Looking at Ben's Pourhouse gameplay history this morning... It's funny to see that Spotlight had only four plays in the last 6 months with 1-3 p+ players for each of those plays. Then last night it has 47 p+ players  Since the top Spotlight location put up a monster score, we might excuse you for falling short of the top spot. But getting edged out for 2nd, even by a strong Illinois team, you got some 'splaining to do

Good job! We got stomped in that game even though we had a Walsh’s ringer. We went 28-9 on Thursday, 28-9 on Friday, 19-17 on Saturday (karaoke night) and right now we’re 8-1. Notably, JETS didn’t show up today. Just sayin’ ... GYPSY |

Plus some brand new boards from Buzztime that kept randomly freezing up  Perhaps if you attended a 'Paahlozza one these years, you might be able to experience the lag "fun" in person!

Well, that and a couple of wretched teeny-bop questions in the Get A Clue round where nobody in the room Got One. (I think you had to be over 40 to get in Friday night )

I can certainly attest to the lag factor when over 50 boxes are in use. Bonzo and I did some informal experimentation thought it would now be obsolete with the new PMs. |

I was surprised with the lag and board issues we had this year. I didn't make Texas last year so not sure how that went but when we first had the tablets at Jax 2 years ago, it seemed the lag and freezing issues were largely non-existent, definitely not compared to this year with the boards freezing mid-question. |

I didn't notice that last year either. Boxes dying was the big issue. |
