1. We don't know, and admin won't tell us.
2. Two Hamsters run in two separate wheels. The first one to get tired loses.
I am not trying to be flippant, but understand that the questions you ask are valid however we get NO help from admin here. We get no response, we get no service. We are the bastard step-child of What if Sports. They hate us here, or at least that is what is seems.
The main reason we are still here is that we love the NBA and the idea of this sim more than we hate seble (the guy who runs this part of the sim), but our disdain for him grows everyday. Eventually our misgivings for him will increase to the point of exodus from the sim as it has for many, many others.
