Administration told me that I could click a button and get my old job back, so obviously they are clueless. I guess I'm playing the year at st. Peter's, but I'm also dropping them and 2 others after this. I also got no answer on why my camp, which I scheduled late on the 10th, wasn't scheduled to run until 2am on the 12th. It should have been the 11th. Add to this the fact I lost in the first round as a 1 seed, 2 seed, and 3 seed in the last 4 weeks and i realize it is time to cut back and see how much I miss those teams.

i have two 1v64 game losses (which i think are in general, moderately worse than a generic 1 seed vs 16 seed loss). so you are in good company! it can definitely be frustrating though. but i can't complain too much. plenty of luck on the other side of that!

i hope you have a good break, even just a partial one! i have made the mistake of waiting too long, getting too burnt. i think its much better to stay on the other side (having too few teams, wanting more). hope you get a nice break and come back with some new inspiration!

And kc thanks for the effort. I appreciate it. I won't ask angmar to change, his team now, I'll live with it.

Piman,
Absolutely ask for your GCU team back. No one actually thinks you'd ever willingly move to freakin Saint Peter's.

I'll add to this. I tried to run a private camp at ucla. Set it up to run at 2am last night. It didn't run but says I can still cancel it and will run at 2am tonight, a day late.

With the camp, it always does that if you cancel it and rerun it. All you have to do is cancel it again, and then rerun, and it puts you back on normal schedule. So I'm guessing you cancelled it the first time, maybe to be sure you had your settings exactly how you wanted.

so for example.... 1) set the camp, shows run time at 11pm. 2) cancelled it to double check your camp settings were correct, re-run camp, and now it shows 11pm the NEXT day. 3) if you cancel it a second time, and re-run, it will then put you back on the normal 11pm time frame for that day.

it's been that way since I returned in 2017. Why? I do not know. But I've helped others figure it out that are in the same situation

angmar in a classy move offered me grand canyon back. I have put a ticket in, but have not gotten any response from cs. We'll see. If I get them back great and if not I wish angmar luck.

You're a good guy, angmar.

I hope they can fix the glitch.

Hey, now... can we get just a modicum of respect for the Peacocks, who just went to the S16 as a C+ Sim AI team?

Lol, that's funny and true!
The coach of Saint Peters' first round NT opponent there in Season 120--> the guy was kind of a real douche who deserved to lose as the #2 seed...!!! The coach is a total punk, and I'm glad he's never won a championship! He's an attention hog who always tries to make witty comments but is never funny! Screw him!

I've sent 5 messages to cs in the last day and have not heard back for over a day. I understand yesterday was Sunday but...

I know what could've happened regarding the OP...... there was a time where I was assigned a new D3 team that I didn't apply for. And p6543 sitemailed me and he had applied for it. There's a thread about it, I'd have no idea how to find it.

but it was during the change to SPORTSHUB. so I'm not sure if that ever happens since. Just a thought

I was going to post, but dogg beat me to it. It did indeed happen to him and CS pulled him after he explained what happened. I don't think he even had a team in that world (Knight) at that time. It was during some kind of update or something tech-related but CS helped him out. Hope it works out for you.

This might be the most serious bug I've ever heard of with this game.

If WIS can now just randomly decide for us what jobs we"ll apply for, that'll probably end my 18 year run as a WIS customer.

This is definitely the craziest thing I have seen. I don't know why they aren't taking a serious deep dive into why this happened.

I've sent in a ticket as well to see if CS will give Piman his team back. Thought it was very odd that he'd leave a stacked team like he did, especially one that he's coached for so long.

very cool angmar!

A big thanks to Angmar. For those interested, here is my interaction with C.S.:

• To whom to may concern,

This is a new one for me. I have taken a job I didn't apply for. I didn't even open the job application page yesterday. I checked my other teams quickly and see nothing amiss. Is there any way I can get grand canyon back?

• There is a button on the job page for the world that lets you get the team back yourself as long as nobody else has applied for the job. If anyone else has applied, you'll have to submit an application to win it back.

Thanks for playing on WhatIfSports.

• Where is this button? I've played for 11 years and never heard of this.

• It's under the Office menu if you're in the world. If you were previously in a world, you can click the world name from the locker page or pick it in the team drop-down from within the game

Thanks for playing on WhatIfSports.

• But I was just given the job. I can't just take the old job back. I would need administration to do that for me.

• And if I can't get grand canyon back please just take me out of the world and give me the season back. I have no interest in coaching st. Peter's. I'd also be dropping a couple of other teams if this becomes the case.

• I see grand canyon went to another coach. Can you please take me out of that world and give me 1 season back. I have no interest in coaching st. Peter's.

• angmar took grand canyon and is willing to give them back. I would like them back. Can we make this happen. Thanks.

So the last I heard from C.S was Sunday afternoon. I think that's more disappointing than losing the team. Also, thanks to all who tried to help me get the team back, it is appreciated.

No need to thank me, just trying to help. I would hope that, given the same situation, most everyone else would try to do the same thing as well.
