Hello,

We are very aware of the issue and have handed things off to the IT team.

The back end of our system is complicated and they are working very hard to get it resolved.

We will notify you of any updates.

Regards

Office Pool Forums are simply down at this time, not erased. Our IT department is aware and are working diligently on the issue.

We should have them back up soon.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello,

If you go to Community Picks Leaders by Team and for example, select NBA, click on 'View' under 'Team Top 20' to get the top 20 community leaders for that team. From there, you can click 'Details' to get the pick history for each community leader by date.

Just wondering if this is possible.

Hi there,

Sorry, but we ask that you refrain from using the lock thread title. Keep up the insightful posting!

Hello,

The previous picks for League Leaders are not shown on the Consensus page, but can be found by going to the leaderboards for each King of Covers contest. From there, you can click on a user's picks profile and view their pending and completed picks. We will pass along your suggestion to see if this can be included in the Consensus pages as well.

More specifically, I need a quick way to get to the BOTTOM of the standings to see the worst cappers by side and by total by both Units and RSI, which used to be simple clicks of the buttons. In order to replicate that now, the Top 50 under Community Leaders has to be expanded to include the FULL Leaderboard.

Hello,

Sorry, we do not offer a classic or beta version of the site. Currently, the League Leaders page shows the top 50 for each sport. You can access the full leaderboards by going to the King of Covers contest pages. From there, you can click 'Last' to jump to the bottom of the leaderboard. Your request has been noted to include this in the Consensus pages as well.

Hello tatehill2000,

Each of your 3 requests have been recorded and passed along to our development team. Unfortunately, we do not have an exact timeline on when this will be completed, but rest assured, it is on their to-do list. We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience in the matter.

Other than that, nice job!

Thanks, we'll look into those bugs.

It appears to be working, can you double check?

When we click last page (sorted by NBA or NHL) it is taking us to the last page: 141 for NBA and 104 for NHL.

Incidentally, MLB is now working perfectly, including listing the last partial page of 38.

Alright, understood.

I havent checking in last 2 hiurs, but from 5% win up to 50% win in NBA league consensus there is literally only 25 picks available to see?

There not linked to king of covers

A lot of users in that win % range have submitted a very low number of picks and most likely are no longer playing the contest.

I'm not sure we see the error, or perhaps it expired considering last night was the last regular season day. There are no available lines yet in KOC NBA Playoffs, therefore that's why you don't see status 'Pending' when sorted by NBA.

With regards to Win % sort and going to last page, yes we see it is pulling it users with less than 25 picks. We'll look into that.

There are 4 pending plays listex in the 40% range,  none of which are pisted in the WIN% SORT.

And that only the last page comparison..
Ty

When filtering Community Leaders by NBA > ATS > Win % and scrolling through the pages in the 40% - 50% range, there are several users with pending picks showing. Can you please send the URL to a page which you believe the data is not populating?

All are at 47% wins...  NONE ARE LISTED in the WIN% Sort...

It is on page 116 of the nba/ ats /win% sort.

Ty for your time

We are doing a final win % code fix today, which should resolve that issue and list the users in the correct order.

Win % sort is now fixed and only displays those with min 25 picks. We may look at adding a secondary drop down to this column for 100/250/1000/2500 pick options as well.

Hopefully everyone is please with the overhaul. Let us know if you encounter any bugs or have any general feedback.

Regards,

1 more request.. the win% sorts is almost working perfect.. it is a touch disjointed though.  If you click nba, then ats then win%  then go to last..

Ok, now click up 14 pages.... the win% will Jump.... its not fluid... it will go from 20% to 40%, then go back to 30% to 43% 

If you just scroll up 15-20 pages you will see the jump..

Now having said that.. i am stil VERY VERY DAM HAPPY RIGHT NOW.  Ty for your hard work

Yes, we are aware of the issue. The win % sort is currently displaying all of the users with over 20 picks, followed by all of the users with less than 20 picks. That will be corrected soon.

Thanks. 

We'll get that Overall record of each sport pointing to the correct record and not O/U.

We removed the contest records brick within MySpace for something else coming soon. We had to remove it because we re-launched our new Contest platform and it was connected to the old version. So stay tuned for an overall records view and possibly a KOC Contests Overall Leaderboard with additional prizes.

Regards,

Covers-Team

Lastly, although it is possible to review the tally of each individual sport, Covers stated when it initially undertook the task of revamping its website, that a module would be restored on each member’s home page that would give an overall tally of the current season for ALL sports combined.  In other words, we would be able to get a quick snapshot of each members overall success or lack thereof without having to review each sport page individually and subsequently having to manually calculate said member's overall performance.

 

Please advise…
