Team Krispy at B-52 (MME WU, JAN M, AUVA, LI ZHU) was playing a friendly against the Brain Trust at Wild Bill's (HAMMER, BACHO, HSNBRG, GOPHER). Starting with the 5 PM CST Countdown, we stopped getting the Final Top 20 leaderboard. The Brain Trust reported via text that they had been cut out on the 13th question, and then restored. Both groups played until 6 PM CST, the Brain Trust until 6:30, and none of us were credited with any activity after the 5 PM (3 PM PST) game.

Generally the results of the previous night's premium quizzes are posted by 9:30 AM CST the following morning. But it's now 10 AM, and nothing has been posted.

A very similar scenario at BWW Gaithersburg MD. No rankings for any game from 6 eastern until the 10pm CD where 5 bars showed up, none of them being us. We left soon after that.

We had at least one hiccup per game, except SD, where we didn't get credit for a question answered. There also was a few very short freeze ups. Not the 20 minute lock up.

We were connected because the current medal data was showing up on the BT website as it should. So, yes, a huge meltdown of the system it seems.

My guess is the timing is way off. Blank Rankings screens are coming up before any scores have come back in. Not enough ads. We were done early on most games by almost 5 minutes.
The end of the sports questions between rounds may be a reason? Also the lack of any movie ads, beer/liquor ads, concert ads, where have they all gone?

It was the same scenario on the left coast as well. :roll:

I'm seeing history questions to promote the new history quiz. I believe that History for Sports was an even swap.

Yet hours later Buzztime was unable to retrieve and process our scores. I hope all that data didn't wash.

I just got back from a three-game Lunchtime session. The game was being scored normally, and I didn't see any strings of repeat content (with the caveat that I don't play much Lunchtime). I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all the issues shall be successfully resolved, hopefully including last night's scores.

This is my input for Friday night. For our location (Danny K's), none of the premium games were recorded, but that could be a good thing. Countdown games recorded normally.

$%^&* Buzztime has had a bad several days. No premium game results have been posted for Friday.

Danny K's: How did you do in Spotlight. We at Walsh's look for your score. Our top board was 59.9 and average approx 58. We had three boards at 15 on Trendalicious.

Saturday things seemed to work, but yesterday Buzztime messed up even worse. Cinema was a repeat from the week before and Pulse a repeat from a month before.

C'mon Buzztime, do things right!

Danny K's has a different team for Spotlight. The main players play at Rockin' Crepes, Huntington Beach. We didn't do so well at Danny K's. Spotlight is not a strong game for me.
