  Official Pennant Chase Change Log
  This is a new feature starting late February 2021. I am going to attempt to update this log with any changes to the site, even small fixes or changes. It will save me from creating individual announcements, and it will provide a view into what is happening and a historic log of when things changed (as of late Feb. 2021).
  5/16/2022 - Basketball branded version of the PC app is available in the iOS Store if you search for "Basketball Sim Leagues". (Android coming, and baseball will be moving to this format.)
  5/15/2022 - Double Stats is now an option in Basketball Leagues. Also, improved the "Simple Edit Lineup" page so you can see who is already in a slot while selecting a player.
  4/27/2022 - Team Splits is now viewable under Team Totals in Baseball. Also, on fire icon added to Box Scores.
  4/8/2022 - Donors now see fewer ads and there is an option to donate as "ad free" - for 2x normal donation ($2 per week) you will see zero ads, for those who really don't want them.
  4/7/2022 - Made a couple quick adds requested by commissioners. 1) Added quick link to Re-Import a player for commissioners on player's menu. 2) Added Retired Players option on the Import from League tool.
  3/27/2022 - Created a simple version of Edit Lineup for Basketball. (One of the annoying things about the complex version is you have to set inactive players first before you can use them anywhere.) Also, fixed compiled assists in baseball during infield outs at the plate (thanks user htennis for the note).
  3/8/2022 - Open Custom League draft rooms have been added to the alert at the top of My League List.
  3/7/2022 - Added a message alert when you're on deck in the live draft room. Added a message alert to commissioners when the regular season ends so they know to build playoffs. Fixed a couple bugs in basketball tools: editing a retired player to a team will now unretire the player, importing teams across leagues will copy over player potential.
  3/6/2022 - Player Scramble was launched.
  1/30/2022 - Did some work to allow for bots in Hoops Playground for leagues that are close to filling but have sat idle. Also, reformatted Edit Strategy page in baseball to make the page more organized.
  12/27/2021 - Fixed an issue with defensive replacement logic in baseball. Sometimes dWAR was not being compared correctly, resulting in the DR not entering the game. Also fixed an issue in the basketball sim engine that was sometimes causing sims to stop working completely.
  11/16/2021 - Bench SPs will no longer be penalized as if they were in the rotation. The 2021 leagues have exposed a problem in the logic where SPs could come in and throw very few pitches and need at least two days off, and this was wrecking bullpens. This has been fixed.
  11/14/2021 - You can now SAVE draft ranks for Auto League Daily Draft leagues for import into future leagues! This works for all sports. This should be a game changer for those who do a lot of DD leagues, as you won't have to set your initial ranks all over again each time you join a new league.
  10/28/2021 - Improved control of Real Progression. For leagues that do real progression, it is sometimes a confusing experience, made more confusing by the fact that some leagues are always moving up one year at a time, and some leagues use players from a mix of years and want to move everyone up one year. You now can control which year everyone gets moved to OR you can choose to move all players up one year regardless of which year they are currently on.
  9/6/2021 - Improved bot team management - made sure after the supplemental drafts, bot teams will auto promote any strong players from minors and re-set lineups. They will also pick up an extra catcher if needed. Also, the "CPU Quick Set Lineup" link will now show a prompt (since some people have clicked it by accident) and it will offer the option to auto promote players as well as set lineups. Auto promote is also now a feature on the Manage Farm System page.
  8/25/2021 - Fixed the issue when players swapped position, their dwar was not dropped to zero if they were out position. In Basketball, added trophies to player cards.
  8/8/2021 - In Baseball, team page will now alert when you have either a hitter OR a pitcher available for slump buster, but you don't have someone in that role.
  7/15/2021 - In Basketball, added B1, B2, B3 which allows for bench priority. This helps the CPU when auto-creating waves. It will also apply during foul subs in game.
  7/13/2021 1) You can now archive your waves in the basketball game so that you can restore them in the case you have to mess around with your waves at any point due to injuries. 2) In both baseball and basketball, added a link to player cards for Commissioners only to quickly delete a player's contract. Commissioners in the past have asked for this.
  7/1/2021 - 1) Made a tweak so tired on-fire pitchers shouldn't remain dominant for many innings. 2) Added an opt-out of the internal injury emails on your Update Account page. 3) Added a new page for users needing a username change - note, please only request username changes if you are in dire need.
  6/6/2021 - Import Full Season of Players
  An oft asked-for feature from commissioners is to be able to import all players from a single season with one click. This feature is now available on the Import Historic Players page of commissioner tools.
  4/1 - 4/23 - Minor fixes and lots of bball work
  I have not updated this in a while, but there have been some minor fixes, while most of my spare time has gone to finishing the basketball version. I've gotten a lot of great suggestions and I plan to circle back to some of those soon.
  3/30/2021 - Retire based on low stats, double player stats by position
  A few recent requests by users have been added to Commish Tools. You can now retire players based on low ABs or IPs. Also, under Bulk Updates, the double stats options can be done by groups of players (hitters, SPs, RPs). Other minor bug fixes also patched.
  3/16/2021 - Added day to team results on desktop view; other minor site performance fixes
  Team results table now has the day next to the date to more easily see when you had a day off.
  3/5/2021 - Fixed dRank sort on Free Agents and added an alert if you try to send a league message with no name selected
  Previously, when you did not select a name when sending a league message, the message went to the public league board. Now, it will force you to pick everyone or a specific name.
  3/3/2021 - Logos have been migrated to a new server
  Our server that hosts logos has to be retired at the end of the month, so I needed to migrate all logos and league banners. (This is the type of work that is not noticeable to most users, but takes a fair amount of time and effort.) As part of this migration, I also made the Upload Logo and Upload Banner pages a little nicer.
  3/1/2021 - Users banned from posting cannot dislike messages
  Anyone who has been banned from posting on the global boards will now also not be able to dislike messages, since this feature was being abused.
  2/26/2021 - IF players added to stats page
  When filtering the Player Stats page, infielders (IF) were not included in the table for 2B, 3B, SS or 1B. They have now been added.
  2/25/2021 - Adding clickable info icon to subs on box scores
  Subs are not always shown in the correct order on Box Scores, so now you can click an icon to see which player the sub replaced and which inning it happened.
  2/25/2021 - Fixed DWAR when player out of position
  In some cases, players were not dropping to a zero DWAR as they should have been when the player was out of position (not at a primary or secondary position).
