What are the relief pitcher qualifiers?

On the stats page of OOTP, you can select "Qualified Relievers". For starters, it's a minimum of 1 IP per game team has played. What about for relievers? Thanks.

Edit: the manual says 1 IP/team game for relievers too, which is clearly incorrect. As in, that's not the algorithm the game uses.

I am trying to find that answer, too. I don't have the correct number for you, but I play an 84-game season, and the fewest number of innings I've seen qualify so far is 29 IP. So, if 28 IP is one-third of the required 1 IP/game for starters (84 IP), then maybe it is one out (0.1 IP) per game?

I am 120 games into my season right now. I have a reliever who has pitched 40.1 innings so far, and is leading the league in ERA among qualified relievers. If your theory holds true, that means if my reliever doesn't pitch in my next two games, he should drop off the list.

I'll keep a close eye on this, but as I am in a playoff push, I won't purposely not use him if I need to, just to test this situation out.

Sorry, ended up having to use that pitcher.

Weird. I observed this: 32.1 IP/100 games is unqualified. 33.1 IP/101 games is qualified. So one out per game is almost exactly right, except then 33.2 IP/101 games should be the minimum.

Maybe 100 outs in 101 games rounds up?
