    Matchbook 'complaint'

    I love matchbook, but they need to stop this sh*t every night:

    Matchbook will be performing site maintenance from 12.30am to 06.30am EST.
    Please be advised that the site will be unavailable during these hours.
    What do they need 6 hours for? And what about tonight's MLB opener at 6 AM EST?!

    If you're still awake, it's on the board now. 4 Min left to get it in.

    I'm just now seeing this thread DH. I take it that their mirror sites were down to to maintenance as well or no?

    FWIW: below I have posted the mirror sites in case you ever are in need of them

    Their daily maintenance the past week or so takes six hours. That's a little steep for an exchange. I've put up plenty of offers that were met during the night, so I would prefer them to go back to their more efficient ways.

    Same for mirror sites.

    Another complaint: In the Wash St vs NC game they pulled all but the side market more than two minutes before the scheduled tip-off and long before 5dimes or DSI. Not friendly to total scalpers!

    Looks like they're back to the old schedule. No more six hour maintenance periods.

    They are still down and now noted as going to 12:30est...

    My question is, why in the hell would they do this on NCAA gameday.....

    Why not wait until Sunday night....?

    Here is what they are stating on the Matchbook website at this time:

    Matchbook is currently conducting site maintenance and will be back online at 12:30 pm EST.
    All open offers will be flushed before the site reopens.

    Looks like it takes quite a while for their markets to fill back in since they cancelled all open offers.

    They must be having some problems. 12:30 pm is crazy. Anyway, better to take care of it now than during MLB season.
