00:00 Intro
06:15 When I build golf showdown lineups (round 2 and round 3) over 75% have a negative sim ROI in the $1 20 max when simming against the standard field lineups. Mostly default settings. Should I expect more positive ROI lineups in my pool or just the nature of golf?
12:56 Running a Contest Sim Against Itself
21:30 Are the lineups chosen for my pool the lineups that win a sim? So, the actual best (optimal) lineup for a particular sim?
31:15 What's the best way to get one off-bats into lineups without creating a full stack for the team?
37:50 How to look at a previous slate?
45:48 When you late swap do you need to change uniques again?
47:20 What’s the best way to use min uniques for WNBA?
49:05 When creating your build for the sims are you using the contest you're playing as the primary sim or are you building a generic pool before adding your sims?
42:50 Post build when you compare the player's total pool exposure to ownership, if there is positive leverage is that actionable information?
01:02:54 What happens when SaberScore and pool exposure disagree in terms of leverage. Like you have a player that’s positive leverage in the entire pool v ownership but negative when you sort with SaberScore?
01:07:05 What is the way to play a free contest and/or satellite one?
01:12:38 Is there ever a time when you would use win % vs ROI?
