illiniman14 Prolific Registered: Fri Jul 10 2009 Posts: 1519 Loc: Champaign, Illinois, USA ...	For the Fantasy KO this week, the program for Tournament #110 is loading the first player, but then has a message "error finding user -10" and doesn't show the other 15. Just looked at the actual tournament and the 2nd player is FT_Bot10 - could be the reason. Edited by illiniman14 (Tue Jan 01 2013 01:15 AM)

I am missing players 2,3,6 and 16. _________________________ The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not smashing it.

It wouldn't seem fair to have some no shows advance v bots and that one lower seed player not. It also presents the situation of a player gaining a second round pass because a bot had advanced to that stage rather than just being a first round place holder. _________________________ "...Tomorrow's come a long way to help you."

Have added a temporary msg telling people to ignore the program for this week for that division. Would it not be possible to write a workaround, so that you could still let people read the program for everyone else? It would add dummy entries for the Quizbot. Like something to check with each player? Code: if player == quizbot dummy_text_function else regular_program_function_for_entry Or, since most players are not bots, maybe it makes more sense this way: Code: if player != quizbot regular_program_function_for_entry else dummy_text_function Dummy_text_function could print something like "QuizBot31 is just a bot, but it has lots of heart! Do don't count QuizBot31 out". All the other routines would be skipped like checking profiles for badges, etc. It would probably be a lot of work. Just thinking out loud. Cheers.

Buddy1 Enthusiast Registered: Wed Oct 15 2008 Posts: 491 Loc: Arkansas USA	I just realized ozzz2002's problem comes when trying to make selections for the Fantasy Knockout. The rest of us who mentioned we have a different problem comes when we tried to view the program. When making my picks, I realized there were only 114 divisions, so Division 110 is likely to have FT_Bots, being only 4 from the bottom. I assume this is because of New Year's Eve/Day.
