Amateur Draft Change

August 12, 2007 at 09:35PM View BBCode

I've put in a minor change that should prevent the amateur draft from running unless all 16 teams are renewed. This should prevent the occasional problems we have where we forget to pause a league's draft during the renewal phase.

I've set up the draft so that it shouldn't run after this season.

My newest messages appear first, and I didn't log into the beta site last night, so today's message about linking the renewal status notice to the User Prefs page was at the top of my list. As a result, I already updated my renewal status.

If everyone does that, the draft would run, right? Do you need some of us to leave our status as undecided or not renewing, in order to ensure this function works?

I'm going back and changing my status, just in case.

lvnwrth - that's related to the other change.

This change is just a simple stop-gap coded in the Amateur Draft code that won't allow it to run until everyone has paid.

Have you worked on the Subscription leagues?

Sometimes I get a u2u asking why the League Info shows that have not renewed in the OCL.

If the default Renewal notice displayed "Yes" instead of "No" and, when someone cancels their subscription, then the "Yes" could change to "No" giving a visual affirmation on the League Info page.


Never mind... Suspending the Amateur Draft in a Subscription leagues, like the OCL, may not work because of its structure of 4 divisions.

I have some ideas for the OCL and how to help that one, but that's not for today.

I'm going to speed through the rest of the season today and maybe into tomorrow to test this change.

So what's the process now.

Off Season has run, one owner is leaving, one is unknown and two are undecided.

Do we put the league on hold ? Since we have no commissioner will Tyson or BleedRed contact the owners and solicit some fresh blood ?

tworoosters, that info is just junk info. I put that in to test somethings, nothing more. We're just testing some new code in that area, as well as some new code to pause the Amateur Draft.

I'll work on this tomorrow to make sure things paused correctly, then get us back up and running.

I marked everyone as renewed and ran the draft, but it didn't quite go right. I backed out the draft and am going to run it again.
