Fred,

In the LePrez league the Jets were favorites and the spread was 7.5.

The Jets did not cover so Jaguars got the point. 2 members (Astrid Delisle and Serge Lecompte) were given a point even though they picked the Jets and that's because their spread showed 0.0 instead of -7.5.

I want to correct this by removing a point each from those 2 and was wondering what was the best way ?  

Please also let me know why their picks show a 0.0 spread when eveyone else shows -7.5 ?

Thanks,

John (LePrez)

Hi John,

I'll dig in to this and post here when its fixed, which will probably be no later than tonight.  There were some recent changes in this part of the code that obviously broke this. This kind of problem sucks for me :), since I'll have to write a script to correct the picks across all leagues using the spread.

OK thanks Fred !

I want to better understand so I can explain to our group when the points are deducted from them.

OK, got'er fixed. This was a bug that's actually existed since AutoPick feature was introduced a few years ago. If AutoPick occurs before the line is set, the line for the pick is incorrectly set to 0, instead of 'pending'. The window for this to happen is small, it would have to be a league with an early deadline, such as your Thursday 6pm deadline, and before all the lines are set, AND it would have to then be an autopick. Anyway, both the two players in your league affected now have the Jets as a loss, and the bug itself is fixed going forward!

Hey Fred,

Thanks for the corrections and the explanation on why it happened.

I'll advise our group and all should be OK.

By the way - the picks deadline for our group is 8 PM not 6 PM.

John
