- Record for lines.
- Biggest all time: 27, Steelers over Bucs, 1976.
- Biggest recently: 26.5, Broncos over Jags, 2013.
- Biggest since my app: 22.5, Pats over Jets, 2019.

- They have a mobile app. Downloaded and played with it.
- Called “Fantasy Supercontest” from BookieLab Inc.
- Mine is better:
- All-time stats.
- Desktop and mobile (via browser, but responsive).
- Data API (graphql for web client and python pkg for desktop client).
- Customizable banner.
- Funny feedback form (trivial).
- Localized time.
- In-app rules, page-specific instructions, legend.
- Progress graph (total points vs week).
- Free league.
- Theirs is better:
- Native mobile.
- Full record, covers-pushes-noncovers (mine just has total points).
- Ranking graph (lb position vs week).
- Both have:
- Old seasons, old weeks (historical data).
- Leaderboard. Full percentage.
- Total picks per team per week.
- Weekly summary of teams and players.
- Team logos.
- Not sure:
- Live-update frequency.
- Administration.
- Payment interface.
- Email reminders / notifications.
- Nationals are up 2-0 in the world series.
- Listened to mostly Myles Kennedy (vocals/guitar for altar bridge) and his solo work. Tremonti is still my favorite of the 3, between Tremonti, Cornell, and Kennedy.
- Supercontest.
- Fixed a few small issues due to lowercasing the team names and mapping the statuses. The capilization now is completely confined to the frontend html, through a jinja filter. The backend python/postgres all used uppercase before, but the frontend js does now as well.
- picks_open is now forwarded to js.
- Added logos: https://gitlab.com/bmahlstedt-group/supercontest/issues/128.
- Total size of all 32 logos is 452K in vcs, which is fine.
- A deployment failed because the droplet ran out of disk space (it’s 25GB).
- df -h
- docker system prune -af (16GB)
- sudo apt clean (4.4MB)
- sudo apt upgrade (8MB)
- sudo reboot
- Decided not to do full record (covers-pushes-noncovers). I only pass total points everywhere, I don’t plumb which points came from a full cover vs half point from push. It would require some surgery to expose that through the whole chain, and it doesn’t add much.
- Backend did all the same pick verifications as frontend except “you picked the opponent” – added it.
- “Ethanol cannot be concentrated by ordinary distillation to greater than 97.2% by volume (95.6% by weight), because at that concentration, the vapor has the same ratio of water to alcohol as the liquid, a phenomenon known as azeotropy.”
- Tesla jumped quite a bit after the profit report.
- FB won’t move forward with Libra until approved by regulators (sure).
- Google possibly spied on its own employees? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-23/google-accused-of-creating-spy-tool-to-squelch-worker-dissent.
- House of Spirits event.
