QUIZ RECAP

What a night! We had a lot of newcomers who had already finished most of their finals playing for keeps before the rain came in to wash away any stench of defeat, or to shower those lucky few with the divine pure water of victory.

High scores marked the first round for most teams, although caution favoured discretion and double-downs were wisely avoided by most. The second round had our first double, the Quizlamic State, being the only perfect score in the first two rounds, they certainly jumped forth, but the consistency of their competition in still scoring high kept thigns rolling. Catching up in round 3, The Flash and HH2 friends whizzed into double points along with Barney Shore. Few teams were able to turn in until clue 3 in round 4, but then it was a deluge of points with no teams answering incorrectly, and only one declining in the face of any penalty.

Round 5 went middling, and round 6 was a bit tragic, with eight double attempts, only one of which, from HH2 Friends landed, separating a great many from prize contention. Round 7 redeemed nearly all, with forlorn hopes ending in zeroes, but nine successful double downs! That proved necessary for The Flash, and Happy Birthday John to maintain their standing and take Second and Third, respectively, but after a consistend build of high scores in previous rounds, HH2 friends were safe, and didn't necessarily need their round 7 20 point jump.
