SBRlines - bit of a complaint

Must be a tech flaw because it does not make sense.

It is actually one of our sources that send a 'neutral' field/court and assigns the home team, in this case, to the incorrect team. Techs will manually fix it while we add a control at the back end to control this in the near future.

I don't like how they got yesterday's scores on top and today's games on the bottom. They should flip those around.

Great point. It's like they're living in the past.

Personally I like that. I do my spreadsheet work on yesterday's games in the morning so that is my first focus. Of course it wouldn't make much difference to what I do if they were at the bottom of the page.

And then at noon they disappear. If I had a complaint it would be that they should keep them around a bit later than noon. Some days, I can be running late for various reasons and I would still like to collect opening/closing line data from that page rather than having to go into the archives which is much less efficient.

You could take a screenshot of the page and then work from that when you are running late on certain days.

You know, I tried that and it came out so small and fuzzy, it still seemed easier to go to the archives.

But now that you mentioned it again, I took a closer look and I see how I can make those screen prints larger. (I am a major computer boob so I don't think of obvious things like that right away).

Very good suggestion. Thank you.

No problem. It was just a suggestion that could possibly work out for you.

The implications of this are slowly sinking in for me. I was not aware of the neutral court.

Personally, if it is a neutral court, I would prefer they be upside down so they will stand out and I know from now on not to treat them like regular games.
