RKL Changelog

New
Regular Season Awards: Three regular season awards (best team, best performances) have been potsed to the trophy case page. Congrats to the winners!

Improved
Team Page Optimization: Streamlined client-side data processes to help the team profile pages load faster.

Improved
WAR Formula Update: The definition of a replacement-level performance was changed from 80% of the leaguewide median to 90%, better reflecting the 180th-best REL median value in the league. (This should not be changed again; 90% appears to be an accurate definition of replacement-level using prior seasons' data, too.)

New
Playoff Bracket: Added a playoff bracket that is accessible through the standings & rankings page. Links to the bracket will be added elsewhere once the postseason begins.

New
Comparison Tool: Added a new Comparison Tool for users to see how any two players or teams stack up against each other! Team comparisons also feature a couple new stats that are described in the advanced stats glossary.
New
Trophy Case: Added a new Trophy Case page to display league champions, award winners, and All-Stars.
Improved
Navigation: Replaced the "Leaderboards" link with a new "Stats Hub" dropdown menu, which now contains links to Leaderboards and the new Comparison Tool for a more organized layout.

New
Dark Mode: Implemented a site-wide dark mode theme toggle. Click on the sun/moon icon (top right on desktop; top left on mobile) to switch themes. Your preference is saved locally for future visits.

New
All-Star Week: The all-star, rising stars, and GM games have been added to the league schedule and will be assigned dates when available.
New
