I see. I'm assuming nobody thought of it at the time but I'd just say that recreates can go up to 200 TPE before they have to start banking. But keep the 200 hard cap the same.
I still want to say I think you can go over the 200 total during the season, you just have to be under it at the beginning, which would solve the issue with carryover being more than the 25 difference between the two caps. The 175 applied though, that cap is throughout.
Yeah, you just have to be under it before the season starts. If you pass it during the season, then you can't be back in the VHLM again the next season, but you can still finish the season.
