Starting Pitching glitch Friday Feb 27 games

2014 PC Semi-Finals league had a problem with pitchers starting two games in a row or every other game. Anyone see a similar glitch in their league?

2014 PC Semi-Finals league had a problem with pitchers starting two games in a row or every other game. Anyone see a similar glitch in their league?

Scumby can someone from the leagues please email strat about the glitch, as soon as possible?

Please keep me advised as to how this gets resolved.

Obviously it's a very serious concern for the tournament, and for of the online leagues!

I'll take a look at as many games as I can, from the links, and try to make a list of the occurrences.

I'll start a new thread on the PC tournament for this.

For all 200X leagues, can any one who has seen this glitch, please email strat, by using the drop down menu item "contact us" under the Help menu item?

It sounds like it might be all leagues, perhaps with 5 man rotations, per alk58's post, above on this thread.

Gamers , please post here as to which card sets are being affected - 2013? 2014? Others?

2009u, 2013, 2013u, all 3 different. My guess we all have been affected, lucky for me the games didn't mean anything. In one league it was the last night of season with a bunch of teams fighting for a playoff (i clinched already).

This is the email that I sent to strat a few minutes ago:

Based on my quick glance through the Friday games, the following teams/games are affected (including their opponent, indirectly):

League 1 -

waynick
bbasebrawl
Jeepdriver

ScumbyJr
durantjerry

League 2 -

GoDucks (ugh, Mike, and you're running the Mystery tourney, agghh!)

Thanks to Scumby for pointing this out.

This glitch appears to have been pervasive, right across every card set and league. The only teams that appear not to have been affected in some cases are teams with 4 SP*'s, where they just let strat run the starters in descending order on the team roster sheet, from game 1 of the season. Any change in per-game starter order, or teams with a non * SP rotation, appear to have been affected by this glitch.

In other words, many, many series are affected on Friday night!

Please email strat about the issue, using the "contact us" drop down on the help bar, if you've been affected, directly or indirectly.

If nothing else, if they haven't noticed the glitch yet, the volume of emails should get their attention quickly (I hope).

Honestly, it looks like it goes across all card sets, including ATG. It looks to me like Friday's games might have to be re-run - just my thinking only.
Geoff PC commissioner (J-Pav taking over in 2015).

Yes I had a league were two starters pitched in four games.

I immediately noticed it and wrote SOM an e-mail at midnight last night--now I have two relievers, one my worst guy on the staff going in the next set against the 1st place team--(looking at my schedule--it is like I have injured starters)--and I had my starters set just they way I wanted match up wise as I use two * starters and three 5 game starters--screwed that all to hell.

S-O-M should just set all the pitchers in the league to rested in my opinion, like the 1st game of the year---the only way to somewhat fix it without replaying last nights games.

My 4 man in the PC semi finals was unaffected.

Received from strat -

"Hi Geoff,

Yes, there was a widespread glitch last night that unfortunately caused our system to lose track of who pitched in the preceding series, and who was supposed to pitch in last night’s games. This is the reason why certain pitchers ended up starting games on short rest.

Unfortunately, at this point, it’s not technically possible for us to do anything about the results of last night’s games, and rotations for tonight’s games and beyond will have to be based on what has transpired. We’re sorry that we’re unable to rectify how any particular team and league, and regrettably the tournament, were affected by this.

What we can do is investigate the cause of the incident, and try and make sure it doesn't happen again. The root problem was a freak outage at Amazon Web Services, which is the normally reliable host where our servers are located. We’re taking steps to improve how our system reacts to unexpected occurrences like this, rare as they may be.

We apologize again for this, and thank you for understanding.

Sincerely,
Strat-O-Matic Baseball Online"

I guess we'll just have to keep calm and carry on. Their response to my email was fast.

hmm, there is nothing they can think of to make up for this? One word "SALE"
