Well, 5th and 6th divs in most european countries are empty or at least not overly crowded that´s where I´m coming from. That excludes Poland, Italy and Spain I assume, and maybe Turkey sooner or later. I see your point about the chat though. And yeah, given that it´s a worldwide game there are probably not too many free slots to balance the load.

In Germany, the percentage of users in the chat from higher leagues is better than in the lower leagues - so I´d assume that the chat issues -might- sort itself out to some degree. Maybe it would even be an incentive to get to the higher leagues because the fun increases (and ... we might assume that plenty of the new teams starting in lower leagues might be rather young users. games at 3 pm might actually fit their real life schedule and enable them to enter the chat while 9 pm might be too late for them).

Thanks everyone for your valid points. We have already considered them all, though. I cannot really tell you where we're going to go with this because it's not decided yet, but whatever we do, I'm afraid it's going to take some time to implement.

Delay, in this moment 3 hours.....

i think we agree that the performace for all human matches is fine based on the fact the cup and scrimmages are availalbe pretty fast.
-> the processings for the matches is ok and optimized

so i assume the delays for league matches are caused by the calculations for many leagues with bots only. you said they have lower priority, but still they need to be calculated.

deleting/deactivating the bot leagues would need time and might have other disadvantages. -> no short term option as you said

i don't know which calculations (match calculation, box score calculation, league table update and so on) take the most time/ressources.
maybe it's possible to add a flag "bot only league attribute" to the league and skip some calcualtions in this leagues.
e.g. in bot only leagues every match ends 25-0.
noone needs updated tables in bot only leagues. maybe skip these calculations as long as possible or to "free" time slots in the weekly schedule.

adding a new column to a table and some if conditions might be possible as short/midterm change, but for sure you know your system better then me ;)

Its really rare in Lithuania, but we don't have the boxscores yet.. Its more than hour after the game.. Just let you know..

For the first game of season 22, we have had the boxscore one hour after the end of our game (more than 2 hours last season).
So thank you for the improve. Great job. I hope that time will go on

And congratulations for the offseason process. Less than 15h between the start of process and end of process for team (not for you i think).

Thanks. Definitely not a 15h thing for me, but I'm hanging in there, and these kind words help

18:40 games played

Game in progress! The box score will be available once game has finished.

People in our country become frustrating about this, every time the same..
