Position maximum usage in Fantasy Basketball and Hockey Leagues

Each position on your roster allows for a maximum number of games played. During a normal season, Public Free and Public Prize Basketball and Hockey leagues have a default limit of 82 games per position in Rotisserie leagues, while Head-to-Head leagues have no max limits.
