This is your substitute quizmaster Paul, reporting on his trek from the East Bay down to Campbell. It was a raucous atmosphere over at LVL Up, with videogamers, pinball players and boardgamers joining the trivia players.
Returning champs Old Crows threw down the gauntlet with a double or nothing in the first round. That, coupled with their bonus points for having a registered team, catapulted them into a commanding lead. From there they were unassailable, ultimately taking 1st place, though a strong showing from Alf's Cat Hot Pocket got them within spitting distance with a solid second place finish. And a special mention should be made for Silver & Black & Blue, who placed third despite being a "team" of one.
Old Crows also managed to nail the bonus Santa Clara Library trivia question, taking home a $5 gift certificate and notebook in addition to their first place prize.
