Hi Mike,

I suspect you set some players to Out-Of-Lives this week due to their not doing the buyback? If so then the count is probably showing the cached values before you did this, and will update properly once the week has processed Monday night.  Nevertheless I'll look in to having the cache cleared if a manager adjusts a player to Out-Of-Lives.

OK, this is a strange problem. For example, Karen Sulecki is listed as 'Out-of-Lives' yet she has only missed one pick. Did you by chance change any other setting, such as number of lives allowed? I suspect you have a handful of other players like Karen who won't be able to submit a pick this week until it is determined what happened. This will take some digging and since me and another programmer won't be available until tomorrow AM I won't be able to get you an answer until at least noon tomorrow.

Karen is out of lives because she lost last week with the Seahawks. Buy backs ended last week so if they lose they are out. This started last Sunday.

Duh, it's official Mike, I'm a retard. :) OK, this explains everything. Its likely a caching issue that should be easy to fix, likely ETA sometime tomorrow AM. Even without the fix it would recache after the next game starts.

Ok, caching issue improved, it's displaying properly now instead of waiting for the next game before clearing the cache. THe new feature of stopping buybacks after a certain week was the culprit. Glad you are on top of your league so well! Great league BTW.
