As the great Nelly once said, "it's getting hot in here, so hot; so hot..." Not only have temperatures been rising in the great PNW, tempers rose at the Canterbury Ale House, where every Wednesday night is King Trivia night, and man were egos aflame!! 🔥
Tonight's game welcomed 5 newcomer teams:
and 3 returning players:
For Rounds 1-3, all teams were even keeled; however, in Round 4 (the clue round) the night took an interesting turn... 4 teams (Practically Strangers, Butts 'n Cats and Butts 'n Cats, the Red Raccoons, and team Whoof) answered incorrectly and earned themselves a -1 point denomination for the round; with 4 teams () making a strategic move by NOT ANSWERING, taking a zero for the round vs. the negative point penalty!!
Round 6 promised even more excitement as 2 teams went Double or Nothing!! Unfortunately things did not pan out, resulting in teams Lads Lads Lads and Whoof earning themselves a zero for the round! 😿
Moving in to our final round for the night, it was anyone's game as leadership had been changing hands every other round... But in the end their could be only one... and in the end, they may have been strangers, but they came together for a common good and took home the gold... 🏅
In first place, with a grand total of 36 points, team Practically Strangers!! And winning via tie-breaker (and by a single point!) newcomer team, and fans have f all things feline and heavy on the bass, team Butts ‘n Cats & Butts ‘n Cats with 35 points in second place!!
As always, a huge shout out to the staff of Canterbury Ale House: David, Joey, Danny, and Laticia.
This has been Ms. WestleeBee as emcee; good night and good luck. ❤️
