- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
Conservative start to a game at this venue, with no teams attempting to double- and mostly wisely so. That changed in round 2 when 4 teams reached for that brass ring and Birthday Party Satan, The Kids' Table, and Quiz Kid Donnie Smith were able to grasp it!
None of them were able to reapeat this for round three, and There's Always Next Week and BYOB had a chance to threaten the standings. Round 4 was brutal to those who answered early, but the mid-range found some satisfaction in the second and third clues. Round 5 was successful for Tequila Mockingbirds, launching from an unfamiliar trailing position, but outpaced in round 6 with six successful double downs, and a DEVASTATING round 7, with only three teams scoring points at all left the consistent Kids' Table at the top of the heap, followed by long-leaders Birthday Party Satan, and There's Always Next Week.

The lightning punctuated night filled with electricity made by spectacular trivia goers with spectacular scores. In round 1, teams had either perfect or near-perfect scores but no one doubled! That changed in the next round, with teams hardly missing any questions and three doubles from our bolder participants. There was a bit of a reality check in round 3 as teams either got perfect scores or missed only one question, that one turned out to be rather fateful, however and three teams goose egged when they should have strayed from doubling. You need to swatch out, folks and not TAG the wrong answer.
Round 4 played a little more conservative, and teams tagged the virgin billionaire with a healthy and tight bell curve. The leaders began to solidify by round 5, and actually the game was decided in round 6 because in round 7, every single remaining team doubled down successfully! That's right! It was insane! and made for some fun math. Every team scored 18 points and returned their pens which meant that with 2 exceptions, the places did not shift, and did not shift at all for this weeks' top three.

What a spectacular night! The game started off around one with eight out of the nine teams successfully doubling down! Nigh unbelievable!
In round two over half the teams double down again! We were thinking this is getting a bit ridiculous and things begin to slow down in rounds three and four, but pick right back up again around five with mostly 90% scores from most teams. With pressure mounting, round six proved fafateful as teams, wary of losing their standing, or forced to choose between doubling down or not. Goumg bold proved to be a wise decision for the casual American cannibals, that double down secured their place and round seven, while shaky did not steer them wrong, placing second for possibly the first time, only one point ahead of Quiz kid Donnie Smith, and following this week's champions Tequila Mockingbirds with an astounding 102 points, possibly the 1st Super-Hundred score in a year!
