Not complaining, but why does it take at least 24-36 hours to get the Vital Fantasy results? I’d think with the AI age and fast data compute power, the results would be available in less than an hour? Are we waiting on a person to crunch numbers with a pencil and paper?

I often wonder the same thing. It would seem that you just enter the results and it would be done. But I don’t know what the system looks like. 

Not just complaining. Offering to help if needed. I end up scoring my own results because curiosity gets the better of me before results are posted.

I would imagine they run a cron that pulls that data X amount of time after the races and parses it then does all the calcs.

And then it takes days after to see how many points the rider scores too.  I miss Pulp.

I just noticed that Coty Schock is scored with 0 points after going 16-22 (6 points)
