[IBL] Starters fatigue in BF system

[Noel Steere]

>> I've seen a number of BFs for starters above what any starter BF ratings (34, 40+) with no mention of fatigue.  The way I understand the rule, you *can* go 2 times the BF number, but all batters after BF are as a fatigued pitcher.

I should have clarified that this was in GRS reports of games.  In other words, the starting pitcher faced 34 batters in one game, and in another 40+ batters, but no mention was made that said pitcher had ever fatigued.  So they were past their BF SP Fatigue number, but under their 2x BF Rest number (the maximum allowed in order to only rest 3 days, albeit at a -8 BF fatigue penalty)

So all batters after their Starter BF fatigue rating should have been as a fatigued pitcher, correct?

Thanks,

Noel
