What I mean is I don't think you can accumulate fatigue in consecutive rounds.  You can't go above 100% so to speak.

I realize that, but I am pretty sure that you can.  It's really, really hard to go below 100% fatigue after the first round bye.

Ash, hope you read this because you gave me some advice earlier on this post regards extra minutes for playoffs.  I have a situation that does not appear to be in line with your formula.

67 West =23.4 min/game
I got first round bye = 7 games x 23.4= 163.8 extra minutes
I swept 2nd round which went 5 games total = 23.4 x 1= 23.4 premium minutes
Total premium minutes = 163.8 + 23.4= 187.2 total premium minutes allowed.

I have now finished 3 games of conf finals and West is at 97% fatigue after using 199 total minutes in 7 playoffs games.
I have only used 35 of my 187 allowed premium minutes and I am at 97% fatugue level. 

What did I misunderstand about your post?  Thank you

If you read a little further from where I posted that, you'll see that I ran into the same thing.  There's a buffer there - but it's not as big as I thought, and I'm not sure how to determine what the actual buffer is.
