When calculating how many Win Shares to allocate to each team's offense/defense, does Catobase look at the number of runs scored only by that one league, or by the aggregate total of both leagues?

That is, when allocating the Win Shares for the 2004 Devil Rays, will it look at the league totals for the AL only, or for both the AL and NL?

The reason I ask: my solo league has a rather wide disparity in runs scored between the two leagues. This shouldn't matter much to Win Shares, as it will just make the .260 hitter in the pitching-oriented league get, say, 15 Win Shares, where he might get only 5 in the hitting league.

But the totals I get seem to not be normalized in that way. I just wanted to double-check that they're being calculated correctly. Thanks.
