Although it was a lighter night here at Public House for trivia, competition was fierce and friendly! Super Harvard lived up to their name and remained in the lead most of the night, finishing strong at the end and having one successful Double or Nothing round! The Number of Homeless Dudes Sean Has Blown Is..., Double Down Debutants, and Bruce Jennertalia were all neck and neck right vying for 2nd and 3rd places. In the end, both Bruce Jennertalia and Double Down Debutants pulled ahead to tie in Round 7, leading to a dramatic tiebreaker... and Bruce Jennertalia taking the silver!

In Drinking Bonus Round news, 7 of the teams participated in a tournament sudden-death-style series of Categories games. Each round was a new category and the first person to be unable to think of a thing in that category was out! In the end it was Super Harvard vs In Foles We Trust and Super Harvard pulled out the win for their free round! (I suspect it was this free round that fueled their clear path to victory after that.) Categories included: countries in Africa, banks, federal holidays, kinds of math, NFL teams, and shoe brands.

Great job teams! Thanks for another great night of trivia!

Well, Bruce Jennertalia dominated this week at Public House trivia! They took hold of the lead in the first round and never let it go! It was a night of tough questions, but our teams did a great job of racking up points regardless and keeping the energy high even as yours truly had some issues with her playlist...

The Kids Table held strong in second place and we had a nail-biter tiebreaker to determine 3rd place between The Number of Homeless Dudes Sean Has Blown Is and Roy Moore Signed My Yearbook. Both teams got to take home a win, though--RMSMY won the 3rd place title but TNOHDSHBI took the drinking round title by telling a chuckle-inducing scarecrow joke to win the joke-off.

See you all next week!

A fabulous and well-attended night of trivia last night! The Kids Table, the Demogorgons, The Gryffindwhores, and The Number of Homeless Dudes Sean Has Blown Is... were all in fierce competition for one of the top three spots for most of the night. That is, until The Kids Table doubled successfully for 20 points on the Find the Connections Round and pulled into the lead for the rest of the night! Congrats to our top 3 teams, and everyone else who kept the night going!

Deserving a special shout-out: the winners of our skills drinking round,  Bruce Jennertalia! Their representative masterfully outwitted the other teams in a lightning-fast rock-paper-scissors tournament and was rewarded for his efforts with a free round of drinks for his table. Congrats!
