Release Notes: 13 March 2026
Quick update on what shipped this week and what's coming next.
Monday: Opening Round Update
Opening round data has been imported. All results, stats, and upcoming games are up to date for Round 1 of the 2026 AFL season.
Thursday: New Version Released
Weighted results bug fix
We found and fixed a bug where "Last Season" (2025) and "Last 30 Days" data was still appearing in weighted results even when a user selected a date range that didn't include those periods, for example 2023–2024.
Weighted results now only contain data sources that fall within your selected year range. If your search is 2023–2024, context sources like Last Season and Last 30 Days are excluded entirely from the calculation, not just hidden.
Seasons filter moved to the top
We moved the "From Season" and "To Season" filters higher in both Single and SGM search. Turns out people adjust the year range far more than we expected, so it now sits right below the player name field where it's easier to reach.
New Search fully resets
Previously, clicking "New Search" could carry over settings from the previous search, like the selected year range, opposition, or venue. That's now fixed. New Search resets every field back to its default state so you always start fresh.
Weight scaling extended to 1000%
The maximum weight multiplier has been increased from 200% to 1000%, with the default staying at 100%. This gives you much finer control when you want to heavily boost or downplay a particular data source in your weighted results.
In Development
We've completed data extraction, loading, and testing for marks into our database. We're aiming to release marks support next week once we've had a chance to fully test it with over 100 real-world tests against live data.
