(95110.11)

Wozzvt wrote a script that went through every team in the game and caught basically all the players above a salary threshold. After this we scouted them one by one adding them onto the team, copying the stats, and then dismissing them. I would ascribe the only possibility of great undiscovered players to the possibility of "human" error (e.g. we skipped a player while going through the list).

That wasn't posted by me, and it's not really accurate to how we're scouting players anymore. Now that players are more mature and most good players have come in through the draft, there's really no reason to "sweep" all teams.

I have done exactly what the poster suggested for http://buzzerbeater.dnsalias.org/country.cgi after asking many times here what was the limit. The only answers I got was to not use to many threads.
It's running since a few months and nobody objected.

Before this gets completely out of hand, let me see if I can guess what mark_lenders is trying to say:

There should be definitive (semi-official) answers to BBAPI questions like this one, but unfortunately they rarely come. If these answers were ever to appear, this is obviously the right place.

Now let's get back on topic, please.

Although I have had no official contact from the BBs

I think the BBs would appreciate if developers did not exploit the BBAPI.

Common sense should prevail and it is clearly a concern for all developers. If we suddenly get 100 support sites that all slam the BuzzerBeater servers then I am sure the BBAPI is likely to be turned off until it can be controlled.

I would suggest we all aim for no more than 100 simultaneous connections from any program.

I have limited mine to about 20 threads. What could be interesting to reduce load is to enhance BBAPI so data mining is more efficient, which I have asked. However, BBAPI seems frozen ...

Well since Domenico is no longer a BB, and I don't think this is a major project for the developers at the moment, it is likely to stay frozen for now.

We will have to work with what we have got... Lots of possibilities on what else we could get. Maybe I will create a list that we can add to for when a developer does come along
