QUIZ RECAP

Rollicking!  Boisterous!  Competitive!  Exciting!  (Hey, throw in some adjectives of your own here!)  This Thursday’s Pub Quiz was remarkable for two reasons.  One, the increase of teams and participants and two, the number of Double or Nothing gambles that drove scores higher than this particular Quiz Master has seen, I can tell you!  Quiz Master Lou reporting here.  Well, as those of you who follow this column can attest, our resident champs, The Ninja Turtles, usually come out on top and this Thursday was no exception, but the evening did not start off that way!  Ten teams played last night’s game and to show how aggressive the gamesmanship was, we had a four-way tie for first place through Round Two!  Without giving anything away, sports questions are a big part of King Trivia Pub Quiz and in Texas, football is king!  That’s why I was amazed, but not surprised, that nine out of ten teams went Double or Nothing on Round Two and eight or them succeeded!  But wait!  That’s not all!  Three teams went DoN on Round Three and won!  Five teams went DoN on Round five and four won!  !!!  Stealth Texas consistently held the lead until Round Five, making Ninja Turtles chase after all night long and newcomer Los Vatos valiantly held the third position until the upset in Round Six.  Finals:  Ninja Turtles, Los Vatos and Stealth Texas.  A big Lion & Crown welcome to new teams Los Vatos, Finding Theon and The RÖntgen Squad.  Welcome back to regulars, Pickles on a Plate (who, so disgraced on their score in Round Six, renamed themselves P**p on a Plate for one round!), Beer Logic, Ship It!, Teachers on Vacay and those rowdy seniors from Ohio, Iffy (I swear I’m gonna have to call the bouncer on you guys!  You know who you are!)  As always, I remain, loyally yours…  Until next week, Pub Quizzers!
