I am in Wyoming. The Henderson score was a repeat, I talked to my buddy. |

Instead of getting the same game to have a chance at winning legitimately against everyone else, they are excluded from the ranks due to some system issue. It's BOD's call, but it was previously stated on here that repeat games would invalidate results that week. I know you meant system-wide, but still... Thoughts? |

Well well well, why can't anything ever go smoothly? I have not closed the books on this year's contest as of yet. As to the repeat game at Buffalo Wild Wings in Henderson, I will get with my Buzztime rep and decide at that point. What I'm leaning toward right now is to just declare an East Coast Champion and a West Coast Champion and leave it at that. The scores from last night, even with the problems, mirror the four-week qualifying scores. I will keep all of you informed. Thank you for your patience. |

I meant to say is the scores from last night mirror qualifying scores in regards to East versus East and West versus West teams. |

Its intolerable that a location in the finals of a competition should receive a repeat game. Is there anyone here from the location? They should have self-reported the problem. Also, Buzztime has a lot to learn about communications. It is inexcusable that Fat Dogs was unaware of their status. |

So, I reported when a question was asked, even though I am 800 miles away. There was a question about the scores, I texted my friend and responded within minutes. |

We at Coaches Pub are perfectly happy if this ends with just us being declared East Zone champions and BWW Henderson being declared as West Zone champions. The problem here isn't between the teams: it's the Split, that makes teams in both zones unable to determine how they've done the night they do it, and renders all good West Zone team scores suspicious just because the possibility exists that they might not be legitimate. Let's hope that this inspires NTN/BT to see the folly in the Split and be a force to end it. Brooke/AARDVK |

Brooke/AARDVK After discussing this with my Buzztime rep, I have made the decision to declare an East champion and a West champion. Doing it this way was my original plan and the one game playoff was added later. I feel that this is the most equitable solution I can come up with. Therefore, Coaches Pub is the East champion and BWW Henderson is the West champion. |

E COLI/&/ETEACH/HFMUDD/whatever-else-he's-called-himself asked me to pass this along: VANRYN here, Rembrandt's designated sci-fi guy. Just wanted to offer our thanks to B O D for organizing the competition, and our congrats to the winners and all participating teams. Here's hoping that by next year BT will have had the brains to merge the network back to the way it should be ... (Also, hi to the folks at Kristy's MVP who showed such great hospitality to the poor Canuck who had to play the first round at a rival bar!) |

Oh! That's right. I got distracted by the Vegas score thingie and neglected to congratulate those crazy kids from Coaches on their tourney win. Congratulations on your superior geekiness.  A special shout out to pengwn for reminding me to be gracious.

Received the prize package last night. Pretty sweet stuff, the movie was a nice touch. The XXXL hit the spot as well. Thanks again for putting the tournament together. Hopefully next year Buzztime stops being dipshits and unites the network. |

Well, hell. It was more than a lil appropriate that Robert Silverberg was the answer to one of this week's questions, since yesterday was also his 79th birthday.

It was said going into this contest that that could be a possibility. We had no other choice than to use the honor system. Secondly, I left much of the communications up to Buzztime. Apparently Hot Dogs Grille's players did not receive the word and they played at Bleachers last night. So as not to penalize them for my transgression, I will count their score from Bleachers. That leaves the talley as follows: BWW Henderson--14854 Coaches Pub--13540 Fat Dogs/Bleachers--12872 Rembrandts--12686 Yup - I didn't start on this forum until long after this. There was a big gnashing of teeth from the Fat Dog owner - but nobody told us, so there you go. (FDogs I think got rid of buzztime or plan to post-that-whole-foobar) Woof |

They were silkscreened with a "Sci-Files" logo, a "rock, paper, scissors, lizard, spock" diagram and the names of the top four bars in order of finish. When I wear mine in public I feel just like a super model. Without the puke breath... Indeed. Thanks - I have the shirt (as it was, it was post-CABG for me, so they wanted me to have it), and am putting it in a shadowbox frame for my office. (BB&G II is no more, now we mainly show up at Bleachers) |
