QUIZ RECAP

With huge thanks to Paul for filling in in my absence, I was "back in the saddle" at Collision Brewing tonight. My thanks also to all the players who so warmly welcomed me back. Tonight's game was EXCELLENT, as all 5 teams were in the hunt most of the night.

#momjeans jumped out in front early by converting a successful double-or nothing in Round 1. Returners F Words For $500 were hamstrung all night after a missed double try in the first round, while first-timers Dysfunction Junction calmed their internal fear of being skunked with a 3 in Round 1; they had so much fun, they registered their team mid-game and promised to return!

It was a 3-team race most of the night, and Gold vs. Gold hit on a double in Round 3 to close to within 2 points of #momjeans, with Brown Chicken, Brown Cow lurking in 3rd. All 5 teams scored the correct answer in the Guess Who round (kudos to #momjeans for correctly answering after the 8 point clue!), and Gold vs. Gold, Brown Chicken, Brown Cow and #momjeans ALL converted double-or-nothing bids in Round 5 to separate themselves from the other 2 teams. #momjeans suffered a failed double attempt in Round 6 to drop them into 3rd, where they finished; Gold vs. Gold & Brown Chicken, Brown Cow each converted a 2nd consecutive double and were separated by only 3 points entering Round 7. Interestingly, all 5 teams answered the first 6 questions (or more accurately, the first two sets of 3) correctly; Gold vs. Gold answered 2 of the remaining 3 correctly to coast home for the win ($30 gift card + a fresh 6-pack), while Brown Chicken, Brown Cow's 6 points clinched 2nd place ($20 gift card). Hats off to Dysfunction Junction, who "got the hang" of the game and converted the only successful double in the final round and leapfrogged F Words For $500 to finish 4th.

To all the players...I missed you. See you next week!
