BRASSball Constitution - Acts of God

I was double-checking the usage rules in the BRASSball league constitution, and came across section 11.C:

"The BRASSball league game structure file, sent out by the League Statistician, will not adjust the statistics. As such, each BRASSball owner knows confidently that each position player is allowed 105% of the at-bats plus walks, and that each pitcher is allowed 105% of the innings pitched, from the previous MLB season. The only exception to this rule is when the most recent MLB season played less than a full schedule of games (currently 162 per team) due to a player strike, owner lock-out, act of God, or any other reason. In such a case, the League Statistician may choose to multiply the partial season's statistics to a full 162-game BRASSball equivalent. It is each BRASSball owner’s responsibility to know the plate appearance limit and the innings pitched limit for each player on their squad."

I was trying to determine what my 2012 season was going to look like if the Mayan end-of-the-world thing would be classified under "act of God." My research to see if I would be covered in the outfield during the last year of Jose Bautista's contract got back on track when I realized that the world is supposed to end in December, a month or two after the 2012 MLB season is over. Whew!
