00:00 Intro
12:26 Can you go over how to build and win in the NBA small and large slates?
13:32 Is it possible when setting up your lineup template to include a Cash lineup group with other GPPs and have the Cash lineup group build lineups using the Optimizer?
18:33 I was wondering, when I late swap, is it better to use the default settings or build 1?
25:20 If you are in a 150 max contest, when you do contest sim, should you maximize the available number of lineups or utilize 150 lineups to choose from?
27:40 Do I only need to late swap when a player gets ruled out, or do it before every game lock?
28:15 How often do Live actual projects update?
30:56 How does the program decide how many lineups to build at a certain salary range? For example, 45k-50k, ie, how many at 45k-46k, how does it decide which salary to build first?
