QUIZ RECAP
Fun times at Collision this week....we had a tie for 1st, only the 3rd time in my 2+ years that's happened!!
Trebek's Rejects successfully doubled in the Picture Round to jump to a 7-point lead over #momjeans after 2 rounds. 4-Way Stop were consistent throughout and were high scorers in Round 3 (5 of a possible 6), while Cautiously Optimistic were the definition of steady, scoring 4 or 5 in 6 of the 7 rounds. #momjeans were the only team to correctly answer the 6-point clue in the Guess What round (everyone else got it for 4) and had closed to within 4 points of the lead.
When #momjeans tried for the double in the Find The Connection round but only got 9 right (resulting in a zero), Trebek's Rejects looked to be home free, leading the pack by 9 points. In round 6, Rejected Llamas (languishing in last place all night) hit a successful double to close to within a single point of the leaders; their score of 4 left them in 3rd place, their first time on the figurative winner's stand. Congrats to Rejected Llamas!
Trailing by 14 points entering the final round, #momjeans then converted a double of their own; the resulting 20 points left them and Trebek's Rejects tied atop the standings with 49 points! The Moms guessed 169 minutes for the tiebreaker question (total length of the "super duper cut" of Deadpool 2), while Trebek's Rejects' guess of 142 was within 8 of the correct answer 134; Trebek's Rejects were the winners by that single point. Well played, all! Incidentally, a tip of the hat to those who built this week's question set; the teams were genuinely challenged at every step. Well done!
To the players, great game this week, let's do it again Thursday!
