Playoff rest queastion

Question...in a 12 team league, if both series end after 5 games, is there 1 rest day or 3?

Thanks

Beware though. There is a glitch in the system. The rest days don't work for relievers. If your reliever would have NOT been available for game 6, he will NOT be available for finals game 1.

Been playing this for many years but was not aware of that playoff reliever glitch.
Yet another example of the potential disadvantage one could be under if not a participant on the boards. Or at least a lurker.

How has that glitch not been fixed yet. sad.

Well, I don't write to SOM service anymore, too bored of not getting answers, but if you want to do it, please do.

Here is the latest example I had in 2000 leagues (the same happens in ATG)

Wade Davis pitches in game 4 semi-finals: 3 strong innings

Wade Davis pitches in game 5 semi-finals: 3 strong innings

My team has game 6 and game 7 to rest.

Wade Davis is no where to be found in a game I badly needed him in Finals game 1

An example in ATG: Bruce Setter is not called in Finals game 1 for middle relief where he was set, after pitching game 6 and game 7

I agree that the reliever "bug" needs to be fixed but a much bigger issue is the "super reliever" problem. During your regular season, Sutter pitched 245 relief innings, garnering 26 wins. That's just stupid.

Not picking on you - playing the sim is what successful managers do; it's just a bit more unrealistic than worrying about a relief pitcher missing a game.
