Current Standings

I went over all Week 12 scores by hand and found an error in the source code that was costing players some 8-point scores. That has been fixed and all 12 weeks rerun. The scores for this week are now correct.

I also tested one player's season total by adding all of their scores. It was correct.

I figure if I keep picking the Lions to win they continue to lose, the more reason for them to sent Quinn and Patricia packing.

Mission accomplished, ic23b!

Truthhurts, I went through your old comments about mistakes to do more testing. Here's what I found.

BTW Nov 11 you have me with 0 points, but i have picks there 59 i think ... I should have 8 points for the cardinals game, not 5

You have 58 points in Week 10. The Cardinals won by 2, so there was no 8-pointer possible.

i should have 15 more points from this week, i got the falcons, raiders and titans exact

I have you at 85 points for Week 9 with those three games as 10-pointers because you got the exact score.

RCADE, I think I get 16 points for the chiefs game, not 10

Your score for that game is 16 in Week 8.

Thanks for help finding bugs!

I think I found another bug in your code. It keeps "unlocking" my Saints picks. If you go and look at the comment section for each week (like last week), it lists the Saints game as a lock. But when you go to the picks page it's not locked. I haven't locked the Saints every week, but, every time I have it's "unlocked" them (you can confirm my intention by seeing on the comments section that it is listed as "lock"). This past week I locked every game except the Jaguars game (and will be doing the same this week- I know they're going to lose, most likely, I just can't click on their opponents name/lol). Is anyone else having this problem?

So, maybe the problem is with the particular line that the Saints have been on. As this week, when I lock the Chiefs game, it shows up in the comments, but on the pick page it keeps unlocking it after I hit "submit". I tried to change it back, and every time I do it, it "unlocks" that game afterwards.

I found the bug. It doesn't save the lock on the 12th game of the week. I've fixed it and will go back to past weeks and fix it in the results. Thanks!
