Have a look at Doubles: https://igpmanager.com/play/?url=igp-halloffame/doubles
The top 6 have exactly 255 Doubles. This got to be a bug!

Same for Triples. Dudek seems to have more than 255 Triples.

I came across this, cause 255 is kind of 'magic number' in IT:
255(dec) = FF(hex) = 1111 1111(bi)

You migt be right Cole :) by finding a very peculiar compiling code exception.

@ Jack Basford :
To reinforce Cole's observation i had noticed time ago that same strange  "coincidence" in the Suppliers statistics :
 6 engine suppliers - 3 have exactly 255 Championships
 5 fuel suppliers - 4 have exactly 255 Championships
 5 tyre suppliers - 3 have exactly 255 Championships

And these stats remain unaltered for a couple of months already, regardless all seasons that have ended and supposely should changed those stats.

most likely database related. for example a TINYINT in mysql is stored in 1byte and if unsigned accept value from 0 to 255.

I've fixed the underlying cause, but don't have any way to quickly tally up the totals again for these managers.

Already something Jack :)
We'll keep an eye to see if the stats progress normally from now on, even if there's no way to correct whats behimd.

This is also the same for the suppliers/partners all stopped at 255 championships won.
