0-0 Records have a .500 winning pct

Swimmer · 07-13-2006, 02:48 PM

Has anyone reported on this fact? If you have a team that you leave unscheduled for a season, and they don't play any games, then they wind up in the middle of the standings because the game considers 0 wins and 0 losses to be a .500 record, rather than a .000 record.

I realize that leaving teams unscheduled for a season is a little outside the scope of normal operations, but it is an important workaround for historical simmers dealing with expansions and the lahman db. A fear that has come up on the historical simulations board is that it might be possible for said 0-0 teams to actually win the division during the 1998 expansion.

Markus has claimed that this issue will be fixed in 1.0.3. However, we have not yet received a test version of 1.0.3 with which to verify.

Thanks very much,

Steve
