Is dark time factored into show ratings?

Just wondering since I havent seen a difference.

No, they do not factor into the overall show rating but I'm 50% sure they could kill the crowd at the very beginning of a show.

No, anything that happens during the dark segments doesn't factor into show ratings. They do factor into the percentage of the show taken up by angles, so if you are running a few minutes short of angles on your main show (according to your product settings) then you can make this time up during dark times. Dark time also still effects the crowd's mood just as normal segments do, so try not to kill the crowd with your dark time or it might adversely affect how well your main show performs. Derek B
