First, you do have to KNOW the answer.

This is totally false. For example...

David Dupont is a forward for this ACC hoops team. _ _ _ _ _ | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (5,8)

BO

Point taken. What I should have probably said is you need to know the answer to get a full 5.0 points. If you didnt know the answer to this one, and "N" and "C" came up as the first clues you still probably wouldnt get 5.0.

Thats what makes this a frustrating round. You can know the answer and get penalized because you cant spell it, or spell it incorrectly. And you can not know the answer and still get a reasonably good point total for the question. Although that is always true for any BT mulitple choice game as well. I get 1000 pointers often because I managed to guess correctly, not because I actually knew the answer.

Did we ever get confirmation that the advertisement mentioning six rounds was mistakenly used from the days of the polling round, or is there something different about the game now?

The ad was a mistake. The game will be the same.

The game will be the same.

Several years ago after ULF had won a bunch of games in a row, two NTN/BT game designers went to watch him in action.

BT: What is that now, 12 games in a row? ULF you sonofabitch, nobody's that lucky.

ULF: Why BT, whatever do you mean? Maybe sports just isn't what people understand. I know, let's have a spelling contest!

BT: That's a brilliant idea, thanks!


I still love the game and will be playing tonight. My sole goal is to finish ahead of 86th Street, those 45 points have been gnawing at me all week.

You trying to lay this horrid game concept at ULF's feet?
What did he ever do to you?
Besides clean your clock 95% of the time...
(Now that I think about it, I remember my timepiece being pretty damn shiny as well...)

That round and the round that asks about a picture that doesn't always appear are exactly why I preferred STC. If they threw a 3rd grade Spelling Bee in the middle of Playback, music geeks like XCLARK would throw a fit!

Is it just me or did BT fail in posting the SIQ scores in the HOF?

Let's hope they fix it soon so everyone can see JETHRO listed ahead of BO from last night's game.

95% is a ridiculous exaggeration. Try 98%.

Not just you, as the MNF QB1 game is posted and Sports IQ is not. Last time when the schedule was shifted around involved Sports IQ, it took something like 6 months to get it into the hall of fame.

That someone would have been ULF himself, I just saw the picture yesterday... Mmmmm..

Do you think anyone is working on getting the SIQ results page up and running again?
