I got this email from Shaun:
Hey, I found a small error I thought you might want to be aware of.
The simulation somehow reported a case where Pittsburgh lost all 3 games in regulation but still won the President’s Trophy. This is of course impossible since they are 3 points back of Chicago.
I attached a picture for reference.
This is really interesting. Thank you Shaun. A bug in my code that is triggered so infrequently. What might cause that? Off to see…
While I’ve got you, twenty thousand fellow human beings visited Sports Club Stats yesterday (the most ever). Thanks.

Starting with the 2006-2007 season the NBA changed the tiebreakers so the 3 division winners do not automatically get the top 3 seeds. Instead they where reseeded with the top wildcard to determine seeds 1-4. The site does this part correctly.
Starting with the 2008-2009 (?) season they added the stipulation that when reseeding the top 4, a division winner always takes precedence over the wildcard with the same record. I don’t do this. And it affects the current standings.
Jeremy Halperin pointed this out today (thanks Jeremy). I’m working on fixing it, more to follow.
Update: I believe it is fixed.
Here are the 4 affected teams, using the 50/50 version:

JP clued me in yesterday that for many of the NFL games the simulation had the wrong team as the home team. That means it was giving the wrong team home field advantage. It’s fixed now, but my error caused the site to show numbers up to 11 percentage points off:
I am sorry,
Ken

Thank you. It feels good knowing you think this place is worth supporting.

And thanks Kevin Hartley, Overdeck, and one other I’ve forgotten for figuring out I must be using last years tie breaking rules in time before I had too much egg on my face. (Finally fixed 2 weeks or so ago.)

From BigSoccer:
This is a wacky, wonderful website:

If you’ve been following it for a while it is quite addicting but a bit of a roller coaster ride. Great stats, though.
Thanks David. I aim for wacky and wonderful.

I’ve added CONCACAF and CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying.
Mike gave me the idea months ago, and Alex spurred my on with an email yesterday. Thanks.
I’ll do something for the World Cup when it starts. I don’t plan on getting to the other qualifying groups this time around.

Somethings is broken. I’m off to grab some coffee and then I’ll see whats up. I sound like an addict :)
The historical graphs issue from before is fixed.
[Update: All fixed. The bad numbers this morning where if only 1 team made the playoffs instead of 4]

I’ve been improving the engines underpinnings, to the point where I unintentionally intermingled past weighted data with coin flip data. So, when you look at a team’s weighted chart some of the points are really showing 50/50 data. I probably “improved” other things too.
Things take me longer then I expect. Such is life.
