QUIZ RECAP
This was an interesting game where round 1 was a big determination of the finals results of the game with our top 4 contenders getting perfect scores (2 of them doubling), while The Number of Homeless Dudes Sean Had Blown Is, a usual contender, had a failed double in round 1 which left them too wounded for the rest of the game.
Fear of Flying found themselves tied for 3rd with Elbow Grease, despite having more wrong answers (overall & in round averages) than Elbow Grease (who found themselves in the lead for the entire 1st half). The tie was forced mostly in part by an extremely well timed double by Fear of Flying in round 5. The luck continues for Fear of Flying as they take the tiebreaker & take the bronze!
Dan Would Know That had a breakout performance tonight with 2 successful doubles & a perfect round! Showing an almost veteran like patience, they cruise into 2nd, taking the silver!
Many people believe that being a champion is all about scoring points, but the truth is, anyone can score points. Every dog has it's day. Anyone can be a winner, but to be a true champion, you need resiliency. Bruce Jennertalia displayed that brilliantly tonight. They stayed calm when the pressure was on, like in round 4 when they decided to play conservative & received a hugely important 2 points. They chose their opportunities very wisely, doubling in round 5, which doubled their entire score & kept them with the pack, & then there was their legendary double in round 7 (the only double that round), which had them leap frog over 4 teams! & just when we thought this wasn't Bruce Jennertalia's night tonight, they defy expectations, take the lead at the last possible moment, & take the gold! & thus the reign of our defending champions is at 2 weeks!

QUIZ RECAP
We had a rather conservative game tonight. There were 4 successful doubles in the 1st 3 rounds , but 3 of those were from the SAME TEAM! For the 1st time in my hosting career, I thought that maybe we would be in store for a perfect performance & it seemed that way until round 5.
The Presidential Approval Rating Is only doubled once, which saved them from an abysmal round 6. They do better than average in the other rounds & sail into 3rd, taking the bronze!
The Number of Homeless Dude Sean Has Blown Is also had a conservative showing with only one double. Their excellent performance in the 1st half was balanced by a mediocre performance in the 2nd half & they cruised into 2nd, taking the silver!
It's official! Bruce Jennertalia is back! They had a perfect game until round 5, doubling 3 times in a row! They came back to reality in the 2nd half, but the lead was already too great as they glide into 1st, taking the gold, & becoming the champions of the night!

QUIZ RECAP
We had a very conservative game for the first half of the game with only 2 doubles attempted (both being successful), but the pace quickly changed in rounds 5 & 6 with 9 doubles attempted (6 of which were successful). The last half of the game contained many shakeups, but one team emerged victorious!
Super Harvard were locked into battle with Fear of Flying the entire game with both teams getting similar scores throughout the game, including doubles in round 5. Super Harvard almost blew it in round 7 by getting a lower score & allowing Fear of Flying to force a tie. Luckily, for Super Harvard, they take the tiebreaker & the bronze!
Cartographers for Social Equality had a quiet 1st half of the game & it seemed as if they were going to be left in the dust after scoring a -1 in round 4. However, round 5 would prove to be the beginning of a miraculous comeback with 2 doubles in a row! This catapulted them into 2nd, & with a great round 7, they take the silver!
Having A Blast Crisis retained the lead for the entire 1st half of the game, but then they missed the memo of doubling in round 5, putting them behind. It was of little consequence however as they immediately snatch back 1st with a successful double in round 6 & stay there to end the game. They take the gold & are the champions of the night!
