Slow questions, didn’t take answers...

I signed off.. We’re watching Showdown, not playing.

This happen to anyone else?

At Mad River, we first noticed something was wrong when we didn't see scores for Brainbuster. Then, the first round of Showdown, screens held on for a very long time. We started to worry the game wouldn't finish, but then some screens in the next round showed up and vanished so quickly that we had trouble knowing what the question was. These erratic time segments continued, but it looked like we would finish the game. Then, the last question (Final Category: "Mooooooo.") was something like: "What breed of cow has red and white markings?" We're a long way from farms here in Manhattan, but we filled in answers, switching until there were only two answers left. Then the screen disappeared and we were at the beginning of "Glory Days." So we'll see if our scores registered tomorrow. I would just place this as one more episode in the forthcoming book, "The Last Days of Buzztime."

Saw no network scores in any game but knew the network was up because of badges registering and the sports game had more than one question from the last couple of days events. SD was slow for us as well with questions staying up too long but the breaks between rounds were next to nil to make up for it. We finished the game on time but no rankings. Non-tablet location for those keeping score.

There were no rankings for the entire day. I know because most of the day was wasted trying to play. The synch was also bad on several games.

No scores from last night are posted on the website. Just like nobody played.
Is anybody working at Buzztime?

No rankings for Lunchtime at B-52, nor for BB/SD at the Tailgate.


Surf's up, Dude.

Same thing in Northridge. No rankings and glitches throughout Showdown.

For me at Walsh's, various correct answers were not credited (Ganesha, 36-vol natural history, Grieg Piano Concerto, victuals. Then correct answer on Ayrshire did not give points. Was tempted to turn it off, but wanted to see the questions. Brainbuster ran without incident, went home before GD.

Same story @ BWW-Kalamazoo. Very slow, lots of correct answers not registering--and we got to see the category for the final round but never saw the question before Glory Daze kicked in.

Did anyone see the second BIG TEN SCHOOLS category question?

The first was which Big 10 school is less than a mile from its state's capitol building? Correct answer was Wisconsin of course. Wrong answers were particularly silly: Northwestern, Penn St, Michigan and Kentucky.

The second Big Ten question was something like "Which university is known for its programs in aeronautics and aerospace engineering?". The answer was Purdue. Minnesota was the only distractor I remember.
