QUIZ RECAP

The wet weather kept some players away but we had a good turnout at Collision Brewing tonight, even with 2 teams of "regulars" missing. All 5 teams scored 3 of a possible 6 in Round 1, but #momjeans set the tone for the evening by converting a double-or-nothing in Round 2 and were never seriously challenged. Newcomers Team Awesomesauce were crippled by a failed double bid in Round 3; with several young children at their table, they lasted 5 rounds before making their exit. 4 of the 5 teams gave the correct answer for 10 points in the "Guess What" round; Trebek's Rejects knew the answer but thought it was too easy and outthought themselves, eventually scoring 8. When #momjeans hit another double for 20 points in Round 5, the rest of the field was left playing for 2nd place. First-timers Elbow Macaroni played consistently and well until the handout round; they were baffled by the array of hip hop artists, and the 1 point they took in that Round 6 kept them from the medal stand. In the end, #momjeans cruised home with a stellar 66 points, with Trebek's Rejects finishing 2nd, a full 19 points back. Butterbeer Beaches nosed out Elbow Macaroni for 3rd by a single point.

Most of Trebek's Rejects will be absent next week, choosing Billy Joel at Coors Field over Trivia Night at Collision (!). I look forward to seeing many of you again next week!
