 * Quarter Zone Set to Shut Down

The website Quarter Zone has since late 2021 tracked the Tetris Effect: Connected leaderboards cross-platform as a database accessible to all. This is coming to an end as the developer bitto has made the decision to cease operation, partially due to wavering interest. The last datascrape occurred on the last of July and the final update to the website will take place on the last of August. The website will go offline when the domain expires on the 11th of November.
