    Trying to reuse a 10 year old liner? That's a recipe for trouble. Also it sounds like you were tired, it was late, it was dark and you rushed the install...
    I'd bet those two things are the source of your trouble.

    No, no, the liner is brand new :-)

    However, I agree on the tired/late/rushed being the main culprit on it being out of round... But, the new liner holds fine and nothing is having any issues (except for having more overlap in some places than others).. Just trying to see what sort of issues I can expect, if any, in the future due to the install issue.

    You should be able to re-install a new liner. It's when they've been in the pool for years it becomes a high-risk act.

    Thanks Carl, I guess the real question is, should I feel the need to drain the pool, fix the slight 'oval' shape, then re-install the liner and re-fill the pool just because of this? I mean, what sort of problems would this cause assuming everything else is OK?

    Don't get me wrong, if I need to fix it I will, but if it won't really hurt anything I'd probably hold off until next season.. I just really don't know.
