Miscounting Losses

[iouri_]

On the leader board a number of players are recorded to have 0 losses, but when one actually examines their games, they have at least one loss. Is there a delay between the game being played and the result affecting the leader board numbers?

Specifically:
snowman () and
jhawthorn ()
they're currently (5:10pm EST) at the top of the leader board with 0 losses.

No, this is because when a user resubmits their bots, all the games that other bots have played with it get deleted from the leader boards, but not from the games played.

Hmm, that's a problem.
I was informed that the source for the discrepancy was more than 1 submission being counted, however you showed that i was wrong, i'll email the organizers about this.

Yes, that is why, forgot about that part.

Ahh... right, that makes sense.

Thanks!

Yep, I can confirm that that's exactly what happened!

This behavior is kind of confusing actually. It's not immediately clear why your bot's wins, losses, and draws are not just the sum of the results of all the games played by your bot. Perhaps we should change this.
