Same here. I never expect to get the current day's content until the following day. That way I'm not anxious and disappointed when it doesn't come out until the middle of the night here on the East Coast.

The file is being updated now - I downloaded new projections and they're pretty screwy - some are just for the week, some for the year... I imagine over the next hour or so they'll be good to go. ... or at least in the morning...

It's odd that the Trade dominator will pick up the updated weekly player values on Tuesday, but Lineup Dominator will only pick them up on Thursday. Does it really require an update of software version to pickup the new player projections....

Given Trade dominator is a subset of the Lineup Dominator, I'd rather not keep two files up to date with my league rosters, etc....

Bruce Henderson...you out there?

I asked Bruce basically the same question earlier via PM -

The players don't start practicing for the next week until Wednesday, so it is hard to get much information on the players before then. There are also two sets of projections, one for the current week and one for the forward weeks, so it takes a little while to compile these.

I don't know how the "trade values" are compiled, but it appears to be a completely different process than the one for compiling the "rest of the year" stats for the LD.

I believe it's pretty straightforward.Trade Dominator values come from the Top 250 forward.Lineup Dominator values come from adjusted projections and adjusted SoS.Dodds consistently states that all of his weekly projections start with the game predictor, which is the precursor to the projections.

Maybe this will help you understand the process a little better, and why it seems like it takes so long. I thought this was a great reply by David:

QUOTE(David Dodds @ Sep 21 2006, 11:10 PM) It's not really possible to get everything we do out earlier. We hit some bigtime snags the last two weeks on the Lineup Dominator that will hopefully be smoothed out which should have everything posted by 7-8 pm PT going forward. But that's as good as we can be to do the analysis the way we want to do it.Bottom line is a lot of our analysis takes time. I can't speak for what other sites do, but I think they mail a lot of the analysis in.- I spend 6 hours to simulate the games (Game Predictor).- I spend another 7 hours to create the weekly projections.- I then incorporate all of that with Bruce Henderson for the lineup dominator (another 90 minutes). The first real practice of the week happens on Thusday. This is the first time anyone that appears as questionable would even try and practice. To release things way before then would be guessing at a lot of injuries that have us constantly tweaking things. There is a reason no other sites do Top 200 forward lists, make their projections add up to reality, produce a LineUp Dominator, etc Those efforts personally kill me as I put in 16+ hour days on Wednesday and Thursday.I am not complaining here. I like what I do. But I would rather produce a quality product and do it right than hurry to release garbage. And to do these things right, they take a lot of time.

This timeline would stink only if your lineups are due on Thursday....I know some leagues they have to be in early, but many of the injury reports are not even settled.
