Thanks for the heads up! Thankfully this bug was actually fixed within 15 minutes of the match ending. It was online of code missing to refresh the display before saving the stats to the database (which takes 2-3 minutes). Matches 4 and on all have this corrected.

lol your avatar is amazing! You should turn that into an animated GIF. :P

If you shoot it into your opponents pocket, you have to make the cueball contact the rack. Forces the players to strategize whether to take on the harder pot into their own pocket, or risk shooting and playing into the rack. Complete rules: http://www.wpbltv.com/pages/rules/complete-rulebook...

A few quick notes: We are doing a soft launch, which means that we are ironing out the bugs and adding features each week. Other than the web disaster, the rest of the bugs were easy fixes, so we're adding new features already for week 2. - Week 2 will include more production features, such...

Match 3 between the Minnesota Outlaws and the Phoenix Fire is now ready for viewing. We're hoping this will quickly erase any and all doubt as to the validity of the game of Bonus Ball. Thorsten puts on one of the best performances any of us have ever seen, and Darren quoted this match as "some...

It's only insulting if you decide to wrongfully interpret it as that. I could keep quiet and let everyone think it was a disaster, or I could come online and tell people that things are actually great outside of the internet feed. Over 60 players are involved in this project, and they're all...

Thanks for the support everyone. :) Responsible, and at fault are entirely different. Although not part of my contract, I did hire these service providers to handle the networking. They failed miserably, and although I was not the one directly at fault, I'm still responsible. My job or not...

I've been too busy with damage control to check the forums this weekend, but I'm assuming things here are pretty bitter and negative. I just wanted to quickly make a statement or two. For one, I run the production company. I'm not a network guy, nor is that my job, nor is it that of anyone else...

Mark, I foresee several problems with this proposed solution, but I'm the producer. My crew runs the most aspects of the league, but this is not one of them. If you want your offer to be taken seriously, how about making a phone call to the guy in charge (Larry). This is a private matter, and...

Some quick clarification. When I said "not our target market", I'm referring to advertising and promotions. Die hard players are the ones who attend these events. Once BB gets started they will automatically know about the league since they are heavily involved in the community already, and...

lol, not quite. :P The work comes from about 8,000 lines of code that runs the entire system, knows what player is at the table shooting what ball automatically for the entire season, records all stats automatically, auto injects all stats into our dynamic custom made graphics overlay engine...

This is correct. I pulled 84 hours in 4 back to back shifts earlier in the week. Troll all you like, but you won't slow me down.

Thank you! To reiterate, I simply said that AZ is only a portion of our intended demographic. Tough crowd. :p We're doing a soft launch. After all the disasters with the building and Barry, we're going to make sure we get it right, and take a few weeks to iron out the wrinkles. Once we have...

The difference is that my crew works 60 hour weeks (136 hours this week alone EACH). The players play 3 hours. They are not more important than the players, but I have every right to be concerned about my crew "burning out". Please quit trying to twist my words and pick a fight. It won't work...

A world does exist outside of America. Besides, we're not overlooking the AZ crowd, we simply realize that AZ will not cover the million+ overhead. We are not running back to back seasons without a break. We need time off to do our draft, organize, develop new software and hardware, and make...

This has been addressed twice already in this thread. The second season will start 8 weeks after the first one, meaning that we will have income 10 out of 12 months. We also have someone potentially interested in leasing the studio during the down time. As such, each week of downtime does cost...

...and about $13,000 in lost rent for "courtesy". I understand that the schedule is not perfect for you Mark, and sure $13k is not a ton of money compared to a million, but it's still a gigantic sum of money. I really don't understand how you could ever expect someone to forfeit that simply out...

lol, pretty sure that's inevitable.

Even knowing the investors went into this planning to lose a million in the first season? Why would anyone put up this kind of money, knowing they'll lose it at the start, only to pull out during the year where the real business model gets implemented?

Actually Lenny was actually spot on. Season 1 and 2 will run almost back to back, and then we have someone interested in leasing the studio during the off time. Every week we take off costs a significant amount.
