Heuston, we have a problem

February 8, 2007

No it’s not trouble in space, or even trouble for Iarnróid Eireann. I’ve had a few complaints wondering why their weekly points when added to last weeks total points don’t add up to their total for this week :( (
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, after reporting the problem to my IT manager, he’s come back after a few days saying that there is a bug in the software, which will have to be patched. On the good side, he did however say that the problem is just confined to the weekly scores and does not affect the overall scores. (at this juncture he’s not sure if it affects the inter-transfer points). A fix will be in the offing soon, but he said that other more critical projects needed completing first.

unfortunately, some participants have seen fit to demand a personal apology from myself. I’m just the PR guy here …. anyway what would i know about that stuff …. i’m just a farmer for gods sake!

OK, Technical guy decided to fix the problem after all!! And i found a few discrepancies with the scores. The beneficiaries are:
Eddie’s Gunners +19 (points from Louis Boa Morte were not being added in)
Pat’s Pricks +4 (Ian Pearce was going into negative values recently)
Don’s Danger Men +1 (Lucas Neil)
DJ’s Deadlies +1 (John (Patsil)
Mairead’s Sexy Men +1 (Lucas Neil)

Also, the weekly scores should add up from now on. and the inter transfer points have been updated too, but they will no longer show points for players you have sold (what they would have scored). Here’s the correct leaderboard (hopefully) for the 5th February:

05/02/07 Team Name Total Week Inter Transfer
  Der’s Mighty Men 843 42 148
  Cash’s Cruisers 821 49 138
  Pat’s Pricks 795 50 145
  Donal Murphy 787 33 131
  Donal C’s Losers 759 37 117
  Eddies Gunners 744 47 142
  Shaybee’s 726 42 108
  DJ’s Danger Men 717 54 136
  Don’s Deadlies 715 57 138
  Maireads Sexy Men 664 43 133
