Question - How many regular season games are you making playoff games worth (obviously there's no hard rule, but just for my files I'm trying to settle on a number)?
I feel they have to be worth a minimum of 2x, and a maximum of totality of regular season = entire playoffs. I think the former underweights them, but the latter is troublesome for short playoff runs.
Haven't really done evaluation in a way that would require that; more than anything else I just try to educate myself on what each player brings/doesn't bring to the table in every possible rather than try to derive an SRS value mathematically (though I do use In/Out analysis).
That said, I've typically weighted postseason games by 3x, simply because I know mysticbb has mentioned that that's what he does and I usually take his recommendations to heart.
