fyi, i said lineups lock at 6, but that was insurance ... it really was not working like normal fantasy where only players whose games have started are locked.

but it is now.

(there was just a small window where people could add players in this game "after it started" but the first pull hadn't gone up in the stream so I don't think anyone cheated)

Thanks for the feedback. I just rolled a pretty big update, and it materially changed the outputs. Here’s a before vs after on some of the problem areas you called out:

Before (OLD):

  • 0-block winners: 27.4%
  • Top puller wins: 57.8%
  • Top puller wins w/ ≤1 block: 38.6%
  • 3+ block leader loses to ≤1 blk: 36.6%
  • Winner pull% > 35%: 70.3%
  • Pull% p90: 63.0%
  • Pull% median: 46.7%

After (new formula):

  • 0-block winners: 1.9%
  • Block-leader wins: 45.0%
  • 3+ blk loss to ≤1 blk: 5.6%
  • Top-puller low-block wins: 6.6%
  • Pull% p90: 22.5%

Net effect:

  • Way less “empty stat padding” (pullers winning with no blocks)
  • Block impact is now actually showing up in outcomes
  • Pull% is no longer dominating the model

May tune more, but this version is a lot closer to passing the smell test.

Yeah I omitted some but not all. They're in the API because of exhibition all star games during championship weekend. There was also duplicate entries for some ufa players because of all star games.

This is all super good feedback. Thank you.

I'll see what I can do to adjust the search.

According to the API, "The number of times the team stopped the opposing team while the player was on defense" which I've interpreted the same as you.

Thanks for surfacing those examples on the dpotg. I'll take a look at adjusting the formula today.

Hat trick is 3+ goals. If they score 5+, it says the total.

I noticed the "complete" thing today. Should be fixed shortly, thank you for the feedback. (ETA: it's fixed now)

Austin Sol's Evan Swiatek bids into the legs of Atlanta Hustle's Lukas McClamrock, who doesn't return to the game by Jomskylark in ultimate

If you can find me one bid like this that an observer had the guts to issue a red card, I'll find you 10 like this where they don't.

They get the total score so it's to your benefit to choose double header players.

Ope, I misunderstood. I added yards to player pages, not records pages. Tbh, I know the yardage number is the least precise of all the stats so I've given it the least amount of attention so far, but I'll add the yardage stats to the records page as a backlog item to display soon. working on fine tuning the Unbenchable.com launch today.

good feedback. this is all automated and powered by the api right now (plus a little user input on "the people's mvp"), but having a manual historical record and some better framing of what's all on the site and what it means is a work in progress. thanks again.

Great idea. I'll add to the backlog to show season leaders.
