Hi,

I'm playing in the finals this Tuesday,
but somehow it says on my schedule that the home team is the other team although
both of us have the same winning percentage and I have a better PF-PA difference (457 against 379).

why is that?
Here's a link to the standings

please try to fix it before the match takes place...

thanks,

yaniv

People! This is very important. The match is 18 hours from now.
This kind of bugs makes me really frustrated with BB, I can only hope it won't happen to me in the future (although I have my own annoying bugs , but that's for another thread)

thanks!

The BBs (and specifically me, right now) are looking into this.

Hi,

I've got the exactly same problem...in the rules it's said "...the lower-ranked team has the home-court for the second match." And that means to me (after having the same winning percentage) having the better PF-PA difference... as said pretty urgent cause the games'll be played in just 18 hours!

thx

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

Unfortunately the upcoming games come too soon for us to safely switch home and away without impeding on those who have already set your lineup. What we are going to do is switch home and away for the tiebreaker, so that the correct team will have the correct number of home games in this best of three. We recognize that enthusiasm strategies will be affected, but we hope that this is an acceptable compromise. The bug has been squelched, and will not show up for anyone next season.

Sorry about this, and good luck! The correct home and away teams for the tiebreaker will be set shortly.

Thanks for your efforts!

It changes my strategy a little, but winners shouldn't let the circumstances get in their way :)

thanks again,

Is this problem affecting a lot of people?
I´d like to know it just to inform in the spanish forum.

i suspect its probably affecting 50% of those people in the finals who are going against a team with the same record... so not a lot of people but some..

That's a really bad solution. I was convinced that I would play at home. Thus I had setup my enthusiasm tactics according to the scheme home-away-home. Now suddenly I am throwing away the chance to play TIE in the way game, which does not let me build up my enthusiasm as needed. There has to be a better fix than this.

It was a bad problem with no good solutions. I can't really think of a better way to have dealt with it, myself.
