Thank you to everyone who kicked off their Wednesday here at GOAL -- we had a very intimate atmosphere, with seven teams circulating throughout the night.
Our newest regular team, Mark Dellham Sucks was indeed in it to win it -- they came prepared at 6PM, even before your Quizmaster got in -- and they blazed forward with their Eye of the Tiger all night long.
Many heads were better than one -- as the whole group of Mark Dellham Sucks -- took the lead from GOAL Regulators by Round 6, edging forward by a point.
That Will Ferrell round, tho! GOAL had a great guess with Nice in regards to the region of France -- but the answer was Burgundy!
And talk about putting your QM through the wringer with pronouncing all of those international independence days!
San-YAY Samoyed came to hold down the fort and play -- and despite being Canadian, had to guess about the Dominion Day (Pre-1982) corresponding with...Canada!
Props to Mark Dellham Sucks, GOAL Regulators, and SanYAY Samoyed for getting Ali Wong at 8 points and Boardwalk 11 and Bad Beaches for getting Ali at 6 points!
Just an Aussie also tried a veritable guess at the 2011 experimental drama starring Brad Pitt as Sean Penn's father -- proposing One Tree Hill to go with the tree theme 🙂
And how about the Drinking Round? We went through 49 of the 50 states and no one could name Mississippi! Just an Aussie was impressive again, holding down the fort into the Final Three.
However, GOAL rep won the Drinking Round by guessing 40 million which is closer to 39,747,267 for the population of California while Mark Dellham Sucks guessed 38 million. Both guessed correctly for Wyoming's 0.5 million population!
It seems like everyone knew their states far better than their National Parks in Utah or Colorado as that Round 7 definitely stumped a lot of teams!
Mark Dellham ended up with the W (and almost left without their prize!!!), and GOAL and Boardwalk 11 battled it out for Second Place. Boardwalk 11 made it to Second -- guessing 261 minutes for the longest time anyone has held an abdominal plank position while GOAL guessed 11,400.
Thank you everyone for a lovely game and let's keep on quizzin'!!!
