Hi all Have noticed that occasionally, 4 or 5 times over the last 2 months, that scores for Word Wizard were not included in the team score. Yesterday, my score for Heroes wasn't included. I am not asking for it to be changed, just thought it was worth looking into. Kind regards Nicott

To make it a more even field for other teams other than the elite of League A, would it be possible to create a Premier League with the top 8 - 10 teams and reallocate the places in the other leagues?
The bottom two of Premier League get relegated and replaced by the top two teams of League A. The rest remain as they are now.
I think that makes perfect sense, and without doubt would greatly enhance the enjoyment of many in my team "The Scrambled Eggheads". We were initially placed in League C from where we made good progress into League B and then into League A. However, since then we have been regularly relegated and then promoted between Leagues A and B, and it is again likely we'll return to League B again at the end of May. It's become a monthly ritual. Forming an elite league consisting of the teams who are really serious about competition might be the way forward?

I absolutely hate this idea. It would never end. Once you get rid of the elite teams now, there will be other teams that beat you on a regular basis. Will you want to get rid of them too. Where does it end?

Great idea, gme24  The brilliant top champs could be escorted to a FT Valhalla Hall of Fame in a blaze of glory - like Wesley did for the Ascension Quest completion - there to reside permanently, having sacrificed their grey cells on the battlefields of endeavour, while the rest of us battle on far below, cutting and thrusting in our little horned helmets. Maybe there they could then fight one another for one coveted top place only every month in that impressive category. TvT is a great challenge and has quite re-ignited my enjoyment of the hourly games AND it came at the right time too. We're still stuck in social isolation here and it's driving me nuts. TvT lightens the ennui. If not for FT altogether, I don't know what I'd do.

How difficult is it to have "Mind Melt" and "Word Wizard" be mutually exclusive? I don't agree that they should be. I'm in seventh heaven when they are together.

We had a three-way tie for 13th place this month in the A league. While it wasn't a major deal relatively speaking, I can imagine a time when it'll cause a team to change leagues. Can you add a tie-breaker so that it's not (apparently?) TvT placement? There are a lot of simple statistics you can take into account, like which team has the best median score, etc. Three teams had the same end of month score - 113. Only one lucky team placed 13th. That team also has three black cats on the team's info page. The other teams placed 14th and 15th. I'm not sure what you mean by "TvT placement" because I'm accustomed to TvT meaning the now defunct Team vs. Team game. The final placements were determined by how the three ranked in the Team Heroes game at the end of the month.

Hi Mirajane, I asked the same thing last month on another thread. Try this link, look for my question and 1nn1's response. https://www.funtrivia.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/1256179With that information, I never look at the results until about noon UK time when they are usually showing yesterday's scores instead of the day before's.

Dang. I knew this. First the scoring page was blank. Then scores showed up. I never considered it went from blank to old scores. I'll go back to waiting until sunrise to check scores.

I noticed the same thing this morning - which sort of depressed me, because it involved some games where I got really good scores  ! Thank you so much for posting the link to the previous discussion. It isn't noon in the UK yet, so it's probably a matter of waiting a bit longer before panicking. Is there a time when you don't get really good scores LadyNym? :-) Thank 1nn1 and others for the explanation, I knew I couldn't explain it eloquently so didn't try!

July games selection in League A appears to be the same as June. Is this one of those things that doesn't automatically change and needs to be manually switched? See Wes' note: https://www.funtrivia.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/1268327
