Before each round begins the game computer calculates each player's salary. The salaries are the direct result of where you and your league mates have ranked the players. For each No. 1 ranking the player gets $500K in salary, meaning that if every team ranked the same player No. 1 his salary would be $5,000K ($500K x 10 teams), the maximum salary in BBM. For each position in the top 25 lower than No. 1 a player is ranked his salary is reduced by $20K, e.g. $480K for No. 2, $460K for No. 3 and so on down to $20K for No. 25. Players that are ranked below the top 25 have 10K added to their salary. That means that if a player is not ranked in the top 25 by any team his salary would be $100K ($10K x 10 teams), the minimum salary in BBM.
Let's say a player is ranked No. 1 by five teams, No. 2 by three teams, No. 4 by one team, and No. 7 by one team. His salary would be $4760K.
Ranked #1 - $500K x 5 = $2500
Ranked #2 - $480K x 3 = $1440
Ranked #4 - $440K x 1 = $ 440
Ranked #7 - $380K x 1 = $ 380
Salary = $4760
Note: This salary structure is for SPs, OF, and RPs. For all of the infield positions, the salary begins at $500K for a No. 1 ranking, but drops by $50K for each slot with any ranking lower than 10th being worth $10K. There are fewer players on the infield draft list than there are on the SP, OF and RP lists.
