I'm trying to decipher everything you are saying as best as I can...the error occurred through the webpage. I rarely use the app and if I do it is only to check the race results and to ensure efforts were saved. The issue happened with all cyclists for all sections. Cost me around 30s for each cyclist as I had 2 less efforts than max and they were not allocated properly. At least it's not a Cat A or Grand Tour race where I lost a lot of points and cash. It will probably cost me about 400 points between the race and GC...points I could use battling for a Div 1 spot.
AA mentioned something about setting 2 cyclists to Leader and it crashing the efforts...is that a known issue? I know I have been finger happy in the past and have over exerted my riders a time or two. I have forgotten to remove my riders from free role, but I can't say that I have ever set all of them to domestique or multiple riders to leader.
You stated about letting you know that the efforts didn't save, but I can look at the efforts minutes before the race and they are there. They are not lost until the race process occurs. It's not the bug that we had in the beta when teams could not set their efforts, where they were immediately reverting back to Free-Watcher.
Oh, you were correct in that I do not have efforts for future races. I typically enter my efforts for the next race around 6:30am and 1:30pm Eastern Time in the US. Might be a slight difference on the weekends. Will have to do this soon as I have some week long camping trips planned this summer.
It wasn't a connection issue either. Both desktops I use are wired directly to the router. If the connection is interrupted for some reason, the web pages won't load. If the CFF site times out cause I wasn't active in a certain period of time, it just reverts to the sign in page. This iritates me too when I've entered the efforts and they are lost because it timed out, but that's usually my fault and I know that the efforts weren't saved so I reenter them.
Hopefully we can figure out what the issue is as it occurs 2 to 3 times a season. Thanks guys for trying to solve the mystery!
