You're a Bunch of Factors

Hi all,

Apologies is this has been raised in the mammoth DD post, but I came 2nd at last Tuesday, with the fabuluous addition of DD has rocketed me up the leaderboard

But when I click my name on the npl.com.au website it says my best venue position is number 6, when i physically click the leaderboard I am number three. I'm guessing the software isn't registering DD points on the "name" page, as it does on the physical leaderboard itself.

Just thought I'd point it out if other people have encountered this problem. Thanks

Yeah same thing happened to me on Monday night, my pages shows me as 10th on one night at the Hoppers Club but the actual leaderboard shows me as 6th!!

Same thing has happened with me...

It's crazy

An email has been sent to Steve.

This should be rectified by Monday.

Just another way Double December is screwing with everybody.

Everything should be fixed now guys.

Cheers, if there are any other problems can you email me ASAP please.

Or for those of you who have it send me a text, 10 hours of driving ahead of me tomorrow.

I'm still having this problem.

My PP on NPL has me 6th at the Willaston on Tuesdays:

Actual Willaston leaderboard has me 4th on Tuesdays:

I will speak to Steve directly on Monday and try and sort out these problems.

Seems we have a few issues with double december.

I am sorry to keep canning this, but a player received 179.8 points for coming 3rd at a venue with less than 100 players... and this has now put him straight into the middle of the top 10 on the state leaderboard.

and those of us who are not getting the cards, have not improved our hard earned efforts from earlier in the season, will end up right outside the top 50, therefore affecting our chances to even make the state final.

This is what I mean by shifting the goal posts. We start the season playing under the 'then' points system, and with little more than a week or so notice, mid way throught the season, we are told of a promotion that will affect not only our points, but where we finish on the venue, regional and state leaderboards.

this in turn affects our eligibility for the state final and any prizes that may be available for venue and/or regional leaders. so we start the season under one set of rules and then they get changed - mid season.

season 1, 2008 there were regional prizes given out for the 2nd season running. I competed towards winning this prize in season 2, only to be told it had been scrapped, but not before I had played the season - after the season was over, while we were waiting to find out exactly who finished where.

This is what leads to player frustration, so when we see all these new things planned, we sit and wonder firstly, how they will work, and secondly, if it doesn't appear to be going well, are npl going to pull the pin on it mid season, as they have before.

It's just a pity you did not decide that d.d. - due to the adverse comments and feedback I have seen, should only run for a week, so let's shorten it, with little notice as that is all it took to introduce it.

Again, I am sorry if this sounds negative, but it is sheer frustration you are hearing, and not only mine.

this is the last time I will comment on this matter in the forum, I gather you will all be happy about that, but I just wanted to explain it calmly. as for my record of the highest average of a state leaderboard winner - it will be smashed due to dd, which is a pity, cos my average was done the hard way, no bonus points to help me. but records won't show that, the figures are what show, and not that dd distorted them.

who's fault is that but your own?

the goal posts have not changed, because they are the same for everyone.
