QUIZ RECAP

Wednesday trivia is back at Oaks with a vengeance!

Tonight has one of the closest games I've had in a very long time and it featured a stunning comeback. Lets get into it!

Seasonal Allergies started out the night with zero points for round one when they incorrectly guessed the leprechaun as the national animal of Scotland (It's the unicorn) and doubled down.  That understandable error gave Three 7 Mafia an early lead, which continued for a decent chunk of the evening. 

Both teams had a little trouble before correctly guessing Samuel Jackson as the Guess Who round answer, getting it right during the four-point question.

The teams were able to successfully sleuth out the theme in round five, which ended with Three 7 Mafia having a 10 point lead.

THEN ROUND SIX HAPPENED...

Seasonal Allergies has lost his teammate and was running as a one-man army, it was him against the world. Round six involved identifying the Spanish names for several animals and Seasonal Allergies HAD A PERFECT ROUND!!!! All eyes were on Three 7 Mafia who also got all of the answers right but DIDN'T  USE DOUBLE OR NOTHING.

Folks, we were headed into the final round of the night with a tie game. Seasonal Allergies overcame a 10 point deficit to tie with the powerhouse Three 7 Mafia.

Round seven required teams to list the states that first ratified the Constitution. 

Teams submitted their answers and a figurative hush fell over the crowd.

The host milked it as long as they could before announcing that the winning team had won by A SINGLE POINT.

Three 7 Mafia emerged from the rubble victorious, a well-earned first place after a fantastic evening of trivia. Seasonal Allergies took their last-minute loss like a champ and deserves special notice for operating as a one-man band for the majority of the evening.

No bad blood between these teams as "congrats" and "good game" were passed around like the wonderful beverages The Oaks offers were.

This was just the first week of Wednesday trivia at the Oaks. be sure to join next week to see what happens!
