New Scaratings

There will soon be more than just football games available at the tablet bars through Preplay. (the QB1 replacement at tablet bars)

BT announced that NHL games will be available for game prediction on Jan 30th and MLB games in the spring, also NCAA football in the fall with the NFL.

This further makes the battle tougher for trivia players getting tablets from the masses. From what I understand bars are not getting as many of these tablets as we are used to with the blue boxes. Sooner or later all BT bars will be tablet bars.

I played Diamondball, the baseball predict the play game back in the days of the grey boxes and it was fine once in a while. So the MLB Preplay will be ok. But what the hell is there to predict in a hockey game play wise? Icing? or shot from right or left wing? the length of penalties?

This may be good for expanding BT but not for trivia players.

NTN Buzztime (NYSE MKT: NTN), North America's leader in bar and restaurant entertainment, and PrePlay, Inc., a leading provider of predictive gaming solutions, announced the strategic partnership on football's annual media day. The alliance makes PrePlay's hit mobile prediction games available on the Buzztime BEOND entertainment platform.

Enabling PrePlay's hit mobile games for Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League and pro and college football for Buzztime's BEOND platform will allow sports fans to engage in the PrePlay experience - predicting every play, chatting with and competing against friends, while watching live sports in their favorite bar or restaurant.

"PrePlay's mission is to enable fans to predict every play of every sport," said founder and CEO Andrew Daines. "This partnership with Buzztime, which will offer PrePlay products to millions of sports fans in bars and restaurants across North America, hits squarely on that mission. We could not be more thrilled."

In addition to PrePlay's football product that allows fans to predict every play of the upcoming football championship game on Feb. 2, NHL PrePlay is expected to be available in Buzztime locations on Jan. 30, and MLB PrePlay will be available in the spring. PrePlay's mobile games are free to play and are available for iOS and Android. Search PrePlay in the App Store and Google Play or visit www.preplaysports.com to download.

Buzztime's BEOND platform is the newest addition to the suite of entertainment products that Buzztime has been offering to bars and restaurants for more than 29 years. Buzztime now registers more than 150,000 new players a month, anchored by the addition of a 700% increase in BEOND player registrations. BEOND has also seen a 500 percent increase in gameplay, which is staggering when you consider that Buzztime games are already played more than 52 million times a year. Arbitron studies show that Buzztime players already spend 27 minutes longer and spend $5 more on average than non-players in the 3200 bars and restaurants where they play.

LET'S GO ....Orioles and the 9 and 5!!

they did not apparently learn their lesson from the league-leading schedule outs of HHOF and Cross-Checked (and I say this as a person reasonably fond of hockey)?

But don't knock icing. For some of us, that's about all we have left to cheer for these days

EGADS!!!

A hockey post from a PENGWN!

I'll knock it. Hybrid icing sucks. They should either go no touch icing or go back to the way it was. This in between stuff is lame.

All this new shit and still no sports trivia game and the stupid split.
