I was just transferring some old e-mails around and I came across some nuggets from NTN in 1998...
This was NTN's I-believe-first-and-only-ever(?) attempt to do a single-elimination bracket tournament for Spotlight.
For fans of bracketology I share this as a blast from the past. Look at all the low site ID#'s, the highest is 7464.

I see only 2-3 bars that still has Buzztime.....Maybe can do something like that what we do for SD, Sci-Files, BrainBusters and Solo Countdown.

After more than a lil further review, what hits me from that list from fifteen years ago :o is that a good number of those sites were also prominent in other premium games. Nowadays, that does not seem to be the case. :cry:

Well, hell. Making an assumption or few about the specific sites included in that tournament (specifically, Spoons, Famous Sam's and National), I've played at more than a lil handful of them. Image

And of those, at least one (BW3 Houston--Rice Village) only has it in name, as everyone stopped playing there after they ripped out the U-shaped bar that made it so easy for people to play as a team.
