That wouldn't surprise me at all.

I do not myself personally think this is a coincidence, my personal suspicion with absolutely no proof is a reset was done wrong after the original running of the games did not result in the desired results. But that may just be the cynic in me...

Quit whining and check your email for the card reader update for your mobile devices.

I don't buy into any of the conspiracy theories regarding this error. But I would like to see Strat respond, either via email or on the forum boards, to let people know what happened, how it will prevent it from happening again, and how it will make amends (one free credit per each affected manager seems reasonable).

I have emailed customer support, and I'm sure others have, as well. It seems to me that having customers speak up is the best way to elevate an issue.

It's a long weekend. I would give the company at least until Tuesday to review what happened and make things right. My 2 cents, anyway.

Happened to all my teams Friday and had an effect on the playoff race in one league. Big mess.

Similar problem happened around June 30, 2016. Search on 'glitch'.

Good call. Looks like it may have happened February 27, 2015. [I edited this because my original date was off by two months.]

Here is a response from John G that was posted by a user in the ATG forum a few days later. (Some were displeased with the subjective nature of having to lobby for a credit, because with every team in a league affected and rotations altered in future games, theoretically every team could argue that the results were unfair — an unassailable point, really.)

The post from two years ago:

"On Friday night there, was a widespread glitch that unfortunately caused our system to lose track of who pitched in the preceding series and who was supposed to pitch in Friday night’s games. Due to this error, certain pitchers ended up starting games on short rest. We have found the cause of the incident and have implemented precautions that will improve how our system reacts to unexpected occurrences like this, rare as they may be.

We sincerely apologize for the problems that this may have caused your teams. While we cannot replay games or change the results of games that were affected by this, we do sympathize with our customers, especially those who may have lost a playoff series or missed the playoffs due to these circumstances. If you had a team that lost out on a potential credit due to Friday night’s games, please e-mail us at onlinegamesupport@strat-o-matic.com and let us know the team and league. We will review the situation and add a credit to your account if your team was adversely affected. We will accept credit requests through May 1st, so any team currently in progress that was affected by this can receive compensation.

We apologize again for this, and thank you for your understanding."

So it appears this has happened twice before and always on a Friday as the final day for leagues ending, just a co-incidence? There really is zero excuse for this except total ineptitude or malfeasance.
