Overview

For any league, the system must know how many players are expected to be in each box, or else the automation systems cannot now how to move players up and down during the league processing.

There are two ways to handle box sizes, but the key feature is the Default Players Per Box (DPPB) value.

Fixed Box Sizes

The most common system is to have an overall DPPB value that is applied to every box in the league, and this is by far the easiest system to run and process. Where the total number of players do not divide exactly into the number of boxes used, the bottom boxes are adjusted.

This is the default setting and is used where the Individual Box Sizes value on the league setup page is left unticked.

For more details see Fixed Box Sizes.

Flexible Box Sizes

If you want the flexibility of having different numbers of players in the boxes, then you can set the size of each box independently. However, the DPPB value still applies as the maximum number of players per box.

To use flexible box sizes, the Individual Box Sizes value on the league setup page should be ticked.
