Good day, everyone.
A question about service time.

I'm running a fictional 96-game league. Minimum days for 1 year of service time currently set at 112. And I've got exactly 1 year of service time for every player who stayed in majors for full season (and less for those who actually not - there's 107 days and such). That's great.

Say I want extend season to 120 games. How many minimum days for 1 year should be set to get the same result (exactly 1 year for those who stayed for a season) under new season lenght??
There's all-star game with HR derby, and I generate schedule automatically, not manually. And, if it's crucial, there's tiebreaker games if it's tie (so, never happened yet).

If I remember it right, once I change the number there is an pop-up option to recalculate service time for players - I plan to NOT recalculate once I change it. But, my guess if I change it and set "wrong" number (and get less or more than a year at season's end), changing it again WILL require recalculating and I'll mess with whole service times through all league history.
