does the game determine that?
I assume it is based on games started vs total games pitched across the 3-year period. Would it be, if it’s over 50% of games appeared in that the guy started, he’s a starter, and under 50% started, he’s a reliever? If it’s exactly 50%, which is he? Or is it some other percent or metric?
