Early Games in London lock all Sunday games

[andygb4]

So this isn't really a question, but I thought it might help others in the future.

There's a game in London this week, and it's at 9:30 AM, so with the current logic of the pool, ALL of the Sunday (and Monday) games get locked at 9:30 AM.
Lot's of players in my pool didn't like that, since they all have their Sunday morning routines!

I looked at the code in the includes/common.asp page, and I think I found the solution, I tried testing it on dotnetfiddle.net and it seemed to work, but I can't fully confirm until I see how it reacts this upcoming Sunday.

So I looked for this line (around line 509 i believe)

Code: Select all

if Weekday(gameDateTime) = vbSunday and gameDateTime <= dateTime then

And I changed it to this:

Code: Select all

if Weekday(gameDateTime) = vbSunday and gameDateTime <= dateTime and Hour(gameDateTime) >= 13 then

So basically, I added 1 more clause to the IF statement that decides when to lock all games.
I added that the Hour of the game has to be equal or greater than 1:00 PM (13). Logically, the 9:30 game shouldn't make that IF statement true.

Hope this helps someone!

CAUTION: As I mentioned above, I tested this in a different environment, and it worked, but I never tested it in the football pool.
So if you choose to try it out, be ready Sunday morning to keep a close eye on it, and check if all games are locked or not.
And there's any sort of issue, just revert back to the old line of code.
