I can see how the 140M could have been misread if you haven't played many "box" themes. The implied but unstated rule is that you only use the selected decades, but you are right that it's not specified precisely. That said, since you have spent at least $120M of your $140M in your decades, it shouldn't be too difficult to replace any players from the small group you used from other decades.
As for 300K exception, I've always understood this to mean that whatever other restrictions a theme requires, a player under $300K may fall outside them. I don't see different scenarios there, though.
"it shouldn't be too difficult to replace any players from the small group you used from other decades."
True. Most of the heavy lifting is done. I am able to fix this problem with not too many headaches, I 'm sure.
"As for 300K exception, I've always understood this to mean that whatever other restrictions a theme requires, a player under $300K may fall outside them. I don't see different scenarios there, though."
If I only had to worry about 40m from each 3 decade, and whatever I wanted outside that ( like I thought at first & for a long while ), then a 300k exception could be taken to mean players that are applying to the 40m from each decade pool, and not the rest of the remaining pool.
Maybe I am not thinking about it correctly, but that sort of ultra specific scenario I just painted, pops to mind as a purely hypothetical one at this point.
Another thing you said correctly, this is my 1st "box" theme.
