Copied a lot from the SLT2025/1984 setup.
Tourney ORG Reminder: Use a different org file for each tournament round (quarters, semis, finals). For ease of managing and following usage rules. (This one is for Keith).
Tournament Rotation Reminder: SLT starters can start a tournament game on 3 days rest. Each series in a round starts on the same day, and there is one day of rest after the end of longest previous series. So if three quarterfinals series go 4, 5, and 6 games, the day of rest is Day 7, and the next round starts on Day 8. Each of the advancing teams would have 3, 2, and 1 day of rest.

General Player Usage: 30% and 45% for 48 game season 48 games: The old 100% rule (Position Player Games, Reliever Games, CF Games, Relief Games) changes to: 48g / 162 = .296296296296 so we round that up to 30% example: player who played 154 MLB games can play 46 SLT games. The old 150% rule (PA, SBA, relief IP, starting IP) changes to: (48g*1.5) / 162 = .444444444 so round that up to 45% example: player with 68 MLB SBA gets 31 SLT SBA.
