QUIZ RECAP

Greetings and Salutations, my trivial friends. It's time for another episode of the King Trivia recap show. This week, six teams including one new registered team, played for the top prizes.

Our first round, the General Knowledge round, asked about the US Army's Phonetic Alphabet, who will be the next actress to play Queen Elizabeth on a popular Netflix show, and a popular online broadcasting format. Two teams, Tater Tots and new team For Scores! and 7 Beers, successfully doubled on the first round, and shared the early lead.

Round 2, our Picture Round, asked players to identify real and fictional military figures. Everyone knew who Zapp Brannigan was, but not one team was able to identify the first African-American to rise to the rank of Brigadier General in the U.S. military. After two rounds, For Scores! would hold a slight lead over Tater Tots.

Round 3, Cut From the Same Pattern, asked players to identify people involved, directly or tangibly, with the fashion industry. From Ralph Lauren's daughter's sweet business to the dress that helped to launch Google Images, most teams this quite well this time around. However, For Scores! gained a larger lead over the other teams.

Round 4, the Guess Who round, focused on someone who could truly be called America's Sweetheart, actress Reese Witherspoon. One team player from For Scores! started to yell out her name from a clue unrelated to acting, she was so excited to know who it was. They were the only team to get the Oscar-winner from the eight-point clue, which means they gained an even larger lead on the competition.

Round 5, as always, was to Find the Connection. And while many teams were able to answer many of the clues, only one team was able to properly make the connection of Paris. And For Scores! would continue to outpace the other teams.

Round 6 sought to match famous archipelagos to one of their islands. Most teams were able to get six to eight of the matches, with one team (can you guess which one?) gaining yet another point over the others.

Round 7 asked players to name the ten countries with the highest GDP in 2019. Most teams got seven or eight of the countries, but one team, Tater Tots, was able to successfully name all ten. Sadly, they did not double this time, which would have forced your humble quizmaster to use the tie-breaker question for the first time. And our winners this week would be the entire country of Lichtenstein, For Scores! And 7 Beers.

Thank you to everyone who came out to play King Trivia this week, and we hope to see you all again next week.
