QUIZ RECAP

Tonight's show was....different 😉

First, there was no PA system as the in-house mic had gone missing.

Second, there was no in-house wi-fi as it crashed each time players logged in; so we did the game the (REALLY) old-fashioned way, with teams submitting written answers after the quizmaster went to each table to read each question(!!!).  Still everyone had a good time; the patio at Cactus Jack's is alongside a river, the weather was perfect...how could one not have fun?

Kobra Kai and Short Form Memory each scored 5 of 6 in Round 1 to lead by a point; when All The Dicks and Phil & The Buttercups each scored 5 of 8 in the Picture Round, all the teams were tied with 10.  The Dicks (!) & The Buttercups each scored 5 of a possible six in the Theme Round to lead by a point, but Kobra Kai moved into first after 4 rounds by correctly answering the Guess Who? question after the 10-point clue! That doesn't happen very often...

From that point on All The Dicks scored 29 of a possible 30 points in the final 3 rounds (9-10-10) to cruise home as winners; Kobra Kai tallied 25 of a possible 30 (9-7-9) to take 2nd, three points back.  Phil & The Buttercups stumbled just enough down the stretch to make third place exciting, with Short Form Memory  coming up one point short of the theoretical bronze (Olympic metaphor!).

Hats off to the players for rolling with the situation, and for being such nice people.  Thanks also to the staff at Cactus Jack's; if you're ever in Evergreen, check it out, it's a lovely setting!
