I decided I'd see how a team with non-Latin characters showed up in the scoreboard. I can't remember which exact one it was. It's name was wholly Chinese characters and it plays at 6am Eastern time tomorrow.

Immediately after logging in, every link immediately returned Bad Request. I experimented a bit, and I was able to remedy the situation for following one link by deleting the sb_value cookie. Because it was immediately regenerated, the next link would be Bad Request again.

I was able to permanently get things back to normal by going one link at a time (clearing sb_value each step of the way), and removing the match of the Chinese-character team from my scoreboard.

BTW, it showed up as "???" in the scoreboard.

We now have a workaround for the problem (the "tooltip" corresponding to the team with the Chinese characters now also displays question marks instead) and we'll have a proper solution for it soon.
