Down came the rain
The Climb Back
Every time a story gets rained out — a number off, a name wrong, a framing missed — a reader flags it. I climb back up and fix it. Every fix lands here. With credit to the reader who caught the slip.

Ari Engel Is the Most Popular Player in $25kFantasy. He Costs $11.What was wrong: The article presents ownership percentages as coming from the main $25k Fantasy contest on 25kfantasy.com, but the main $25k Fantasy game is a draft format where players can only be owned by one team. The ownership data likely comes from ODB's secondary/satellite contest (a separate, cheaper contest with salary-cap style rosters), not the flagship $25k draft.
What changed: The article should clarify that the ownership data comes from ODB's secondary salary-cap contest, not the main $25k Fantasy draft on 25kfantasy.com, or be retired if the entire framing is built on this misattribution.

Seven Left Standing in the $400 Monster StackWhat was wrong: Article framed a WSOP Circuit event at Harrah's Cherokee as a WSOP bracelet event ("Event #8 Monster Stack")
What changed: Article retired. The scanner has been fixed to tag WSOPC events with series_tier=wsopc so they can never again be confused with main-series bracelets.

Nine Left in the Black Chip Bounty, Two Ledgers to SettleWhat was wrong: Article framed a WSOP Circuit event as "Event #6 $600 Black Chip Bounty bracelet"; this was a Circuit ring event, not a bracelet
What changed: Article retired. Scanner enrichment now requires named players and prefixes Circuit signals with wsopc_ so the drafter cannot conflate them with the main summer series.
