League Chat

In case you missed it, Games 5 and 6 of the first round of the playoffs need to be re-simmed due to a BSOD on the simputer leading to a corrupted league file... and a hurried restore from what I presumed was the local backup of the league file in turn resulted in all sorts of really wrong DCs across the board.

As always, the goal is to get things correct as often as we can. So we'll be re-simming those games with the proper DCs to make sure we get proper results. Some teams that thought they won playoff series will no doubt be in a situation where they now have extended series (or even lose) but I hope everyone is in agreement that it's better to be slow and right than fast and wrong.

Teams will use the DCs they sent as of the original Games 5 and 6 deadline (i.e., no changing DCs now). For the benefit of those who use nodes, the PBSL.zip file has been updated so you can pull that down and confirm for yourself that the DC that will be used for Games 5 and 6 is correct.

EXTREMELY sorry for the confusion, and I guess now I know what I thought was the local backup of the league file actually isn't. Also, I did some maintenance on the physical machine that hosts the virtual simputer (it hadn't been rebooted in several months) in the hopes of stabilizing things so hopefully no more BSODs while simming. Obviously I can't guarantee anything but I'm doing my best.

This has been a bit of a rough season from start to finish, and I thank everyone for their understanding. Let's get it over with, get it over correctly, and hopefully we'll have many seasons of smooth sailing going forward!

Hi Wig, I sent a PM to confirm my DC I had set via TV that didn't seem to be loaded. Do you want me to reupload via TV as well?

So its not necessary to pause the league to make sure the computer is working properly?

[JNR]

Wow this is an awful look for the league. We need to fix the pc issue because this is twice in a few days and it has massive implications for the league.

Please do.

It does, and I'm doing what I can to prevent it from happening again (as mentioned, maintenance and a reboot on the physical machine that runs all the virtual nodes including the simputer).

Activity check to make sure everyone is paying attention as we get ready for Season 27. Please post in the thread linked here: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=4914 to make sure I know you are still active and dedicated to crushing all 29 other teams in the league.

Hmmm, I wonder if I could score Durant to pair with Love.

Draft lotto should go down between 6 and 7 pm tonight if all stays on schedule.

Is player/pick database blank for everyone else?

if you are talking about lists.php? Yes, it always is during the draft.
