Attendance of rained out games being allocated incorrectly

[mikezone13]

I spotted this bug in an ootp 16 league just now, and haven't played enough in 17, but if the devs could check if it occurs that would be great as it screws with finances etc. not by a lot, but it's definitely incorrect.

Situation
If the FINAL game of a series is rained out (e.g. TEAM 1 @ TEAM 2) AND that series is not going to be played again in the season (i.e. it is the final 1 @ 2 series that year) but there is still a TEAM 2 @ TEAM 1 series to be played, game 1 of the 2 @ 1 series is postponed and played on the second day as a double header with game 2 and the TEAM 1 @ TEAM 2 game that was rained out is played on the now spare day.

That is all fine, except that the attendance and gate revenue from the TEAM 1 @ TEAM 2 replayed game is allocated as if it is a TEAM 2 @ TEAM 1 game.

I found this in a league where every team has a stadium of 16,000 capacity and we had one or two teams end the season with average attendances above 16,000 but after checking every home game there was not a single game with more than 16,000 attendance.

I then found one of these 'moved rained out games' and the total attendance in ootp for the team was higher than what I added up by looking at each individual home game by EXACTLY the attendance of this moved rained out game.

This then impacts the allocated gate revenue, effectively giving one team 1 or more (if it happens more than once) extra home game revenue, and taking away home game revenue from the team who should've been allocated the attendance.

What I would LOVE to see is an option to turn OFF rained out games, this would work really well for online leagues.
