    Grading error in moneyball shootout

    2 nights ago I picked Towson +20 against George Mason. The game was postponed and the pick was graded a push as is the custom in SBR contests. Towson and George Mason rescheduled the game for this afternoon. I did not wish to place a pick on Towson in the rescheduled game because the team was up all night driving through a snowstorm to get to George Mason and didn't even get hotel rooms until well into the AM. It appears, however, that after the rescheduled game had already started (and possibly after the game had finished) SBR erased the push on my original pick and placed a bet for me on the rescheduled game. George Mason clobbered the tired Towson team by 28 and the pick lost.

    SBR should have either no-actioned my Towson +20 bet like a real sportsbook would, or graded it as a push the way postponed games have been graded in past contests. It was not fair for a pick to be placed for me on a game I did not wish to bet on as there was a big difference in Towson's ability to play their best in the rescheduled game.

    To add to my OP, I am now 100% sure the Towson pick was transferred to the rescheduled game well after the rescheduled game had already taken place.

    I took a look at my contest standing before I left my place at 6 Pacific time (a few hours after the game had finished) and I needed to win my pick on the BC/Duke game to have 12.6 total units. I won the BC bet, but I now have 11.5 units. The fact that SBR canceled my push and replaced it with a pick that already lost is incredibly unfair.

    In past contests postponed games were graded as pushes.

    Technically any pick can't be transferred from one day to another, and to act accordingly to our standards your pick is been regraded as a push.
