Draft tournaments missing players after roster submitted

Eckstein 4 Prez · 09-11-2022, 02:50 PM

This has happened to me a couple times before but it was particularly noticeable today because I tinkered with my roster about 30 minutes before the tournament started.

Had my 26-man roster, fiddled with a few strategy settings, submitted, submission accepted. Just looked to see how my team was doing and it only has 20 players instead of 26 - one of my starting pitchers is gone, a starting position player, two of the bottom guys on the bench... there's no rhyme or reason that I can see.

I'm going to lose as soon as it sims a couple more days, of course, but this also really saps my interest in doing these draft tournaments when guys just vanish like this. I assume others have had this issue since it's happened to me multiple times - is there any fix, or is it just "yeah, sometimes you just lose for no reason."

All I can say is, we are going to be looking into what happened with this; it shouldn't have happened, and we're going to find the cause of what happened with it. It's affected pretty much everybody in at least one particular tournament (Sunday Defensive Present), but I'm not sure if it's going on with any others.

Thanks. To be fair, it's been several weeks since I've noticed it in any other tournaments - as you guessed, I'm in Sunday Defensive Present. (Hilariously, it seems to have affected my first couple opponents worse than me, because I won both those rounds somehow.)
