QUIZ RECAP

Wow, we had a full night with 33 teams, at least 140 players (plus a kid and a very sweet pup!), and not an empty seat in the house! Awesome!! Round 1 reminded us to check out the Question of the Day ahead of time on social media, as many of us guessed a random musician (or other celebrity). After the round, we introduced teams, and with permission from the family of the child present, we stayed uncensored with team names ranging from "Mario Farts" and "Lil Clitty" to "Oedipus And The Motherfuckers" and "Shit Fuck Penis Cock" (a team which didn't end up playing but definitely entertained us with their name)... and everything in between. Round 2 scores were "Trending" up with many successful Double-or-Nothings, while a few teams got close but couldn't quite Keep Up with who's who in the Kardashian and Jenner family. Then we sang a terribly off-key rendition of Happy Birthday to Liv and Ysa of team "Liv and Ysa's BDAY BASH". In Round 3, teams were really divided between two states, and half the room then learned that Los Alamos is not the same area as The Alamo. After that round, James with our super awesome sponsor Firestone 805 had prizes! After two rounds of a 1st place tie between Will Teach 4 Pizza and Cluckin' Cowgirls (who came prepared with super cool, shiny *matching hats*!), Cluckin' Cowgirls pulled ahead just in time for the midway prize! We also gave out Pity Prizes for the teams tied in last place (of the teams that had submitted that Round): TITUS! and The Cream Team. Round 4 went Smooth Like Butter. Shout-out to the four teams that got it at the 10 point clue: Cluckin' Cowgirls, TITUS!, Oedipus And The Motherfuckers, and Liv and Ysa's BDAY BASH! That also got the BDAY BASH team up into 2nd place, and Oedipus up to 4th. Round 5's connection was a slam dunk for most teams, and teams Fully Torqued and Ana Lisa Melculo traveled to the top of the leaderboard, knocking the birthday team to 3rd. Round 6 further Altered the leaderboard, as Liv and Ysa moved to the top spot, followed by Ana Lisa Melculo then Fully Torqued and a 3-way tie close behind in 4th. Then it all came down to geography. A lot of teams learned a valuable lesson: Mexico is part of *North* America. Ana Lisa Melculo locked in 1st place with a Double-or-Nothing, while Liv and Ysa had all the answers right but didn't Double-or-Nothing, taking them down to 2nd. So close! Lax is Life surprised us all by sneaking up into 3rd place. Meanwhile, best team name had soooo many great options. But the winner stood out by having the longest team name (by far!) and making the most people giggle, so the prize went to: "A band of pirates that gets progressively more homoerotic as the night goes on, except for one guy"! We didn't give out a Lowest Score for the end of the night, but I still must acknowledge team Still Flaccid Thanks For Asking, who swapped accounts just in time to get a -1 as their total score for the night, a new low score record!  Prizes tonight were off the hook - each team member of the winning teams got their own prize, choosing between a hat, sunglasses, or a bottle opener. Sweet! It was a truly fun night.
