QUIZ RECAP

Another very fun night of King Trivia at Strand Brewing Co. in Torrance. 10 teams showed up and all very energetic and ready to play. Last week's champ was not there so Iron Man got to hang out with me for the evening until getting his picture taken with the 1st place team.
Typically, the teams got off to a slow start except of course We Suck At Trivia who scored a perfect 6! I do not believe they suck. Anyway, the game progressed and the pace picked up with all teams competing very well. Had some creative answers and awarded a couple of extra points for that. If the answer is wrong but makes me laugh that deserves a point!
For the free beer round I had the teams make a paper airplane to be tossed the farthest for the win. One at a time a rep from each team made their toss and there were some great ones and few that didn't go too far. Howard Stern's Penis rose to the occasion and tossed what I thought would be the winner. Some "stiff" competition for sure :-). Tip Of The Spear stepped up and promptly threw a beauty and wound up winning a fresh 4 pack of Little Bear IPA. Must have gone 20 yards or so.
After the fun was over back to business and Round 5 saw an interesting twist. Great Minds Drink Alike was tied for the lead with 26 and doubled and missed! 2 teams moved ahead of them and they remained tied with Bye Bye Bobit, because amazingly they also doubled and missed! It was a 7-horse race heading into rounds 6 and 7. In the end Great Minds Drink Alike hung tough in 6 and made up for missing their double in 5 and doubled and nailed it in 7. They got to hold IronMan for their 1st place finish and will sit with them when we play next week. Beer Guzzlers were right on their heels with a successful double in 6 but fell short by 5 at the finish.
There were quite a few 2 person teams like We Drink And Know Nothing and I am impressed at how well they do against the larger squads.
It was a very exciting evening and fun was had by all. Yours truly made a few rookie mistakes once again but I'm learning and hope to have it all under control very soon.
Until next Wednesday, peace and trivia to you all
