Update! Error Corrected for Juniors and Seniors Divisions

As reported by many users on our forums, the 2012 VGCS Winter Battle Rankings for the Juniors and Seniors Divisions were a bit wonky with ratings appearing one place but not another. This seems to be an error that has been corrected. From TPCI via the PGL:

“Briefly after the 2012 VGCS Winter Battle Junior Division and Senior Division rankings went live, some of the names of the competitors did not appear that should have. This issue has been corrected, and now all players should be showing up correctly. If you expected to see your name in the rankings but didn’t find it, check again now. This issue did not afffect any players in the Masters Division.
Thanks for your understanding!”

Congratulations to those players whose rankings were updated!
