QUIZ RECAP
What a night at Collision! We had the best turnout ever: 9 teams, 52 players, all tables filled, we even had to sit one team at the bar (and turn away some late comers)! On top of that there was a tie for 1st after 7 rounds...between two teams of first timers! The manager of Collision was so happy, he threw in a six-pak of Collision beer for each of the top 3 teams!
The teams were tightly bunched all night; 4 teams scored 5 and 4 scored 4 right out of the gate in Round 1 (newcomers 3 Gen started slowly but finished with a bang!). First-timers Free Chicken Free Beer notched a 7 (of a possible 8) in Round 2, with Brown Chicken, Brown Cow scoring 6; no fewer than 5 teams scored 5 points and no one scored less than 4. Trebek's Rejects and newcomers Greenland Realty each doubled for 12 points in Round 3 to move into 1st and 2nd positions respectively, and Round 4 saw 4 Way Stop leapcGreenland into 2nd by correctly answering the 10-point "Guess What" clue. No fewer than 6 teams got all 10 right in the Find The Connection round, with 5 of them (#momjeans, Our Drinking Team Has A Trivia Problem, Gold vs. Gold, Free Chicken &) doubling. After 5 rounds, 4 Way Stop led Free Chicken by 2 points & Gold vs.Gold by 4 but 6 teams were within 8 points of the lead. Greenland Realty hit a successful double in the Handout Round to jump into 1st place,1 point in front of 4 Way Stop and 2 points ahead of Free Chicken Free Beer; entering the final round, 6 teams were within 5 points of the lead. Free Chicken's 9 points left them in a tie for 1st with Greenland Realty (which scored 7); 4 Way Stop, Gold vs. Gold and Trebek's Rejects each scored 5, leaving 4 Way Stop to hang on to 3rd place while Gold nosed out the Rejects by a point for 4th. Hats off to 3 Gen for being the only team to get all 10 answers right in the final round, and for doubling to boot!
All that was left was to determine a winner, and Greenland Realty's guess was off by more than 200, while Free Chicken Free Beer were within 20 to win; both teams (along with 4 Way Stop) scored a sixer of Panzer Vienna Lager. It was a well-played game all around, and an excellent night at Collision. See you next week for the special Birthday edition!
