When the ATG tourney needed fillers, the points for filler teams/managers were not counted towards standings.
I know, my best team in this years tourney, was a filler team, and SOM got it correct by not counting those points.
I believe you did all you had to, by forwarding the info needed to SOM which manager/team in which league, should NOT be counted towards overall points.
I was doing great until Christmas, when my teams went a combined 0-6. I dropped from tied for tenth, to tied for 37th. I'm tied at 41 now . . . hoping we right the ship, and I didn't just have some early luck.
