BuzzerBeater Forums

Jesus, you are a GM. Take some more initiative here will ya, and contact the person(s) who CAN do something about it.
As a GM, you should feel responsible to make Buzzerbeater as best as possible. SO take a more active stance here, and contact the necessary persons please. You probably know better than me who to contact for this, because i don't know who.

doesn't really matter, does it. The main thing is that memberships should be extended when website is unusable. Supporters pay for play time, certainly not for offline time !

It does. If it's counted in minutes then it's reasonable for supporter to be refunded for every delay. But if it's counted in days, meaning that the counter ends at 12am, how the hell is BB suppose to refund you? extend it by one day just for a 1 hour delay? Unless they take the site off for 24 hours every delay, or else I can't see the reason for an extension. Though if they shut the site for 24 hours it's only reasonable that the supporter is extended for everyone.

Well, in that case, there is still a solution and it is this :
every time the website is down, you count the number of minutes it was down. So let's say on day 1, website was down 60 min, and on day 15 website was down 120 minutes. So that already makes a total sum of 180 minutes offline time. You just keep counting the minutes every time the site is down, and once they reach 1440 minutes, all memberships get extended with 1 day. So each time the total number of minutes passes a multiple of 1440, memberships get extended with one day.
It's as simple as that, really.
Anyway, what i wanted to make clear is that there is always a solution to this problem, no matter if they count in minutes, in days, in season or whatever. So please, next time think for a minute before you post a reaction, because no matter how they count the memberships, there is always a possible solution to this problem.
But until now, they have never extended any membership. It's only fair and logical to extend the memberships if there was enough offline time.l

i believe the website is nnot donwn 1440 minutes every half year, some feature like the tl maybe but the web seite not. So we already have this standing ;)

normally you could do everything, but just the transfer don't finish. That quite more then just looking at your roster.

You know there was a time when you could read up the stats of the game you just watched IN THE NEWSPAPER the next day? Even NBA often takes 2-3 hours to release a box score once the live-tracker is down.

Actually response times (and training schedule) etc. are catching up and becoming better and better. The performance level is rising from week to week - I have some hope that we might have a solid level very soon.

Now honestly I´ve been against this "immediatism" all the time, ask around in the German Forum, I´m one of the more patient people. And though I see your point about the NBA, I follow my own countries league aswell, and you gotta be HIGHLY satisfied if you managed to get hold of all the stats of a gameday before midnight. Public Media usuallly just delivers the Game Result, and often enough even that with a delay. So waiting for 3 hours to get the BB boxscore is pretty much within time.

I think a mixture between tone down expectation, speed up delivery and meeting in the middle is the perfect solution. In a perfect world, things look different and our aim is to get there, but it´s not like world´s gonna end if you have to wait a little bit longer, isn´t it? ;)
