Velociraptor Nov 2019 8:10am, 26 Nov 2019 44,056 posts	0 Velociraptor Is there a mechanism to prevent a player from doing a training session on a Monday morning, uploading it for the current game because it might affect the outcome of that game then, when it doesn't, deleting it and uploading it again later for the new game? Or is that a legitimate tactic?

Velociraptor Nov 2019 8:19am, 26 Nov 2019 44,057 posts	0 Velociraptor It occurred to me yesterday as a possibility, and if it's occurred to me as a relatively WSW rookie it's probably been done.

Vancouver Jogger Nov 2019 8:56am, 26 Nov 2019 4,168 posts	0 Vancouver Jogger If I'd known you could do that... I'd assumed that you wouldn't be able to do that - last week logged an 8.7 mile run on Monday morning and still lost, this week logged a 7.7 mile run and won. Definitely not cricket
Sam Jelfs Nov 2019 8:59am, 26 Nov 2019 500 posts	0 Sam Jelfs Must say I have always been a little suspicious about the amount of people who for some reason on a monday are only able to upload their morning activities at 12.01pm, but can upload fine the rest of the week... It just feels a bit cynical to me.
Wriggling Snake Nov 2019 9:07am, 26 Nov 2019 24,748 posts	0 Wriggling Snake There is nothing wrong with that. If you believe you have won your game, upload it after 12.00, if you believe you have lost it, upload after 12.00. Yesterday I ran at 11.00, I can If I like, thinking I needed to upload one more run to win my current game, so I uploaded it straight away, as it turned I needn't have, c'est La Vie.

fetcheveryone Nov 2019 9:10am, 26 Nov 2019 23,049 posts	0 fetcheveryone WS - that’s nit quite what Vrap is suggesting. The advantage is in using that run before 12, then deleting it and uploading again after 12.
chunkywizard Nov 2019 9:14am, 26 Nov 2019 6,898 posts	0 chunkywizard Fetch, can you not use the timestamp of the run in the activity file, ie if you finished before 12:00 it can only count as before the cut off? Or does that just cause issue as you don't know the timezone of the run?
