About

Protobowl is a real time multiplayer quizbowl application launched in late August 2012.

This was conceived some time around May 2012, but real development didn't start until July. The name is a portmanteau of "prototype" and "quizbowl".

I implore you to contact info@protobowl.com with any and all questions, comments or concerns, preferably those which relate to Protobowl.

Warning! Your browser is connecting to the server using a long-polling transport, which may lead to increased latency. As a result, we've disabled some of the real time functionality for you. Upgrade to a newer browser like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Internet Explorer 10 to access these features.

It looks like Protobowl is taking a while to connect to the server. This might not mean anything more than a slow connection, or it could be a sign of several possible issues. You could enter offline mode which will start Protobowl as if it did not have a connection to the server at all, but that has the obvious drawback of being offline and only being able to access a limited pool of questions.

If you wait a little bit, Protobowl will keep on trying to connect using different transports until it finds something that works.

It seems like something unexpected has happened, that is, there might be some error in the protobowl code that is preventing it from running. You can try reloading this page a few times (at least 3), going to different rooms, and trying on different browsers. Below you will find the error messages associated with this error. Please contact info@protobowl.com with a screenshot of this page, and we'll fix it as soon as possible.
