Week 2 Roundup: Canned Response Edition

We're only 2 weeks into the season and we've already got some disappearing techies. So far, GG Foulin', Pgastan FC, and F'N FLOPPERS are missing a techy each. And that's only for the one's our Foul Club GMs have caught. What happens is it shows up as a techy live during the game but disappears the next morning. After checking the box scores on various websites and determining the techy should still be there (if you recall a few years ago, see the post "Yahoo! and the Curious Case of the Disappearing Techy" from 11/7/2015, that there were issues with Defensive 3-second techies showing up in live scoring then disappearing. Defensive 3 seconds shouldn't count as a performance foul so it was actually OK). Then the Foul Club will file a complaint to the commissioner and the commissioner will then file an official complaint with Yahoo! So twice in a few days this happened and we got the same basic response from Yahoo! Here's the latest response: 

Thank you for contacting Yahoo Sports. I understand you're inquiring about players not receiving points for a technical foul.

Scoring discrepancies
Sometimes scoring discrepancies happen in Yahoo Fantasy. They're rare, but here's how we handle them when they do:

    - All official player scoring, live data corrections and league standings are normally updated by 8:00am Pacific Time the morning after the game(s). Official stat corrections aren't applied until the end of the weekly matchup on Monday.
   -  Statistics that appear on StatTracker (TM) or Live Stats may not reflect all statistics earned by players during their games. If you see incorrect stats on game day, they will likely be corrected during our nightly update.
   - If they're not corrected by 8:00 AM PT the morning after the game, there may be a pending stat correction for your league.

Updates to fix incorrect live scoring stats

The MLB, NFL, NHL, and NBA issue stat corrections daily (as needed, while in season). We process the stat corrections during our regular nightly update.

    - Regular nightly updates - All official player scoring, live data corrections, and league standards are updated by 8 a.m. P.T. for the previous day's games.
   - Pending stat corrections - Anything not corrected by 8 a.m. P.T. is likely pending for your league. Check for pending or completed corrections under Players | Stat Corrections.
    - Head-to-Head corrections - If stat corrections aren't received by 11:59 p.m. P.T. at the end of the Game Week, they won't be applied as that week's Head-to-Head is no longer active.

If you have any other questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me. Have a good day, and pleasant playing! Thank you for choosing Yahoo Fantasy Sports!

So, the first email was basically a shorter version of that one. It used to be much easier to at least get a response from Yahoo! on scoring issues. I guess time will tell if they do something here. If we get some stat corrections in a few weeks regarding these then something at least worked.

With that, let's get to this week's post.
