How to treat defaulter's overall score? #21

As mentioned in issues #7 and #16, a defaulter will not have a tiebreak score. However their overall score for that week might have a value greater than 0 (I believe it has been filled in to match the lowest score for that week).

When displaying historical data for the overall results page, should the defaulter's score for that week use a 0 or the score that was filled in?

Using the score that was filled in will ensure that the results match the standings page in the spreadsheet.
Using a value of 0 will give the correct results.

I was always very careful to NOT copy the tie-break score when filling in defaulter's picks. Did you actually find a case where a defaulter had a non-blank tie-break score?

No, I did not find a case.

The subject of this issue is that a player that defaults may have a weekly point value that is greater than 0 in the excel spreadsheet, and thus a value greater than 0 in the standings sheet.

I was wondering if we wanted to keep the points in the google app engine overall leaderboard page the same as the points in the excel standings sheet or do we want to reflect the true value of the overall points in the leaderboard page (i.e. use 0 when calculating the overall points for a default).
