There appears to be a bug with SoA's match history. If you search for Roster = All Time, their three matches from last week show up. However, if you have it set to the latest roster these games do not appear. Given their latest roster has 8 people in it and not 5, that might be the root of the problem?

Hmm, what if you make dummy matches for the undetermined matchups so that people can pre-populate, and once the teams are known, after you create the real matchup in the db, copy the predictions over as a subsequent step? admittedly i know nothing about your database structure, but could it be as simple as adding an UPDATE that changes the associated series number for all the predictions on the dummy to the real series number, followed by a line to DELETE (or just hide) the dummy series? that way you don't have to worry about updating the teams or continuity or anything.

edit: never mind, i misunderstood your first paragraph and i get it now. good luck with this!

It's okay, I'll claw my way back to the top... hopefully :)

Also, I appreciate that the challenge bracket was quickly thrown together for HGC. A quick stop-gap that I had in mind for when there's a tournament/event is to put up "upcoming matches" that don't have the actual team names, something like 'Winner LB1' vs' Winner LB2'. Then you have the entire bracket there and team names can be filled out as the event progresses. It doesn't need to be pretty!

However, I don't know to what extent the game list is automated, so maybe this suggestion is highly impractical (does heroes esports actually have an API for this stuff? i would think not...).

Thanks for all the work you guys have put into this site, and I'm having a great time following the bracket challenge.

Bracket challenge: For the tournaments/events where there is a structured bracket, it would be nice to be able to fill out the entire bracket in advance based on who we think would win. I live in NA and a lot of the Eastern Clash games took place overnight when I could not have possibly been awake to fill out the bracket. tl;dr: I've fallen from my consistent placing at 2nd~3rd place since the season started down to 9th and i'm super salty about it.
