Alex,

Do you mean the Cass Tech FIRST Robotics District Competition? What I see in FRC Tracker 1.3.6 matches the official ranking page.

What are you seeing that's wrong? Does the leftmost button at the top of the ranking view say "Rank" or "~Rank"?

In general, if you haven't done "Update Event Info" since the grabbing the most recent qualifying match data from the @frcfms Twitter feed, then you get a rough guess at the rank which is pretty much always going to be wrong because the tweets don't have enough information to calculate it correctly, even when none of the matches were adjusted after the tweet. That's what the "~Rank" is all about.

However, version 1.3.6 comes with a complete database up through the end of week two, so those regionals should all be showing the official ranking data. If that's wrong, I'd very much like to know what you are seeing. If you can take a screenshot showing the error and send it to me, that would be really helpful.

Oh, I had not updated the event info since updating the twitter feed. I had the "~Rank" displayed at the top, but after the last update it now displays "Rank"

What's miraculous is that the rank was within a few points of actual. Although every point matters in this game :)

And it was the Detroit District Event, if it matters. (Although everything works now, so it shouldn't matter much :))

Alex,

Thanks for the feedback. I'm thinking I need to make getting the event info updates more seemless.

Version 1.3.7 is now available on the App Store. It fixes a problem where match tweets were being ignored. When you get the new version, next time you update Twitter it will download any tweets it previously missed.
