    Sadly I don’t think that there are any ways to sort this out without affecting people who genuinely made transfers without trying to gain advantage.

    I’n all fairness everyone knew when the “official” deadline was as we had been counting it down for at least 24 hrs , Anyone who made a transfer after that should be re scored based on the team at the official race start irrelevant if they realised or not ,tbh most people who would have changed their team would have been aware of what they were doing imo

    It’s not difficult to see those who have done it just by looking at the transfers.

    Why don’t you assign yourself a 50 point penalty or have Dave do it? 🙂

    Luckily most that I have looked at don’t seem to have noticed. It’s not difficult to see those that have.

    The problem is, the deadline didn’t change at all. The clocks did. So a roll back, won’t work

    No-one gaining an advantage
    No-one gaining an advantage in the top 10. How do I know.

    Go here, click on the team name and you can see all the transfers

    There are three solutions to this.

    Dave might be able to do a roll back, which is fine for me, because I will actually score more points.

    The race can be void and everyone can have 0 points

    It can be left as it.

    There is nothing in the game for giving individual teams 0 points while leaving others alone.

    I only noticed it after it was posted on the forum. For everyone to see. I honestly don’t remember it happening last season. But if there was a race on the day that the times changed, it most likely did happen.

    There was NO cheating, to cheat, you would need to hack the game somehow, it was open for everyone.

    Did you really just say you need to hack the game to cheat? #o

    We are all adults and as we all know any exploitation of a game mechanic be it server clock error or hacking a server is cheating , yes one is available to everyone and the other is doable to a few ppl with the right it knowledge but both amount to the same thing…..an unfair advantage in a game based on rider knowledge and luck.

    You weren’t the only person to do it as most of us who use the forum realise but I agree with joel . Timestamps will indicate when team changes were made and anyone who did it should just have their team scores reset to the team prior to race start .

    Or for true punishment ,which surprisingly I don’t advocate, have this race score count as zero if found to have cheated
