Ever wish CSFBL had a cheat sheet? Some place you could go for advice on how to evaluate players or build a winning team? Maybe you’re thinking about making some major changes to your roster and aren’t sure how to go about it. Well you’re in luck, because all of that and more is explained in the new 'How To' pages.

The way to think about this chart is that the sim is going to read it from left to right in order to make substitutions for any particular position. If the player in column 1 is tired and unavailable, the sim will try to use the guy in column 2 unless he's already playing elsewhere or tired himself. So this is a list of descending checks for the sim to do in order to try to create a legal lineup when guys are tired.
Setting up your depth chart can be a little tricky, so here are some suggestions.
The key here is that it must be three unique players in any one row. No duplicates.
Here's an example of a legal depth chart that has some logic behind it:
[table] Pos. | Player 1 | Player 2 | Player 3
DH | 1 | 10 | 11
C | 2 | 12 | 10
1B | 3 | 10 | 11
2B | 4 | 13 | 14
3B | 5 | 14 | 13
SS | 6 | 13 | 14
LF | 7 | 10 | 11
CF | 8 | 14 | 13
RF | 9 | 10 | 11 [/table]RF | 9 | 10 | 11
Remember: duplicates in a column are fine. DUPLICATES IN A ROW ARE NOT FINE.
