Just a heads-up, in the last two weeks we’ve seen about two dozen new affiliates generated with a 9 character member ID, a letter followed by a 1 and 7 other numbers.
This appears to be an issue on the membership system, exactly what we’re going to do about it is still under discussion. There are probably multiple places, like the tournament upload files, where it expects an 8 character field size.
So far it appears just two tournaments have been rated by these new affiliates, so we may be able to back them all out, if that’s the course of action that is chosen.
If you happen to have created an affiliate recently, you may be hearing from the office about it soon.
