Copied a lot from the SLT2022/1987 setup.
Tourney ORG Procedural Change: 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 Clarification: 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 next round starts on Day 8, with the advancing teams having 3, 2, and 1 day of rest.
Relief Usage Returns To Normal: Reliever usage in regular innings is again capped at 2 IP, rescinding the 1955 temporary rule change to allow 3 IP.

General Player Usage: 48 games: The old 100% rule 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 (SBA, IP, GS) changes to: (48g*1.5) / 162 = .444444444 so round that up to 45% example: player with 68 MLB SBA gets 31 SLT SBA. 30% and 45% for 48 game season
