[b:4354d74f9c]Update, 1:40pm ET:[/b:4354d74f9c] All of the Thursday night games that were scheduled to be re-played are now complete and official. We regret the circumstances and apologize for the frustration and delay. Thank you all so much for your understanding and support as well.

Important note: I had to roll back the DH backups upgrade in the Lineup Depth Chart, so even if you set DH backups, they will not have had any effect. This will be the case for the time being until I can properly implement it.

---

This thread will hold updates on the status of the games of Thursday night (Sep. 16).

In an attempt to add DH backups to the Lineup Depth Chart feature, I regrettably introduced a major bug into the game engine that caused the starting pitcher for the away team to be lifted before throwing a single pitch in many games on Thursday night. Many leagues were affected, but not all.

[size=16:4354d74f9c][b:4354d74f9c]In all affected leagues, Thursday night's games will be re-played.

All leagues that were unaffected will have their existing results stand as official.[/b:4354d74f9c][/size:4354d74f9c]

The re-plays will occur some time this morning, most likely before noon ET. [color=blue:4354d74f9c](Update: Looking more like this afternoon. Sorry for the delay...)[/color:4354d74f9c]

This affected leagues under the main site, namely ATG, 2007-2009, 1999, 1986, and Back to the '90s. So it did NOT affect The '70s Game, Back to the '80s, 1969, 2001-2007, or Fantasim.

We don't have the ability to re-play specific games or specific series. I'm only able to re-play entire nights at a time. So it's the fairest solution to re-play the night for those leagues that had even a single game affected by the bug. I just regret that any bad results were seen before I could accomplish this.

The following is the list of all leagues that were NOT affected. If your league is on this list, the games you see already played are official and will not be erased. If your league is not on this list, but you still see games from last night posted, please disregard them; they will be erased shortly.

Bernieh, thanks again for doing the right thing (again)!

I didn't actually see the games, I saw your note instead. But, reading people's comments, it sure sounds like it was necessary - a big glitch. Thanks for being committed to getting things right!

It appears changes to starting line up also not picked up

And thanks for trying to get a DH backup feature installed, which has been on my personal wish list for a long time! Hope this glitch didn't derail that project -- please let us know. Thanks again!

Duhhh. I just checked the lineup feature, and the DH backup feature is THERE! Excellent!

Bernie,

What is the status of the "Who's Your Daddy?" 2009 public league? I don't see it on the list, but the games from last night have not been erased and it doesn't appear that the bug affected games played in this league.

This also seems to be the case for the "1919-1929" and "Good People-LG #9" leagues.

wow... backup DH :)

As an underdog in a Tour finals, I have to say this has added some unexpected drama to my Friday morning :lol:

Oh, gee,thanks! I go 6-0 with my two teams that were at home (2-1 on the road). NONE of the pitchers on the other teams got pulled before the game started. But, neither of those leagues are on the list.

So I get the shaft by having them replayed?????? WTF!!

First, Bernie, thanks for being so quickly straight up with us and working immediately to try and fix the glitch.

Second, thank you for working to supplement the depth chart with DH picks. That's helpful.

Third, the Tour League that I'm playing in seems to have run fine last night (unless, you've already re-played them as of 8:53 EST Friday).

League: P.C. Event 3 L.G. 6

Good luck today!
