  • Owner Points
   a. How they are spent
       1. Points are lost every game to pay off player salaries.  The lower the team salary, the less points you lose.
       2. You can spend the points on practice items to further improve your players.
       3. If you wish to release a player to make room for another, you lose a designated amount of points.
       4. You can trade them like cash considerations to help acquire other players.         
   b. How they are earned
       1. There are certain goals for each game that when reached, will net you a certain amount of points.  The more you accomplish a goal, the harder it gets, and the more points you get.
       2. Winning a playoff series gives you a ton of points.  A World Series win gives you 50000 points (not including other playoff series).
       3. If your player wins an award (Rookie of the Year, Relief Pitcher of the Year, Pitcher of the Year, Silver Slugger, Gold Glove, or MVP) you receive additional points.
   c. Tips for managing owner points
       1.  Most Success Mode players are cheaper.  Use more of them.
       2.  If you team starts with some overpaid players trade them for lesser, but cheaper players.  For example, trading Roger Clemens and Hideki Matsui can get you Aaron Cook and Troy Tulowitzki.  Johnny Damon can acquire Curtis Granderson, etc.
