PT Live is Now Live!

[dishnet34]

Perfect Team Live is now...Live!

Today, PT Live has officially launched and is out of beta! Perfect Points will be awarded beginning today, and weekly leaderboards will also begin!

We will also have monthly leaderboards and "Full Season" leaderboards for PT Live, beginning June 1, as well as a playoff version of PT Live coming this postseason!

While the prizes for monthly/full season leaderboards are still TBA, the weekly leaderboard prizes have also been announced for PT Live. They will be the following:

1st place: 50 standard packs
2nd place: 35 standard packs
3rd/4th place: 25 Standard Packs
5th-10th place: 15 Standard Packs
11th-50th place: 5 Standard Packs
51st-100th place: 2 Standard Packs

For those who don't know how PT Live works, here's a quick refresher:

How Does PT Live Work?
Each day, you will create a lineup using any Live card you have in your personal card collection. A lineup is made up of:

• 1 Catcher
• 1 1B
• 1 2B
• 1 3B
• 1 SS
• 1 LF
• 1 CF
• 1 RF
• 1 DH (any batter)
• 2 "Utility" players (any batter)
• 2 Starting Pitchers
• 2 Relief Pitchers

Player eligibility at a position is limited to the position named on the front of the Live player's PT card. Card training in PT does NOT carry over to PT Live. (NOTE: Shohei Ohtani is eligible at BOTH SP and DH/Utility, but can only appear in one spot per day.)

You can use a maximum of 2 Perfects, 3 Diamonds and 4 Gold Cards; however lower cards may substitute for higher spots (i.e., you can use 5 Diamond cards and no Perfect Cards, or 9 Gold Cards and no Diamonds or Perfects).

At this time, Rosters may be submitted until 10 a.m. ET each day, at which point the daily roster will lock in. You will be able to set a lineup for the next day after the deadline for the current day has passed. For example, once the 10 a.m. ET deadline has passed for submitting a roster the May 5 games, you'll be able to set a lineup for the May 6 games.

Rosters must be submitted daily to earn points, but at this time, PT+ subscribers will have their roster auto-populate with the previous submission.

FAQ (Via Matt Arnold on 5/5/23):

Q. When is game data populated?
A. Game data is populated both initially at 10 AM for the next day. Any changes after that for the day may not be reflected in the interface. Scheduled Starters are also updated at the same times. We are looking to update that more frequently.

Q. Can I see more game information?
A. On the MLB Schedule tab, we list out all the games, projected SP, and link to the MLB Gameday page where you can look up more information.

Q. Do I have to log in in the morning before 10AM to set my roster?
A. After the previous day's deadline, you can set the next day's roster. Hopefully down the road we can make the deadline more dynamic.

Q. What happens if I sell a player from my roster?
A. You need a copy of the cards. They are not tied to specific "instances", so if you have a duplicate of a card, you can safely sell either version of the card without worrying about selling the copy on your roster. The list automatically filters duplicate players.

Q. Do I have to manually copy in my roster every day if I am not a PT+ subscriber?
A. On the "Past Rosters" tab, you can view your past rosters, and use that to copy to the current roster. Also when your roster is empty, you will be able to hit a button to copy in your last submitted roster.

Q. What happens on the next live update?
A. You will need to ensure you have a legal roster after the live update. If players change tiers or change positions, you may have an invalid roster. It's certainly highly advisable to log in on the Monday morning before the deadline to check your roster.

Q. Can we see more stats?
A. It's certainly on our list to add! Right now, you can see how many points your players have earned each of the last few days, and the leaderboard tab will show daily/weekly/monthly leaders (weekly/monthly leaders will gain PP through leaderboard standings). We certainly are looking at more ways to help you set your lineup?

Q. Can I *lose* points from this?
A. No - you are always capped at 0. While some players individually with bad performances could have negative scores, as a team you cannot "get" negative points.

Q. Is PT Live be available on GO?
A. Not initially - we will announce when it will be available on mobile. *edit* It is now available! https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=347482

Q. How do double-headers work?
A. The games are scored separately - So a player who gets 3 hits the first game and 2 hits the second game won't get the bonus for 4+ hits, but they will get credit individually for each.

Q. How are suspended games handled?
A. Games are only scored when they are complete. On the day the game is suspended, no points are awarded. When the game completes, all the points from the game will be awarded, based on team's current lineups (effectively treating the suspended game like it was a double-header on the day it resumes).

For the second time in 3 days my day submission of live cards failed to end. I set them last night then came online this morning and made sure I set b4 9am.

Dont actually see the pack rewards for finishing in the top 100, is there a specific time that they hit your account?

[Hwilensky]

Still didnt get my packs for finishing in the top 100 last week.

They were distributed around I believe 6AM ET yesterday. If you look in your transaction history around that time, you should see them there.

[Janks]

I did not receive mine for squeaking into 97th place for week #21

I think they had 2 different programmers work on this. Since I was tied for 97, how can there be a 98th place?

Look at the top of week 21. Two people tied for 9th place. The next person should be in 11th place, but they are listed as 10th.

So while we have the 97th and 98th highest scores, the rewards are probably cut off to the top 100 user ids, not the top 100 positions.

They need to change the positions due to ties or give rewards based on the actual position.

I may have been 92nd, but either way I finished in the top 100, and didnt get my packs either.

[Chris Marquardt]

Due to the ranking not skipping numbers it seems as some people are in the top 100 when they are not.
We will adjust the ranking numbers to accurately show the ranking.
Additionally we will change the reward system to give out rewards to all top 100 ranking players even when these are more than 100 players.

[Chris Marquardt]

Ranking numbers are updated as of today.
The changes to the reward system will be implemented until next week.

It's Monday and there is no data for this week, but the final standings for last week are nowhere to be found. I was in the top 100 after Saturday and I didn't get any packs, so I'd still like to know how close I came. There seems to be room for improvement on this page.

[Chris Marquardt]

The week is first populated on Tuesday 10am ET wit the predictions for Monday.
Clicking on a table header and you can select the leaderboard you want to see.

[Drivehud.com]

I can never get my PTlive roster to save. I've tried at almost every hour of the day now. It just resets to the last roster no matter what I do.

Any suggestions?

[Chris Marquardt]

Update June 12th:
- reward system changed to give out rewards based on the ranks and not their internal position. So a team with an internal position of 102 and a rank of 100 will still get their reward. Tied teams are now rewarded the same.

Update June 21st:
- fixed the 25PP bonus for 4+ hits to not give out the correct amount in some situations. To clarify the bonus will be applied for each additional hit starting at 4 (4 = 25PP, 5 = 50PP and so on).

Will there be any sort of make-good for those who missed out on these points with Arraez's 5-hit game earlier like their was with Sanchez? (as one might assume, I fall in this camp)

[Chris Marquardt]

All affected teams got 5 Standard Packs this morning.
