How the showdown optimizer works

Pick the Captain

The Captain earns 1.5x points for 1.5x salary, so the right Captain wins or loses the slate. The optimizer tests every option, not just the chalk.

Fill the flex

It solves the best flex around each Captain under the salary cap, then ranks the full single-game lineups by projection.
