QUIZ RECAP

Woodstocks Santa Cruz has the best trivia crowd of anywhere. I dare you to disagree! We had 18 teams join us with 94 total players... Bring a few friends next week so we can break 100! In Round 1, we giggled at Elmo's fight with a rock and #Elmowasright. In Round 2, we all Thoth picture #2 was someone else, but the God of Learning had the last laugh. Congrats to Mommy Milkers for being the only team to get that one right! Also, comic book characters started to overtake the team roster as we started with The Green Goblins, then Peter Parker joined in Round 2, and then Ayla Team revealed that was their secret identity and they now wanted to go by their true name, Doc Oc. Round 3 left us all craving some Sopranos with a side of Tobasco Sauce, and the 3 Spidey-based teams were all very close in score. In Round 4, a whopping *11* teams recognized our Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman at the 10 point level! Thankfully, Team Peter Parker was one of them, or that would have been embarrassing, though they were still 1 point behind both nemesises... (Nemesisi?). In Round 5, 3 teams found the connection - shout out to Will Teach 4 Pizza, the Green Goblins, and Bricked Up on a Thursday! There was also a cheer as Peter Parker passed his opponents on the leaderboard. Go Spidey Go! In Round 6, a historic moment occurred: as I read the answers "rugby" and "football", the crowd was silent, but then erupted into applause for CHESS! The Queen's Gambit truly made a mark. And then... it all came down to feelings. Some teams knew all the stages of grief, and others experienced them as they dropped off the podium. Bricked Up on a Thursday managed to hold their 1st place position by *1 point*, despite getting 0 in a Double-or-Nothing that round. Will Teach 4 Pizza experienced many feelings as they took 2nd, but found out just how close they came to 1st. And thus, a rivalry was born. Mommy Milkers sprung into 3rd place on their first night back after the holidays. Peter Parker won Best Team Name because that was just too perfect with the Round 4 question and the Spidey villain teams. And we also had a prize for Most Enthusiastic this week, which went to Stoke Juice! Shout out to other contenders: Mommy Milkers, Bricked Up on a Thursday, and MeatBallerz. You all make Thursday nights great and I look forward to seeing all of you next week!
