GRIFF just asked me if I can be at Time Out on Feb. 26th

“Uh, I might be able to. My trip to Louisville was cancelled.”

“Good. I won’t be here.”

“That’s kind of mean.”

“No! I signed up for the McCarthy Cup and I won’t be here the first week. It will be just you and IDIOT.”

I think you can’t go ahead and mark us down for a dropped score on Feb. 26.

BWW-Blacksburg will fill our usual role of cannon fodder for the big boys and girls.

Thanks.

Rumor has it that the high-profile free agent, GYPSY, is coveted by both sites.

Has TIMUR taken note that the proper name of the Hanover IL (41.58N, 88.09W) site isn't Time Out, but Time Out West? As opposed to KC's Time Out, in Evansville (37.58N, 87.33W)? Or the simple, elegant Time Out, located in St Louis (38.37N, 87.33W)?

The geography can been confusing, but eventually it'll all resolve at the quantum level: not East or West, North or South, but Quark-like, Up or Down.

Speaking of Evansville, Indiana, I caught up with RHINO this Christmas. He and Jess have departed the US, and acquired a license in rural England. Their pub hosts a live trivia game. Dave invited me to drop in - neglecting to inform me, where in rural England their pub is located.


Griff: He has a facebook page and here is the location: https://lincolnshirereporter.co.uk/2017 ... nsborough/

First, thanks to MERKIN for posting last week's scores, and my apologies for getting this out a little late. Get stuck at work longer than I had hoped today.

Second, congratulations to the Fellowship for last night's win, in a game that for a little more than 2/3 of the competing teams was easier than last week's slog.

Now, the standings:

Since, as has been mentioned, the Fellowship won the game last night, they also came in first among McCarthy Cup Teams:

Just a quick note here: I understand from another thread that there were issues with Showdown in at least some bars last night. I'm still at work, and will be for a while longer, so I won't be able to focus on this for a few hours. I did notice from the NTN site that the scores were quite low for a lot of bars, suggesting this was more widespread than just the couple of sites that have mentioned issues thus far.

If your site did have issues last night (beyond the people who have already posted in the other thread), please let me know, either by posting here (or in the other thread), or by pm'ing me or sending me an e-mail.

So, as of now, three teams have reported problems during their Showdown games last night. In addition, three of our competing teams have 0 points, according to the NTN site, which may well be attributable to the glitch. A further half dozen or so teams have scores well below their normal output, although last night's final question was fairly difficult, so I don't want to make any assumptions on the reason for those scores.

I'm going to give folks a little more time to report any problems at their site, and I'll make a decision tomorrow on whether or not to throw out last night's results.

--Rick

P.S. If anyone is seeing teams reporting problems on BadBart, please pass that along to me as well. Merci.

Based on what Bo said in the other thread (Stadium Cafe has a score in BB but none in SD); it is likely that Stadium Cafe was affected by the problem.

Time Out West reported that they had no television monitor questions during Showdown (screen remained blue). They were able to play on their phones.

Speaking solely for myself, this is the first time in 20+years of NTN-dom I've seen a problem quite like this one, with different variants of the problem in different locations. What I'm beginning to wonder about is what happens to McCarthy if this continues to happen, here and there, in weeks to come, and what can Buzztime do about it?

I had sent this comment to Anon:

One symptom of Tuesday's problem is that it seemed to affect the TV screens most. So locations with the old boards, seemed to have the worst effect (Mad River, Blue Goose, Stadium). At Teasers, we rebooted the whole wi-fi, which may be the reason we got the game back partially though. As I wrote in Scar, though, even our "lower'" actual scores (35K) were overwritten by 1500 and the like.

Wednesday night all was fine at Teasers.

Was told that Stadium Cafe actually suffered a power outage that affected the entire strip mall. Could this have been caused by a fault in the BT CPU? Perhaps. :roll: :lol:

I waited as long as I could to give people time to weigh in. So far, three bars have confirmed having their scores affected by the problems on Tuesday night. Of the three other bars that put up zeros in Showdown, BO tells us that Stadium was hit by a (probably) unrelated power outage, and the other two--Time Out in St. Louis, and Blue Goose--did not record a score in Brainbuster either, suggesting they may have taken the night off.

So that leaves us with three bars out of 27 that seem to have had issues Tuesday night. That does not meet the "all or most of the system" bar set in the rules, so I will be counting Tuesday night's scores. I sympathize with the teams that had the problems, but that's why we have a drop.

So, now the delayed results from Tuesday night:

I'd like to congratulate my teammates for their overall win on Tuesday. I would love to take some credit, but I took the night off (so I guess I can take some credit for not pulling them off of any right answers). Below is what the NTN site shows for Tuesday:

1 BWW-Crystal City (Arlington, VA) 52858
2 The Fellowship (Red Fox Grille, Cuyahoga Falls, OH) 50475
3 Tipsy Coyote (Scottsdale, AZ) 47068
4 Danny K's (Orange, CA) 45513
5 Houlihan's (Westbury, NY) 44512
6 Scooter's (Las Vegas, NV) 44498
7 Pocket's Pool and Pub (Tallahassee, FL) 43989
8 Stained Glass Pub (Elkridge, MD) 41961
9 Big Guys (Winnipeg, MB) 41251
10 Cedar Cottage (Vancouver, BC) 37871
11 Kzew Krew (BWW, Kalamazoo, MI) 35654
12 Time Out West (Hanover Park, IL) 35097
13 Buster's Bar (Ottawa, ON) 35002
14 West Park Station (Cleveland, OH) 31089
15 Teaser's (Chicago, IL) 29358
16 BWW-Lemmon Avenue (Dallas, TX) 27008
17 Tailgate (Minneapolis, MN) 24501
18 Meriden AOH (Meriden, CT) 23400
19 BWW-OKC (Oklahoma City, OK) 22275
20 Old Barn (Portland, OR) 18471
21 BWW-Blacksburg (Blacksburg, VA) 16802
22 Four Corners (Chapel Hill, NC) 13334
23 Mad River (New York, NY) 1690
24 KC's Time Out (Evansville, IN) 83
25 Time Out (St. Louis, MO) 0
26 Stadium Café (Addison, TX) 0
27 Blue Goose (Sharonville, OH) 0

Those results still leave The Fellowship atop the total points standings after three weeks:

1 The Fellowship (Red Fox Grille, Cuyahoga Falls, OH) 160380
2 BWW-Crystal City (Arlington, VA) 154483
3 Danny K's (Orange, CA) 149793
4 Tipsy Coyote (Scottsdale, AZ) 142494
5 Houlihan's (Westbury, NY) 134570
6 Big Guys (Winnipeg, MB) 132022
7 Stained Glass Pub (Elkridge, MD) 130854
8 Pocket's Pool and Pub (Tallahassee, FL) 129672
9 Teaser's (Chicago, IL) 122748
10 Buster's Bar (Ottawa, ON) 120005
11 Kzew Krew (BWW, Kalamazoo, MI) 118264
12 Time Out West (Hanover Park, IL) 115978
13 Cedar Cottage (Vancouver, BC) 114245
14 Tailgate (Minneapolis, MN) 113679
15 West Park Station (Cleveland, OH) 113401
16 Scooter's (Las Vegas, NV) 107933
17 Old Barn (Portland, OR) 102045
18 BWW-OKC (Oklahoma City, OK) 98886
19 BWW-Blacksburg (Blacksburg, VA) 95011
20 Four Corners (Chapel Hill, NC) 91181
21 BWW-Lemmon Avenue (Dallas, TX) 90937
22 Mad River (New York, NY) 88356
23 Meriden AOH (Meriden, CT) 72219
24 Stadium Café (Addison, TX) 67793
25 Time Out (St. Louis, MO) 61423
26 KC's Time Out (Evansville, IN) 57728
27 Blue Goose (Sharonville, OH) 40247

But, especially with the problems from this Tuesday, it is scores with the low-score-drop factored in that really matter. In those standings, The Fellowship is maintaining a narrow lead over Crystal City, and things are quite tight around the cut-off for advancing to single elimination:

1 The Fellowship (Red Fox Grille, Cuyahoga Falls, OH) 110512
2 BWW-Crystal City (Arlington, VA) 109964
3 Danny K's (Orange, CA) 104280

So far as I know, the Blue Goose had no issues--but, then again, I wasn't there. After people who told me they would participate didn't participate the first two weeks, and we only managed to get 4 boxes in each week, I pretty much threw in the towel, and I'm pretty sure no-one else showed up, either. I won't officially have us withdraw, but it's pretty obvious we've been eliminated.

Of the three other bars that put up zeros in Showdown, BO tells us that Stadium was hit by a (probably) unrelated power outage, and the other two--Time Out in St. Louis, and Blue Goose--did not record a score in Brainbuster either, suggesting they may have taken the night off.

Another difficult game means that for most of our teams, our last week of qualifying proved to be a drop. There were a handful of scores that suggest systems issues (I understand that Big Guys had problems, but it didn't end up hurting their seeding very much). So without further ado:

This week's results were pretty grim, with even the leading scorer (the Fellowship) using this week's score as a drop:

1 The Fellowship (Red Fox Grille, Cuyahoga Falls, OH) 46616
2 Danny K's (Orange, CA) 42725
3 Time Out West (Hanover Park, IL) 41583
4 Tipsy Coyote (Scottsdale, AZ) 40443
5 BWW-Blacksburg (Blacksburg, VA) 39756
6 Scooter's (Las Vegas, NV) 39114
7 BWW-OKC (Oklahoma City, OK) 39109
8 West Park Station (Cleveland, OH) 38676
9 Mad River (New York, NY) 38434
10 Stained Glass Pub (Elkridge, MD) 37968
11 Buster's Bar (Ottawa, ON) 36891
12 Houlihan's (Westbury, NY) 36370
13 Pocket's Pool and Pub (Tallahassee, FL) 35316
14 Kzew Krew (BWW, Kalamazoo, MI) 35199
15 BWW-Lemmon Avenue (Dallas, TX) 33180
16 Teaser's (Chicago, IL) 31238
17 Tailgate (Minneapolis, MN) 30933
18 Time Out (St. Louis, MO) 30420
19 Stadium Café (Addison, TX) 26789
20 BWW-Crystal City (Arlington, VA) 25226
21 Old Barn (Portland, OR) 23815
22 Meriden AOH (Meriden, CT) 17696
23 Four Corners (Chapel Hill, NC) 6148
24 Cedar Cottage (Vancouver, BC) 781
25 Big Guys (Winnipeg, MB) 0
26 KC's Time Out (Evansville, IN) 0
27 Blue Goose (Sharonville, OH) 0

This leaves our final, total four-week scores as:

1 The Fellowship (Red Fox Grille, Cuyahoga Falls, OH) 206996
2 Danny K's (Orange, CA) 192518
3 Tipsy Coyote (Scottsdale, AZ) 182937
4 BWW-Crystal City (Arlington, VA) 179709
5 Houlihan's (Westbury, NY) 170940
6 Stained Glass Pub (Elkridge, MD) 168822
7 Pocket's Pool and Pub (Tallahassee, FL) 164988
8 Time Out West (Hanover Park, IL) 157561
9 Buster's Bar (Ottawa, ON) 156896
10 Teaser's (Chicago, IL) 153986
11 Kzew Krew (BWW, Kalamazoo, MI) 153463
12 West Park Station (Cleveland, OH) 152077
13 Scooter's (Las Vegas, NV) 147047
14 Tailgate (Minneapolis, MN) 144612
15 BWW-OKC (Oklahoma City, OK) 137995
16 BWW-Blacksburg (Blacksburg, VA) 134767
17 Big Guys (Winnipeg, MB) 132022
18 Mad River (New York, NY) 126790
19 Old Barn (Portland, OR) 125860
20 BWW-Lemmon Avenue (Dallas, TX) 124117
21 Cedar Cottage (Vancouver, BC) 115026
22 Four Corners (Chapel Hill, NC) 97329
23 Stadium Café (Addison, TX) 94582
24 Time Out (St. Louis, MO) 91843
25 Meriden AOH (Meriden, CT) 89915
26 KC's Time Out (Evansville, IN) 57728
27 Blue Goose (Sharonville, OH) 40247


But the most important standings, and the results that determine qualifying for, and seeding in, our single elimination phase are as follows:

1 The Fellowship (Red Fox Grille, Cuyahoga Falls, OH) 160380
2 BWW-Crystal City (Arlington, VA) 154483
3 Danny K's (Orange, CA) 149793
4 Tipsy Coyote (Scottsdale, AZ) 142494
5 Houlihan's (Westbury, NY) 134570
6 Big Guys (Winnipeg, MB) 132022
7 Stained Glass Pub (Elkridge, MD) 130854
8 Pocket's Pool and Pub (Tallahassee, FL) 129672
9 Scooter's (Las Vegas, NV) 128724
10 Mad River (New York, NY) 125100
11 Teaser's (Chicago, IL) 124628
12 Time Out West (Hanover Park, IL) 122464
13 Buster's Bar (Ottawa, ON) 121894
14 West Park Station (Cleveland, OH) 120988
15 Tailgate (Minneapolis, MN) 120111
16 Kzew Krew (BWW, Kalamazoo, MI) 118264
17 BWW-Blacksburg (Blacksburg, VA) 117965
18 BWW-OKC (Oklahoma City, OK) 115720
19 Cedar Cottage (Vancouver, BC) 114245
20 Old Barn (Portland, OR) 107389
21 BWW-Lemmon Avenue (Dallas, TX) 97109
22 Stadium Café (Addison, TX) 94582
23 Time Out (St. Louis, MO) 91843
24 Four Corners (Chapel Hill, NC) 91181
25 Meriden AOH (Meriden, CT) 72219
26 KC's Time Out (Evansville, IN) 57728
27 Blue Goose (Sharonville, OH) 40247


So, our round of sixteen will be:

1. The Fellowship
16. Kzoo Krew

2. BWW-Crystal City
15. Tailgate

3. Danny K's
14. West Park Station

4. Tipsy Coyote
13. Buster's

5. Houlihan's
12. Time Out West

6. Big Guys
11. Teaser's

7. Stained Glass Pub
10. Mad River

8. Pocket's
9. Scooter's

I'm particularly intrigued by the 1-16 matchup between two teams that have both won multiple major tournaments.

Congratulations to all who qualified, particularly the Fellowship for snagging the top seed, and thanks to the other teams who participated.

I don't know if anyone has been re-posting my results notes to the various fora that I am not part of (BadBart, Facebook, etc.), but I would appreciate it if someone could post this one, so that teams who are only active on those fora know where they stand. Thanks.

Unfortunately for the second week, KC time out did not get the showdown game. We got all games before and after but not that one. Probably would not affect our placing in the top 16, but still a disappointment
