QUIZ RECAP

The Slugs were back in force tonight as UCSC resumed in person classes, bringing a number of returning teams we hadn't been for a bit. We went back over 100 players, as 20 teams and 112 total players joined us for a fun night of trivia, pizza, and beer! Bricked Up on a Thursday came prepared with reinforcements, hoping for a threepeat. Round 1 had an interesting combo of Euphoria, Super Soakers, and Fortnite. In Round 2, a lot of us forgot which day of the week Black Tuesday was. In Round 3, we learned about Herculaneum and the Spanish Steps. In Round 4, five teams correctly guessed the answer at the 10 point level - Shout out to teams Tater Tots, Sexy Slug Cigarettes, Quizzin' Your Pants, Dogfathers, and Bricked Up on a Thursday for that! In Round 5, a whopping *15* teams found the connection - a new record, and too many to shout out here! Throughout Rounds 1-5, Support Small Quiznesses and BevMo Hit Squad managed to keep Bricked Up held in check in 3rd place as those two teams tied for 1st. Meanwhile, Beer-a-holics and Quizzin' Your Pants matched each other in scores as well as humor. Then Round 6 had us all humming a bunch of different tunes... but we all came together for one song: We embarrassed one of our regulars, Brian of Will Teach 4 Pizza, with a boisterous Happy Birthday for joining us on his actual birthday! Followed by another round for another regular, Athena from Bricked Up, whose birthday was yesterday! Folks, just a reminder, we here at King Trivia *delight* in helping you embarrass your friends, so bring them out "for pizza" and let your Quizmaster know, and we'll do the rest. 😉 Finally, it was time for Round 7. Tater Tots had snuck their way into 1st in Round 6, knocking Bricked Up down to 5th place. Had their hopes of a 3rd week at the podium been dashed? It all came down... to hotties. Tragically, Tater Tots had talked themselves out of one of the names, knocking them down to 6th. So close! Round 7 had 4 teams correctly listing all 10 names: congrats to buff slug fan club, Mommy Milkers, Bricked Up on a Thursday, and BevMo Hit Squad. It led to a complete shake-up of the leaderboard, with team BevMo Hit Squad leaping back to take the crown, followed by buff slug fan club - a team that had been quietly staying just under the radar the whole night! Bricked Up on a Thursday made it back up to the podium by just *1* point to take 3rd. Our 4th place team, Mommy Milkers, still got a prize as they easily took Most Enthusiastic. And we had several contenders for Best Team Name, but two of the options left before prizes (always stay for prizes!) and so Prestenly Thicc took home the cup. We'll have a sub next week while I'm off doing a volunteer training, so I look forward to seeing you all in two weeks! Be nice to your sub in the meantime!!
