We played at Sliders, although we saw no network rankings over the past two nights. We played quite well until the final round, and then bombed one question and very nearly bombed a second. Will just have to try again next week. We also averaged around 40K. We notified a manager at Sliders of the networking problem, and I will make a short visit next Wednesday to see if things have improved... -- RWM |

Hence our crash-and-too-damned-cold-to-ignite in Maryland.
Atlas Pizza should work out to 39927 tonight, thanks to Dunno and Ali (wherever they're sitting) |

Nicely done by Concert Pub on the win last night. Very well-deserved. Last night'll probably be our mulligan for the month. Did pretty well until the last round, though I suspect that might have been the case for a number of teams. |

Twas an interesting game on Thursday, Congrats to Concert Pub. We at Scully's were entertaining changing the team name to Team Brainfart after blowing several questions. But it seems other teams were in the same boat. At least we can drop that score.  Rankings thus far in the competition:

Looking at Sliders BT page there has been no scores reported at all since 2/16. You might need a better location this week. |

Looking at Sliders BT page there has been no scores reported at all since 2/16. You might need a better location this week. Yes I am aware that RWM has no reported scores since 2/17, when I played at Chicago Sams, but I did play at Sliders on the following two nights. We would have only had a bar average of around 40 or 41K anyway, so this would have likely have been the discarded score anyway. I will go to Sliders tonight, maybe just for one game. If they are connected, we will be there tomorrow night. Otherwise we will be at Chicago Sams and will vote on whether to stay there for the remainder of the tournament. I'll post again in a few hours. -- RWM |

Just got a text from my main partner in crime; it appears that Sliders is back online. I did see some of his badges from about an hour ago.  I still want to check it out for myself, but this is much more promising.-- RWM |

Just played two games at Sliders and the network scores appeared just fine. So, barring another calamity, we will be at Sliders tomorrow night. -- RWM |

But being on the side with no competition beyond a handful of teams has ruined trivia on this side. It is bloody awful and you don't seem to understand how bad it truly is. That is why I will continue to comment anytime I feel necessary. When the split ends, or the company folds I will stop.. ✌️ |

Scoring 5780 out of 25000 in the final round, and failing to crack 36K. Fucking disgraceful. Glad Anisa did a little better (1st and 2nd, she insists) Asking which president had no vice prez, and including both Millard Fillmore and Chester Arthur on the list. Also fucking disgraceful But I'll still try again next week. Can't do any worse than tonight. I hope . . . |

We were 7th in the East, with about a 46K average in what seemed to be a tough game. -- RWM |

We were second in the East and we thought it was pretty rough, too. Particularly the matching and the first dozen or so in the speed round. After that we seemed to settle down and we were able to gun through the last ten questions or so. Congrats to Gaithersburg on a well-deserved win in the East. |

Thanks and we were short handed last night. It was just Steve, Kaufman and I. We thought we were doing pretty badly around half way through, very surprised to see the rank numbers that showed up. |

Likewise, we were three-deep for about half the game with Ro, Merkin, and myself. Illini showed up before the start of round 3, which was nice. Spared me from having to play three tablets at once, which is a real pain in the ass, as I'm sure you can attest. But, yeah, getting #1 with three people is an impressive achievement. Bravo. Good luck next month. |
