1.9.10
For you
- A tie now shows as a Miss on the games list too, where it showed no label before, and the game's own page now uses the same wording as the games list.
- Nothing changes for you yet. The track record now counts a tied game as a miss, at the confidence we had in the side we leaned toward, because we never predict a tie. No game has ended in a tie this season, so no figure on the track record changes. No published call changes either: this changes how a tie is counted, not what we said.
- A finished game now reads the same way everywhere: the games list, the game's own page, a game that finishes while its page is open, and the track record all say Hit or Miss with the confidence we had in the side we leaned toward. The Favorite won, Underdog won and Coin flip labels are gone, and the game page's result now names the side we leaned toward and our number for it.
- A tie now counts as a Miss, because we never predict a tie. It shows as Miss with our confidence in the side we leaned toward, and both clubs stay in the normal text colour, since neither won.
- A game that finishes while the games list is open now switches to the finished scoreline without a reload.
- The track record shows Hit or Miss with the percentage on every call, and a dated note explains the change to how ties are counted. No published call was changed.
Under the hood
- The track record builder grades a tie as wrong and scores it in the Brier score, the log loss and the calibration curve as if the side we leaned toward lost, so a tie costs exactly what a miss at the same confidence costs. Before, it left ties out of all of them. Accuracy is now the share of graded calls marked right, which gives the same figure as before on any record without a tie, and a test pins that. The published track record keeps its shape; only the contract's descriptions of the grade and the Brier score changed. Records published earlier are not rewritten: every forecast run writes a track record of its own, and the change reaches the published one at the next scheduled run. The assistant tools' track record summary labels a tie as a Miss and says whether that record counted it. A shared table of cases in artifacts/fixtures/verdict_cases.json now holds the pipeline and the site to the same Hit or Miss answers.
- One verdict function in the site decides Hit or Miss for the games list, the game page, live updates and the track record, and it answers the same shared table of cases as the pipeline. The pill and the finished scoreline are their own components, and each games page carries one hidden scoreline template that live updates fill from the card they replace. The confidence tier on the track record counts from the same verdict. The coverage fixture now includes a tied final, so the accessibility checks see a tie on the games list and on a game page.
