14. Which game listed is 60 minutes long? Showdown

15. Who is the current Badge Leader? LILJOL

Can't remember my score as I bleed points trying to write questions.

That's as good a recap as I would have produced

I will add a few details, though:
3's wording included BT's foundation year: NTN Buzztime was known as NTN ______ when it was founded way back in 1984
8. I wrote down Ram Krishman as the CEO's name. Haven't paid attention to BT's boardroom lately, so I only got 246, en route to a 14,245. The other answers were all staggered by three years, i.e. 2002, 2005, 2008, 2011
9. Alternate answers to GAMBIT were MEGUMI, EEYORE, MR Z, AARDVK
10. Scored 999 on this one by dragging my finger on the screen, then changing back to Lexitopia, for those auditing my reported score
11. 1998*
12. Factoid mentioned how debate continues on exactly why Passport met its demise
15. Wrong answers to FLILJL (sic) were BOTFLY, TOPDOC, GMEBRK, ELPUKO

Nothing at all about QB1, which was a surprise to me

Also nothing about Beef Or No Beef, Crazy Golf, Diamondball, The Final Answer, Know Your Server, Nightside, Raceday, The Sandbagger's Blues, Whether-Or-Not-Triviapalooza-Counts-As-A-Bash, Zobmondo! . . . all of which was far less surprising :mrgreen:

Think you had at least one too many tonight. You attempted(?) to correct the one question about QB1 above. For what it's worth, the championship was held in 2008, I was there. Don't know if BT made the error or you. Pretty sure regardless it's not 2998!

If BT ever does this again (and I think they should, it has neat possibilities) they should include the following question:

Which BT player never won a Dodge Truck? LEWSER should be the answer! Since BT staff loves him so much, it would be a little payback. :twisted:

Can we ask one of those participants who won the Super Bowl that year? I might have to make a run to Vegas to lay a futures bet!

Well, hell. This morning's postings of premium game results for Thanksgiving Thursday left out both Topix and Tuned In for the west side of the FSPLIT. :roll:

Guilty on all counts, though I don't think it was the drink fogging my brain so much as all the B-dubs wing farts after I got home :oops:

And I'd like to see... Which player was not awarded the Buzztime Star prize due to buzztime receiving few entries in the contest? :lol:

I counted exactly that number for Ontario, and yet an even higher count for Texas, now known as the "Don't They Know It's Thanksgiving?" State, where I counted 96. :lol:

On the other hand, well it's not every day that I get to submit my state's only Topix score...

So the numbers were 76 in the West, and 546 in the East. I suspect even lower numbers in about four weeks, when for Canadians it will not be an ordinary Thursday. Curious what Topix will be about that night...
