SMJHL File Error and Re-Sim
#1

Good morning SMJHL!

During the pause between the scheduled Game 3 and Game 4 sim in the SMJHL last night, we discovered that updates were missing for a number of players. After investigating, it was determined that the simmer (who also finished the previous week of sims) did not use the updated file to begin the playoffs on Monday.

The correct file was obtained, and in accordance with past precedent, Head Office ruled to re-sim the first three games of the playoffs with the correct file. In order to remain on schedule, games 1-4 will be simmed today at 12PM Eastern, with the standard 20 minute pause between games to allow for teams to submit changes. Games 5, 6, (and 7 if necessary) will be simmed tomorrow (Thursday) prior to the start of round 2, which will begin as scheduled.

I know you all are as tired of reading these announcements as I am of writing them, and I know that the level of trust in this particular aspect of our community is not in a great place right now. I want you all to know that we are discussing this at length in both head offices, and we will have more for you on potential solutions in the near future. We know that "just facepalm and hope it doesn't happen again" is not working, and we are in the process of formulating something more substantial to show you. Please bear with us, and know that we are just as frustrated as you are.


Have a great remainder of the playoffs,
On behalf of SMJHL (and SHL) Head Office

Jess

Thanks for adressing this.

That said, this is the happiest I have ever been for a resim after my Goalie felt like conceding 8 goals on 25 shots.

I post this with the total ignorance of not knowing how things go from data entry to file to the simmers themselves, but is it possible for the GM's and / or HO to have a chance to check their own file prior to the sim happening?


Again Idk how things are handed off between people, but it seems like having a set of eyes on that hand off and / or having the GM's know the file is correct in some way might be helpful.


If all else fails, I can stream my PSP NHL 07 to my TV, so I could prob just re-build the league on that if we need to!

Yes and no. In this case, the teams were given the file before the game 1 sims, but the file they were given was the correct one.

The error happened because the simmer who finished simming on Friday didn't import that new file before simming (and since the games picked right back up where Friday left off, schedule-wise everything appeared fine and no one noticed because no one was looking at builds on the stream). So the GMs were unable to check the file that was actually used for game 1 until after game 1 had already happened, and even then, they were checking during the standard 20 minute intermission between games 1&2, so unsurprisingly nobody was doing build audits at that time. This actually was caught by a GM after game 3, so in the end, that is actually what resulted in us catching it before the series had advanced any further.

oh that is interesting, Thank you for explaining it

I'm sure you all will come up with a great solution, but just know that if we can make it so @Rich has more work to do, I think 99% of the league would be okay with that!
