Are the League games for April 2020 the same as March 2020, or, have the new month's games not come online to date, please?
Thanks.

Currently the Division A team quizzes have not reset from March (I don't know about other divisions).

It's still early in the morning. The poor thing probably woke up and forgot what month it is now.

Well it is April Fool's Day. We should just be grateful that the computer didn't list the same game eight times.

As my team has (once again) risen from League B to League A, I didn't realise the games remained unchanged.

We seem to swop leagues on a monthly basis, so it's always a different question set.

League C had five daily games and one hourly game last month. The hourly game changed, but the daily games stayed the same.

Just as a reminder to the powers that be, the team games for Division A were the same for March and April. If someone can verify that the random number generator is set to change at least some for May, it would be much appreciated.

Yes! Would be nice to play some different games in May!

League A
"For May we are using 8 games for the 20 team diamond elite league.
Team Heroes Daily Game Who's Smartest? Easy Hourly Fifty-Fifty New Qn Game Obscurity Who Am I?"

Again, they haven't been changed. 3rd month with the same categories. Please fix this.

At least you do not have the Mind Melt yet again as we have in League B. I let my Team down every day as I HATE that game and refuse to play it.

Lonely lady! You aren’t letting anyone down! Anyone that can play even just one game a day for their team is helping. smile all any of us can do is what we feel we can do.

I second that this needs to be fixed. Three months of the same games certainly removes some of the Fun from FunTrivia, and even though my team just won League A (first time ever under the new system, woo!) with these games, I'd still love to see more variety.

Also - Team Heroes, Daily Game and Smartest have always been games that count. I agree that Heroes should always be there, but are Daily and Smartest also guaranteed? Once again, I think the more variety the better, although if you've decided that those two games should always count, so be it.

I see I am not the only one who is wondering if the League games have moved to a new format. They appear not to change. I had thought they were to rotate on a monthly basis. Has this now changed?

My understanding is that all Leagues will always have Heroes and Daily Game, but the other games are supposed to rotate each month.

(Additionally, Leagues A, B, and C always have a GM game, which changes every month).

I seem to recall reading somewhere that Smartest is a permanent Division A category along with Heroes and Daily (Daily is the replacement for TvT which was retired last fall).

It's the other 5 categories for which it is frustrating that they haven't changed since before WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic.

That's a time table we can all relate to.

League A still has a pesky bug in it that needs to be worked out. All other leagues should be fine.

What needs to happen is that next month I need to be around at midnight when the changeover happens. I don't notice until the next morning, and I'm hesitant to change the rotation manually when people have already started playing in the advertised games of the month.

League A changed to:

Team Heroes
Daily Game
New Qn Game
Word Wizard
Easy Hourly
Mind Melt
GM Madness
Mixed Hourly

Sorry for any inconvenience, but that last config had been going too long.

There goes my celebrations for avoiding Mind Melt and Word Wizard.
We were playing those games in league B and now that we have been promoted we face the same games again!
