Anyone else have it? Anyone else notice it?

We've seen it on and off the past few months at BWW Gaithersburg, but last night it hit quite a few boxes, perhaps no small reason why we were credited with the bar win. Yes, we had a good game, but not that good, and the scores we earned might have knocked us back a spot or three in the standings.

The bug is as follows: If you are reading this, you no doubt know that the Think Again round consists of five groups of three "questions", each worth 500 points, with a bonus 500 awarded for getting all three right. Thus, 2000 points available per triad, 10000 available for the whole round. Except, every now and then, with no rhyme or reason we've been able to detect, the point fairy tosses some good girl or boy an additional 500 or 1000 points after some of these triples, whether or not they got all three answers correct. So last night we had a few boxes with 11K for the round, and it allowed for a local lead change that somehow defied conventional laws of physics.

Has it happened at your place? Are you a tablet bar? A BWW? And does Buzztime have a clue?

You mean this thread from Jan. when we got our last Spotlight win. :mrgreen:
Players know about it. Does BT know, I doubt it.

Walsh's is a tablet bar and we've never had this issue happen to us. Very odd indeed.

Still, a nice win for you all in Gaithersburg last night. Must be a relief to see someone other than us or Crepes win, isn't it?
