Baseball starts today......the consensus and team experts are at 0%. Nothing being tracked. When will this be fixed?

Hello,

Although the MLB Regular season does indeed start today, Our King of Contest picks will not be submitted until tomorrow.

There is still one preseason game remaining. The consensus should return to normal tomorrow.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Regards,

Ok no problem. I didn't know about the 1 preseason game. That is ridiculous for MLB to still have that 1 game on the day there are regular season games being played. Absolutely ridiculous! Get it together!! 

GL this season

Agree, totally ridiculous for MLB to schedule an exhibition game the same day as they start the regular season. Completely idiotic.

When are numbers going to start accumulating for Monday?? Consensus and Team Experts still have 0%.....Usually you can make selections when the lines are out. The lines are out already.

Community Leaders (Team Experts) are computed season by season and there is a minimum amount of games that need to be played to be to be considered a Community Leader.

Preseason (spring league) does not count towards this.

Thanks for the update on how Community leaders are computed. This is new to me as well. I've been using Team Experts for several years, maybe the stats were coming from previous season but even on opening day they were stats for TE picks.  Looking forward to see how the Community leaders picks develop this MLB season.  Best, Garett

Community Leaders (Team Experts) are derived for the King of Covers (League Contests).

There are no Team Experts yet for MLB because today is opening day in terms of the KOC 2016 MLB Regular Season. Yesterday's 3 games were not able to be included because a final Spring League forced us to continue the Preseason Contest one extra day. They could not run concurrently.

You should start to see some Community Leaders for MLB tomorrow.

Thanks for the update! Been on Covers many years and I also was not aware this is how it worked. I always remembered having the team experts roll over from previous seasons and start like that. I don't remember it starting fresh every season.

There are still no team experts being accumulated for MLB!! Day 3. I understand the process of the covers contest but it has NOT been like this before in the past. This is getting very frustrating!!!

In years past the team experts started right away using the previous seasons results. It was not like this

I prefer it not begin with the previous season's experts, personally. Let each season stand on its own. If it takes a few days to sort it out where it's meaningful, that's the way to go.

Hello,

The previous year's data will not be used for the community leaders. Once there is a large enough sample size to compute the community leaders, that data will populate on the consensus pages.

Ok. Is this something new? How long does it normally take to get enough data? Will it be weeks? Just so I can get a ball park idea. I use that information alot for the games. Thank you!
