Items & Issues
1- Error reported with WPJ & COL. Was displaying WPJ (as visitor & underdog) COL (as home advantage). Correction made at 9:50am Apr 20. Now displaying correct. COL visitor and WPJ are home. Any Poolie submitted prior to 10:00am can resubmit if they wish to change their selection. This option to resubmit will be open for an extended time period. Hardcopy entries displayed the correct home vs visitor; therefore no change or resubmit is necessary.
2- Late error reported Apr 29. Poolies Picks Page missing Poolie “TOO TALL”. It was verified that “TOO TALL” entry was submitted and a snapshot taken of entry, prior to deadline.
Therefore entry is confirmed valid and the snapshot has been uploaded onto Poolies Pick’s page, Apr 30 9:00am. Download-link of saved copy of Poolies Picks HTML Page (Apr 29) prior to upload. If problem downloading html page, let me know and I’ll email the copy to you.
See Win-File-Explorer snapshot below.
3- Round 2 will begin before Vegas/Dallas game has been decided. Deadline set for Card #2 (round 2, 3 & 4) at 5PM. This way Poolies do not know the outcome of NYR vs CAR game 1 of round 2. The online Card #2 has Vegas/Dallas paired. Meaning if a Poolie does not select Colorado to win, their selected team is either Vegas or Dallas. Notes have been added to the Poolie’s Picks page for all to be made aware.
4- A Poolie forgets Card #2 (misses deadline) a Card is submitted for them with the underdog teams picked for each round. This submitted card is considered a “progressive” card. Meaning round 3 is updated after round 2 and round 4 is updated after round 3. The total goals for the final series is default “10”.
5- Poolies Picks Page missing Poolie “ISLES MADE IT”. It was verified that “ISLES MADE IT” entry was submitted and a snapshot taken of entry, prior to deadline.
Therefore entry is confirmed valid and the snapshot has been uploaded onto Poolies Pick’s page, May 6, 8:00am. Downloaded copy of Poolies Picks HTML Page (May 5) is available to send via email; just ask.
See Win-File-Explorer snapshot below.
6- Poolie “CRAPPOKAKKO” Card #2 entry submitted 16 seconds after deadline. Entry is accepted as its was simply just a few seconds. Possibly time-sync between PC and Server card was expired seconds late.
7- Standings correction made June 3, 10am. Poolie “BLACKY11” missing 2nd series points. Error made (ref update Jun 03 8:30am) with count and immediately corrected. Poolie now has 2W 2L record for round 3 and total 9W 5L of 14Total. Standings updated to include corrections Jun 03 10:00am.
