Fred,

3 point spread for subject game should have given everyone in my pool a half point - several persons were incorrectly given either a win or loss - can u adjust or let me know what I can do to fix this ?

Thanks,

John

Hi John, 

This week caused some angst in a handful of leagues because a few lines changed by a half-point, but the site is working correctly. Whenever a person makes a pick they get the line the day of their pick, it has always been this way. What is new is that the line is now updating once a day instead of a few times a week. You'll have to explain to your league that the spread they get is what the saw when they made the pick, its only fair that way.

One change I do plan to make is to not let the line update if its only a half-point change, which will help lessen the angst this might cause some folks. :)

After talking with a member in one of my own leagues with the same issue, I'm going to upgrade the software to not change the line unless it moves by MORE than 1 point. This should filter out most oranges-to-apples lines that might occur between players.
