On Tuesday, a number of us around the country noticed that the network rankings were missing for the games leading up to Showdown.

I actually got out to play last night, too, and at least at Jerzee's Sports Grille in Akron, we had no network rankings for either SIX or PasTimes. Was this true in other places, too? If so, maybe Buzztime ought to be made aware that they have a problem.

Also, on a completely unrelated issue, I was checking the HOF this morning to see if it was just an issue of my site not reporting out, and I noticed that the team at Heroes Sports Bar and Grill is apparently now playing in "Whichita." I humbly suggest that Buzztime ought to either drop the extraneous "h" or add a question mark.

I only played Countdown yesterday but this is what we saw (times in Eastern):

6:30pm - No Network Site Rankings
7:00pm - We had rankings but instead of getting the Top 5 average, all scores were included in the average including one board that was a 0
7:30pm - No Network Site Rankings

Before that, rankings were fine though.

Opiee and I have been at the beach for a couple weeks and rankings have been good till Sat.

There were no rankings all day and night on Saturday. I called BT from Coins Ocean City MD and was told they hadn't heard about any problems but a tech would call the bar back. No call.
I hear Sunday was good.

Monday was fine at Zoggs in Rehobeth and Grotto Pizza Lewes DE. We didn't play Tues. but it looks like no rankings according to Anon.

Wed at Coins rankings were good till the 630 CD when we had a perfect 15k bar score. No rankings for that game or the rest of the night.

We were getting the proper badges and avatars, no trouble signing in or changing handles, meaning we were connected. The games are all showing in HOF.

So why the trouble with rankings?

Checking with several people while playing there were no rankings for the four CD games prior to BB, that's 5-7cdt. The odd part was that each game there were the (supposed) individual national ranks listed on the local page. But nothing else.

Well, hell. We can hope that the Flex Alert for The Horribly Site-Poor Golden State is not to blame. :roll:

BS, I've been notifying them daily. As far as Flex Alert, that will probably be the excuse. :roll:

How are the rankings coming through today? With all the bad rankings days we decided to go to non BT bars today. Lots of bands to see and live trivia to be had down here in Ocean City MD. BT will very quickly lose the customers they have if this keeps up.

Someone please let me know when it's fixed.

One slight correction.... Rankings finally appeared on Saturday starting with the 10pm EST game.

The last few times I've played, there were no rankings. I suspect they have lazy people running their service. They should be able to tell if rankings are going out.

It turns out BT was doing planned maintanence on their servers the last few days.
So, this outage was known all along by the techies who didn't bother to post a notice online about the outages. Also didn't tell their customer support call desk either.

BT should have been done with this by Thur night they say. Let's hope so.
