in the 1 august metropolitan baseball game, metropolitan right fielder lucas duda contributed a total of +0.420 WPA. the remainder of the positively-contributing players contribution for the game was +0.90 WPA. the baseline schaefer vote based on this contribution is 8.24, however, due to the restriction on the maximum allowable schaefer vote, lucas duda is awarded 6.00 schaefer votes. as a result, the schaefer votes for metropolitan pinch hitter scott hairston are increased from 0.53 to 1.08, for metropolitan relief pitcher ryota igarashi are increased from 0.55 to 1.12, and for metropolitan relief pitcher manny acosta are increased from 0.69 to 1.40. m.e.t.b.o.t. determines this by decrementing hte WPA contribution of metropolitan right fielder lucas duda until the resulting schaefer vote reaches 6.00. in this instance, m.e.t.b.o.t. decremented 270 WPA, or 64% of the total contribution. m.e.t.b.o.t. does not carry this adjustment forward, however, for hte purposes of monthly or yearly tabulations. it is done only to conform to the parameters of the shcaefer voting input. while defensive WPA adjustments were made in the game, they did not affect any net-positive contributing players, and therefore do not affect the schaefer votes.
