QUIZ RECAP

We had a great turnout and a nice cross-section of teams tonight, including a couple of teams returning after some weeks away as well as some first-timers who stumbled upon the game and stayed; Trebek's Rejects were all at the Billy Joel concert. Regulars Brown Chicken, Brown Cow returned after a 3-week absence and topped the field, scoring 16 of a possible 20 to jump in front after 3 rounds. No fewer than 3 teams took a -1 in the Guess Where round; Our Drinking Team Has A Trivia Problem (back after 2 months' absence) and the newly-renamed Elbowz had the high score with 6. Rejected Llamas, they of the creative answers, played respectably but could not recover from their -1 in Round 4; Spongebob Squarepants walked into an already-underway game and acquitted themselves well, most importantly by having a good time. Elbowz finished strong with 21 of a possible 28 in the final 3 rounds but were still nosed out for4th by #momjeans; the Moms were their usual steady selves but were (also) done in by the -1 in round 4.

Trivia Problem were strong throughout (with the exception of naming the golfers) and closed with 24 of a possible 28 points in the final 3 rounds; they were poised to take second place...but Butterbeer Beaches rebounded from their -1 in the Guess Where round to hit a successful 20-point double in Round 5 AND score 10 out of 10 in the handout round to vault past them. Butterbeer Beaches in fact moved briefly into 1st place after their double but were immediately leapfrogged by a successful double by Brown Chicken, Brown Cow in the handout round. No team scored higher than 5 (of 8) in the final round, leaving Brown Chicken, Brown Cow with a comfortable 8 point margin of victory. I hope to see you all again next week!
