Greetings!

As per our previous news update, the site has been overhauled and is receiving some of its last updates to make sure that the season runs smoothly from here on out. Here are some of the issues being addressed:

Tiebreakers: They are being stored! We're still working on the functionality, once its complete the tiebreaker will work for weeks that have already passed as well, so as long as you've made your TB pick then points will be awarded.
Password Reset: There are still some of you who haven't been able to get into the site yet, we've added a password reset tool so that you can reset your password through your email. Keep in mind that some user's weren't moved over during the site migration, but registering and joining pools is much easier than before. If it appears your account is not on the site we can assist in getting you back in your pools as well.
Hidden Picks: We'll be fixing this feature today so that all picks made in a hidden-pick pool will be hidden until the game passes.
Ranks: As a final update we'll be making sure that the weekly and overall results all rank user's by their score.
There will be lots of additional functionality added, but rest assured we are working day and night to make sure that this all gets resolved as soon as possible. Thanks so much for your continued patience.

Thanks!
The team at AmericasPool.com

Greetings!

AmericasPool's website has just recieved a major code overhaul and things will be working much better than before! You'll need to reset your password to enter the site, and if you experience any bugs please don't hesitate to Contact Us. The site works mostly as it did before, but its gained a few features and has a few on the way.

Pool managers can now alter picks for any user from any week and can do so from within the weekly list table.
Currently inner-pool rankings are not finished, but will be very shortly!
Deadlines have been replaced with a more automated feature; Games now become unpickable the second that they begin. As we roll out more and more features, the PM's will recieve features to give them the ability to influence pick times.
You can now delete your own Banter Board posts!
Editing your profile is currently disabled, but the feature is on its way
Most, if not all, of the major bugs from the old site are resolved.

You should have recieved an email detailing how to reset your password to log into the new site. If you didn't recieve the email (check spam too) then please contact us and send us your email and we'll personally make sure you get an email detailing your password reset.

Because of the site's complexity and speed of the reprogramming, there are a few bugs you may encounter that we missed. Fixing bugs is going to be much faster and easier so please let us know if you find anything! We'll be working day and night through the rest of the week to make sure that the season is back on track. Thank you for your continued patience!

Thanks!
