During spotlight last night, Walsh's tablets lost the connection during one question. All boards had to log off and back in and we lost points for that question.
As the question was to identify the movie with the line "My name is Inigo Montoya" (the wall screen showed the question as normal) and we were second by less than 1000 points, it was not a pleasant experience. Did that happen to anyone else last night or at other times?
It happened at BWW-Gaithersburg too. Same question and everything. We didn't need to log out and back in; the next question showed up fine after numerous curses involving the word "inconceivable."
On the bright side, we finished sixth, with our average scored as precisely 1,517 points behind the fifth place site, meaning that by not having those 1500 points per box (1,000 on that question and an instaget on the final), we were spared missing the next spot up by an excruciating margin.
As for the poster speculating about wifi overload, I don't think the Buzztime system uses the same wi-fi system as the site in general. The wi-fi in Gaithersburg's been fubar for months, but we're still able to (usually) play just fine.
