9.A.  Overuse Penalty Adjustments

	
	1. For the First Round of the Rookie Draft, overuse penalties will be applied as follows:

		a) For each FIVE (5) plate appearances of overuse per non-bonus batter, a team will have one (1) game added to his team’s 
		   final victory total.
		   
		b) For EACH non-bonus pitcher start overuse, a team will have two (2) games added to his team’s final victory total.
		
		c) For EACH non-bonus pitcher relief appearance overuse, a team will have one (1) game added to his team’s final 
		   victory total.
		
		d) For any bonus player or pitcher overuse, the penalty will be calculated at 50% of the above rate.
		
		e) Adjusted wins will then determine the top four lottery teams (provided they were not in the lottery
		   the previous season.)
