There should be a way to leech data directly from user battle.net webpage i think, those guys from wellplayed has been using it since the very beginning.
also people should try to live stream UWaterloo vs York this weekend, its gona be exciting.
That's not the reason, read above ^
EtherealDeath outlined the problem pretty well. There is an additional problem w/ timeouts because the sc2ranks site has been particularly slow as of late. As Xeris said, we will play around with some fixes once the todo list reaches that point :|

Ugh, now I can't even submit our 4th guy.
Send an email, we'll look into it and help you out. Sorry you're having troubles!
Sent, all is fixed. Although the site still thinks we're missing one despite it manually put in.

This is a secondary bug that we're going to be working on fixing once all the site features are updated and running once again!
To expand on this (I actually came up with the Charmander idea on a separate CSL stats aggregator that was then implemented in a better way into the CSL page), the problem is that when one registers an account on the CSL page, it only asks for username + id.
Now, it used to be back in October 2010 or so that with that information alone you could find a user's profile on bnet. However, as of aound November-December 2010, Blizzard hid the ability to do this - so it is not usable anymore. However, SC2Ranks had associated username+id with player profiles already, and in its API included a function to find someone's profile by providing username and id as parameters. This doesn't work for everyone - there was some other change in the underlying representation on the Blizzard end of things, so at that time only about 80% of people could be found with this data, which went down over time due to a variety of factors.
As far as I know right now, just having a username and id # most of the time will not allow you to find someone's battle.net profile page. As such, this information is usually insufficient - and results in Charmanders. The only reliable method I know atm is to have the URL link to the player's battle.net or sc2ranks page.
Of course I haven't looked into this for some months, but this is probably mostly still true.
I provided a bnet url but it still makes me a charmander.... strange

Hmm by chance in the database, for individual sets, are the player entries by username rather than a unique player id#? Asking because my record shows up as 4-2 overall, but I have many more games played than that (assuming that this goes into previous seasons since iMpEndymion is at 20-3). Now, I did change my username late last season, so if the stats page is searching by username, that would explain the discrepancy.

I have a question, how do they determine playoffs, seeding and how many teams get in. I have looked on the csl website but couldn't find the information I was looking for.
