New Scaratings

After looking at the scores, GAVV and I were wondering which category, if any, might have tripped folks up in the last round.
I suspect it was the Celtics number round which seemed the most likely to produce multiple misses.
Just curious.
Sorry to bring up any painful memories...

Had a golf game so didn't play. What was the Celts question and what time did the game start?

I contacted BT yesterday on the Sports and Scheduling deptments by the indivials own private emails (holiday no one was working at the office) and they both said that the games scheduling will stay this way till March when several things will be changed up.

My downfall in the last round was the linebackers question. I only got 4 points on that one. Had 12.0s on the Celtics, Olympic years, and basebal positions matching. Turned around 2 of the racers for an 8.0 on that one.

2nd round was also a problem. Went with 6 instead of 8 on the number of times Palmer won 20. Also couldnt remember where Bill Self was prior to Kansas so had zeros on both of those.

Had 27/30 in the first round. about 42 in the dreaded spelling round and 30/40 in the years round.

Nice game for Spotes and 86th St. for outdistancing the field last night!!

That one got me, I'm horrible at uniform numbers. I knew Larry Bird and managed to guess two of the others. I only got 3 out of 5 as well on the race car driver name matching. I got Rodger Ward and Jack Brabham backwards as I hadn't heard of either of them.

That sounds potentially ominous..................
I cant help but feel nervous every time there is a BT announcement about "changing things up". It rarely if ever seems to result in anything to make me personally more happy about playing trivia. It always rather seems to be the opposite. Cant help but wondering what is in the works this time...............

Watching Bird as an Indiana boy back in the day Cornbread was an easy one for me. open-wheel auto racing is my specialty so that wasn't a problem, and spotes breezed us through the baseball q.

I remembered something in the back of my head from listening to IUPUI basketball about Oral Roberts so we had the Bill Self Q, and also missed the Palmer And-1. (at least it was my reasoning to spotes why i had at least something more than 50% ass on that answer)

we got 27/30 by missing the hit-by-pitch q, though Turbo had gone the other way and got us one box to it.

We had very middling box score and year round, and we were a bit ticked at the Messi Q, as we were starting out with Barcelona rather than Argentina. poorly worded in our opinion.

At the Varsity it was just the spelling round and year round. Playing 5 boxes doesn't help, but pretty much got zero on the messi question, was also on Barcelona and when that wasn't it I just sat there. Todd Richards got a big .7 there on two boxes. And had at least 4 year round questions where after the first clue I was one year off and had to wait till the 3rd clue to change. And still can't believe Palmer had 8 20-win seasons. Guess I will take 3rd with a 163 average, tough though because it was a fairly easy game, and if Hunk ( the other sports guy) was there that woulda been a high scoring game.

The only premium game of the night at 630? Amazing.

We honestly thought the same thing, and that our score was about a 4th or 5th place avg. We had nearly the same performance on the years, and with last second fumbling we had about the same for Messi, and pretty much whiffed on jeremy shelley, and lost bunches on Todd Richards as well.

7:30 helps us maybe a tiny bit, since Turbo's usually still not quite in the Citron coma by then.

Your biggest help was mentioned in post #2.

WOW you were right with you being nervous with the so called announced change coming up with the EAST/WEST games now.

True, he called it, but does it count as predicting the future if you predict "I will wake up in the morning" and they you wake up in the morning?
