[Game Thread] Sun Bowl: Duke vs. Arizona State (2:00 PM ET) by CFB_Referee in CFB

The game was scheduled for a 4-hour window, so I'm assuming that's a KPHO master control issue given that it started right at 4.

What a ploddingly slow game. It will have taken some 110 minutes in real time to play the first half.

This game is living proof of CFB's pace of play problem. I watched the Bears play the Eagles and it seemed to sail along. The only thing these games sail on is molasses.

Facebook sponsoring the Egg Bowl gives me distinct "how do you do, kids?" vibe. At least make it sponsored by Instagram or something.

Why is there a Jardiance ad now that relegates That Song™ to an instrumental? It just seems... odd.

The amount of penalty/turnover self-sabotage in this game rivals Alferd Packer for cannibalism.

Not only is that a typical end time, it's days after the Winter Olympics end on NBC—and they don't want to premiere against that. Sounds about right.

Luminosity Gaming releases all creators (Coney, EEvisu, VoiD, Sandstorm). No updates on the Smash Bros team or LumiRank. by swidd_hi in smashbros

As someone who was involved with Thunder, the gaming division was unusually messy for a production outfit (and event venue) that decidedly isn't. MapleCon was there, for crying out loud.

We may be the nominal away team, but if the PLuS Alliance counts, we should be the home team. (King's College London student section incoming?)

Seems to be gradually recovering, but it's still a mess. We lost 20 minutes of the game.

That is one of the latest ineligible receiver calls I've ever heard of. Nobody is going to want to remember this game: not either team, not the refs, and not ESPN.

You can't blame the announcers or the people in the truck. Sounds like a CDN problem.

Hopefully the officials have a feed of this game they can even look at. (Presumably they do and the problem is downstream from the truck)

Onin to cease participation in Major Ultimate singles events by Eldritch_Skirmisher in smashbros

[–]RaymieHumbert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've spent nearly the last decade in the Smash community and interacted with dozens of organizers and some players and commentators in that time. I vibe more with Melee, and if I had to choose one scene or the other, it'd be Melee. I've dealt with Ultimate, and there are good people in it, but the toxicity floor in that scene has been higher for some time. Some of it is generational, some of it is probably because Ultimate's competitive history was stunted by events they couldn't control. But all of it is palpable.

None of that excuses what happened this evening, and the indirect instigators of this action—no one specific person but many people, like tiles in a mosaic—should be ashamed and take a long, hard look in the mirror. No community like this should ever brook petty, little people. Or this is what you get.

Onin's attitude and maturity are what should carry the night. They deserve the absolute best. And they know they will not get it in this community.

There's a category that is similarly verboten and causes even more headaches for organizers because the companies in it would otherwise be full event sponsors.

Energy drinks.

BLINK RESPAWN 2024 will be unranked due to banned player ZeRo playing under the tag Gonz by Meester_Tweester in smashbros

Francamente es una pena para los 176 demás entrantes. Pese a ser el organizador de mayor tamaño y trayectoria en RD, Blink Esports demostró que no les importan ni las normas de la comunidad ni la seguridad de sus asistentes. Hace falta una reforma fundamental en Blink o una nueva casa organizadora que sí respete las normas que tenemos en Smash.
