00:00 Intro
02:00 Can you do a quick walkthrough of what happens in the backend when you change a team total?
07:45 When I import my ownership projection and rebuild fields from ownership, does it adjust each field’s ownership based on normal factors, or does it apply my ownership projection uniformly across all fields, like giving a lotto contest the same ownership as a small-field single-entry contest?
10:45 Can you explain the difference between "Normalized Value (0-100)" and "Max Scaled Value (max 100)" when setting up a custom metric to sum up ownership?
18:29 When a contest has 10% to first and a cash percentage of 22.54%, how does SS distribute the 90% of the cash that doesn't go to 1st place during a simulation?
20:37 What does 50th, 75th, etc, actually mean, and the best way to apply it?
