The exact limitations are determined by the player's actual playing time (referred to below as Actual GS, Actual AB, etc.) during the major league season corresponding to the current ABA data disk. Refer to the tables below for each type of player. The numbers shown under the "Maximum" columns are the limitations for the ABA season.
