Qualifying for Team Leader requires 2.0 Plate Appearances per Team Games

With a YTD update due out during Season 3's mid season arrival, am instituting a new rule for Team Leader designations on our stat sheets.  

--> To qualify as a team leader during a Season or in YTD percentage statistics, the following qualification has been instituted: A player needs to have 2.0 Plate Appearances (PA) per Scheduled Team Game.

This value was calculate utilizing the following formula:

MLB PAs Required for Batting Title:  3.1 per Scheduled Team Game ...

PA has been adjusted down based upon Innings Per Game and Players In Lineup... Note that am estimating and average of 10.5 batters in the lineup per game as typically, we have either 10 or 11 batting. Also, I round the final Minimum PA value down by removing .0669 from the value as ,,, well, my reasoning is given below ...

MLB = 9 Innings
Softball = 7 Innings
Adjustment = .778  ( 7 / 9 )

MLB = 9 Batters in Lineup
Softball = 10.5 Batters in Lineup (Average Est.)
Adjustment = .857  ( 9 / 10.5 )

Minimum PAs calculated as 2.0669  ( 3.1 * .778 * .857 )

The Minimum PA value is rounded down to 2.0 since I didn't want to work with decimals ;~) ...


This qualification is up for discussion with anyone who cares to debate its merits ...
