I've been messing around with a monster advancing program. For some reason it gives some monsters more then +1 to CR for the Advanced template.
For example adding the template to a goblin should take it from CR 1/3 to 1/2 correct?
This program however is saying that an advanced goblin is CR 2.
After a little more testing it seems that it says any advanced monster with a base CR of under 1 is made into a CR 2 creature.
I'm not sure if this is the program's inability to deal with fractions or am I missing something (It is pretty late in Australia... yes that will be my excuse if I'm missing something obvious).

Correct. Increasing a monster whose CR is below 1 increases it by 1 increment per increase.
Here is an example straight from the Bestiary: Fire beetles (CR 1/3s) with the advanced template become CR 1/2s (mining beetles or flash beetles) according to their advancement information.

Guess it's just a problem with the program then.
What program is it?
It's a program my friend wrote for his first year programming assignment. Seems it still has some bugs.
