Why might you rate Bostons in Albuquerque questionable? A quick check will show that's BLZBUBs team from Fox and Hound and formerly Coaches. We meet there 3 or 4 times a month. Unfortunately, Bostons just lost Buzztime so we'll have to find another Thursday locale.

Well,as you know, scores coming from any bar close enough to Sante Fe are questionable until someone tells us otherwise.

The group at Ohares played the east feed cheating trick last night for playback so yes ALL scores from your area are questionable until someone fixes the BWW in Sante Fe. Maybe you would like to get on that by making a call to BT, to take the cloud of possible bogus scores away from NM.

Since its four weeks in a row now, it seems very likely they're cheating. Although there is so much repeat content in Playback these days, there's at least a slight possibility its legit.

If they are cheating, its even more baffling why they're not doing it for Ask It Already too. :?

My daughter and I play Playback practically every week, and there are some repeat questions, but not enough of them to warrant an almost perfect bar score every week. Bottom line, they have to be cheating. I have seen how the local AZ cheat Rogue (or any of his 20 other screen names) works his time zone magic, and this looks like the same M.O.

And back to the Thursday Six game. I am going to talk to my team Tuesday and work on getting something set up for Thursday Six. I will post here with ideas so we can get something going.

P.S. Any teams deemed to be "questionable" (aka cheating bastards) will not be recognized and be removed from competition.

Diablo says he and Ken Z are legit at Bostons (or where ever they now play) on Thur so that's good enough for me. I will edit the earlier post.

You can include BWW Gaithersburg MD in the challenge, though we don't play every single Thur.

My one thought on the challenge is shipping a trophy around, possibly every month, might be a bit too much. Maybe 2 or 3 months?

Indeed, Ken Z, myself, Fred (Duff), and a few others from our core Showdown team do play Six regularly on Thursdays, and are absolutely legit. Quite proud of our 3 #1 National finishes this year. And an obscure fact: the very last Thursday game before the split (Feb 2012), Duff, Jax, and I pulled off a #1 finish at Coaches. That started our interest in getting together for Six fairly regularly.

Unfortunately, Bostons is dropping Buzztime (they lost their liquor license lease in February and have been struggling to obtain another; the owner said he couldn't afford Buzztime until he gets things back on track).

To further complicate the mess in Albuquerque, Fox and Hound is dropping Buzztime nation-wide. Our 2 regular premium game locations have both dropped Buzztime within 10 days of each other. We're still looking at other options. We'll let folks know where we end up. It's possible the Showdown locale will be different than where we play Six. A Thursday Six competition of some sort sounds like fun! If you can accommodate the Albuquerque folks possibly needing to switch locations, with pre-game notice of course.

And BTW, the reason we play Thursday Six and not Wednesday is my schedule. I work 110 miles from ABQ, and only get into town on the weekends. I have every other Friday off, so on those weeks, I get down to ABQ on Thursday and we usually play together.

Diablo, sorry to hear about losing your locations. If any team signs up and needs to change location, just PM me before the next game and I will make the change.

west park station will play.

i would suggest that you have to play at least three weeks to qualify for the win. this will allow our teams and others to take a week off from time to time. it will also prevent a team from playing just the first week if the game turns out to be an easy one.

That sounds fair, if we drop the low score of the month (or no score). Anyone else have any comments on this?

IDJIT5500, where is west park station located?

Mudee, you can find out the location of West Park Station if you look at the #1 ranked Thur SIX bar as listed in the 2nd post of this thread. They won again last night, you might as well just send the trophy to them now.

We have the 1, 2 and 3 ranked teams in the tourney, how about B52s, Runyuns, BWW Kent, Brewstirs, Adams Mill,Sand Bar?
Bogarts, Leo's and Rockin Pancakes all from CA?
Torrey Pines or BWW in LV?

it is located in cleveland on the west side of town. it is a very nice place and it is usually ok for trivia. we don't play there on friday because it gets too crowded. it is located in a traditionally irish neighborhood of western cleveland. the menu is good with selections for american, irish, and italian food. the team has generally been pretty happy with the place.

The Albuquerque crew talked about a Thursday Six tourney. Our consensus was that we don't play consistently week-to-week, so we'd probably not enter. If the rules allowed the top 3 performances or something from a given 5 or 6 week period, we'd be in better shape and might reconsider.

And FYI, we settled in at Black Angus this week, after we lost our 2 leading locations this month (Bostons and Fox and Hound). We nipped West Park Station Thursday night by 400 points for 1st place, not a bad debut for our new location. And for the recored, we may play some Thursdays at the BWW on the West Side ABQ. What can I say, we're a fickle bunch. :)

OK folks. The six challenge starts this coming Thursday 7/3. The lowest score (or no score) will be dropped. In order to save shiiping a traveling trophy monthly, the scores will be averaged after 3 months of play and the top average will be the quarterly winner. I have the trophy designed and will be firing up the CNC plasma cutter in the next few days to make it. It will be powder coated and have a place on the base for a quarterly winner decal. Pics to come shortly.

Wow, a custom made CNC trophy, very slick.

1 question on the scoring of the tourney. So is it the lowest score of each month will be dropped or you can drop any 3 scores in the 3 month period?

5 Thursdays in July, 4 in August and Sept.
