Chai League — The Value Board

LVAB (Lock-In Value Above Baseline), two ways. Baseline: – (–)

How LVAB works: LVAB = max(0, player value − baseline). The baseline is the value of the 96th-ranked player in the league (12 teams × 8 starters) — the last starting slot. Anyone at or below it scores 0.

Current model values a player by his projected points per game (9cat.app projections, forecast dated Oct 14, 2026 — the same data as the original board). Weekly-best model keeps the identical formula and baseline method, but values a player by his weekly-best average — his best game of each week, last season, in Chai League scoring — because in Lock-In format only one game per week counts: the best one.

Honest limits: weekly-best values come from last season's game logs, so they describe established level, not this season's form. Players with no last-season logs (rookies, and players who missed the season) show “no data” in the weekly-best tab instead of an invented number. Team score = the 8 starters' inputs summed, as on the original board.
