Topic: Calculation errror

I was playing with Lineup Rewind tonight and noticed an error in calculation.

If you select the Main Slate for FanDuel on 3/16/2017 and choose "Actual Score" and run 1 lineup, it will show the Actual Score as being 328.40. My understanding is that this is the highest possible score you could achieve with this set of players. In other words, it should have been the highest score possible for that slate.

The winner of the Shot on FanDuel had 357, so I think there is something wrong with your calc.

In fact, when I "lock" all of the winning players from the Shot team, and run a calc, Cruncher gives me an error, saying that it can't find a team under the salary cap.

I imagine it's a data issue, but can you check?

There are some weird salary things going on because the late slate had different salaries than the main slate. But right now rewind only shows one slate a time. Not 100% sure this is the issue but it's most likely the cause.

You can see from the linked image that the team is $100 under the salary cap, only 9 players locked, and all of the proper positions.

I show the best actual as 378.6. Check your advanced settings, you likely have either a group or stack applied, or something else non default.

Thanks Dave - you were right. I had a game stack set. I almost never use them, so didn't think that this could be the problem.

No problem. I need to come up with some alert system near the calculate button that just lets you know you have non defaulted options. Its on my list of things to address as soon as I find some time.

Somewhat related, I do think there is a small bug with the saved lineups feature and the calculation for actual score. See image here - it's showing an actual score of 695.
