I bet none of it is automated and it's just some dude who logs in after the games and updates the chart manually.  ;D  ;D  And the dude is probably as confused as to how the tiebreaking works as many of us are/were.


https://stats.cfl.ca/standings is now correct.

Seeing some Qs about a 3-way WPG/SSK/CGY tiebreaker. As I read it:

WPG: 3-2 (.600 win%)
SSK: 2-2 (.500)
CGY: 2-3 (.400)

And last season the CFL confirmed they break *all the ties* with the step. Not break the first tie then go back to the beginning.

Imagine all this technological advancement and the Bomber roster is  worse at tracking the the latest roster changes than it was when done by human hand, it's always too late, inaccurate and useless.

The problem is it's no longer someone's job to keep the information up to date.  All it takes is a line of code from Genius to automatically update the roster, but it constantly fails to  deliver, so apathy and misinformation becomes the accepted norm in place of dependability and we are presented with obsolete information which is virtually worthless.

I'm not into conspiracies but is this interference directed from the gambling industry to make statistical information more unreliable so more bets are placed based on emotion than knowledge and data? Is Genius tied in with online gambling in anyway?
