Hey guys, I've just spent the past 72 hours completely rebuilding how we handle stats from our provider, unfortunately a few issues do remain as some values (particularly steals, blocks and turnovers) seem to be wrong on their end. Expect any boxscore with faulty numbers to be revised as soon as they new stats are passed down to us.

I do have good news though, the stat infrastructure on our side is faster and more efficient than ever, so we'll be able to pull stats from the provider more frequently than ever.

I've also built into the new code a system that tracks revisions. Last year was the first year where we actively updated our stats with updated stats. It made things more accurate but somewhat chaotic. When this revision tracking tool gets off the ground we'll be able to reference exactly whose stats changed from what to what and when.

Nice work

Good news, ak31+. On our league, one user chose Angre Ingram (who is not active in the NBA) and it seems that this is preventing the system to finalize Matchday1. Will this also be solved?

Update: Still no updated boxscores from Oct. 17 but I just got off the phone again and was told that updates should be on their way within the next few hours. Apparently new software on our provider's part is causing some early season struggles.

I'll hold off from finalizing Game 1 until we have a confirmed set of data.

The boxscores have been updated by our stat provider. Hurray! As far as I know, every single stat in our database this season should be accurate. If you see anything incorrect, please notify me as soon as possible.

Less exciting for Sports.ws but still cool nonetheless is that the parsing tool that works WITH our stat provider is now bigger, faster and more resilient than ever. (IT JUST HELPS TO GET ACCURATE DATA FIRST, HAHA).

We may still encounter the occasional hiccup (like one this morning that had incorrect FGA values for some players) but those are easily patched quirks that arise during such a transition.

I've also just wrapped up my revision tool that should track each and every stat change that comes down the pipeline from our provider.

Finally, I am officially scoring Sports.ws Game 1. Be on the lookout for your official scores in the next little while. When I can confirm that goes successfully and our email notification system works, I'll consider this opening week SURVIVED.

great job Austin. Thank you !

Whop whoop!

Great effort!!!

Great effort!!!

More issues with the stats from last night I think. Miles Plumlee is down as 0/6 FGs when he shot 5/6.

As far as I know, that’s the only one. They went out of their way to “revise” his FGM from 5 to 0. No idea why. I can fix that manually.

Miles Plumlee has been fixed. If it gets overwritten again, I'll be riled up. Hahah.

It gives two different scores in the "Homepage" for the league and on the page of the game itself.

Ok, it was an OT game, I did not realize it sorry. However maybe it is still useful to notify that it displays the regular time score in the homepage instead of the final.

Wait, there's still a discrepancy. IT shows 169.9-168.4 in the homepage. This would not cause the game to go to OT btw.
Then if you click on the game page it says:
Overtime Required
169.9 vs 169.4 (not 168.4 like in the homepage)

Sorry for the many posts.

Hey Ripper, if you have an issue with a specific league, message the support account. These forums are more for general site updates.

Thaddeus Young is fix wrong, in my team sign 0,15 per minutes but he finished 0,46 per minutes. My league is The Wolfpack D league, my team is Napoli Lions

There are no known issues with Thaddeus Young at this time. Any specific league issues should be sent to Support/Help.

hi !!! we still dont have our first match point correct , its that normal for everyone ???

Jimmy, if your specific league has an issue, contact Support/Help.

Any issues with projections not updated after Game 2? So far I think so, no?

I'm not what you're referring to but there aren't any lingering issues that I'm aware of. There was a delay with the season averages being updated after last night's game but that has been rectified.

I mean the usual projections of the lineups when you click on "projection" on an ongoing game. it calculates as if players had only played game 1

nevermind, not anymore. It's been fixed in the meantime lol

Okay, yeah, there was a delay so you were definitely on to something. I'm actually cleaning that up now so it will work faster than ever.
