Trivia started out a little slow this week. Round 1 was a tough one, where the only two teams who scored 6 points were those who received two bonus points for having their team registered at KingTrivia.com. The most commonly missed question of the round was What state has Charleston as it's capitol? Every team wrote down South Carolina, when in fact the answer is West Virginia.
So, we moved along to Round 2, our picture round to name the series by it's opening title picture. Great work done by No Use For a Name, who got all 8 pictures correct! Could've doubled down, but didn't, playing it safe.
Our theme round kept everyone's scores pretty static, each scoring 3 points in Round 3, relating to Italy.
In Round 4, Guess Who had a tricky 10-point clue, costing one point each to Kennewick Warriors and Alex Trebek's Illegitimate Children who turned in an incorrect answer on the first clue. The rest of the teams all guessed correctly after a few more clues.
Finding the Connection in Round 5 was tougher than usual this week as well. The answers all included the last name of a famous actress who has been nominated for an Oscar... Not an easy connection to find.
Moving on to Round 6, our matching round, the teams needed to identify the movie within a movie. Great work to Impeachy Keen who got all the answers right, shooting them to the top of the score sheet.
The Final Round had the teams talking travel, specifically airports, naming the ten countries with the most airports. For the most part, the teams were able to correctly guess the top 6-7: USA, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, Russia, Argentina, and Colombia; but missed the bottom 3: Bolivia, Paraguay, and Indonesia.
All teams put their best effort forward and had fun, and that's what its really all about, isn't it?
Okay, if you must know, your top 3 teams for the night were Impeachy Keen in 1st, We Thought This Was Speed Dating in 2nd, and No Use For A Name in 3rd!
Don't forget to register your team on KingTrivia.com to get those 2 extra bonus points! See you next week!

It was a fun night to have a going-away party for one of our regulars! Best wishes to Seth - you'll be missed, but hopefully Riff Raff will carry on and stay in the running for the Tournament of Champions!
This week was a close run between Riff Raff and Pundering, battling it out for first place, each doubling down on one round only, but keeping the healthy competition alive between them.
Spruce Moose brought in some new friends this week as well, helping them get to their third place spot, with Wacka Flacka Flames close behind. Also, thank you to We Met on Craigslist for sticking it out and finishing the game with a double-or-nothing loss.
You all did great, and I appreciate you all spending your Tuesday nights with us at Bar Charlie. Come back and see us again next week!

It was great to be back with my trivia regulars this week! We had a full house with teams ranging in size from two to ten people, proving that while having a large team is certainly more fun, it doesn't necessarily guarantee a win.
It was a close run between our top two teams, Riff Raff and Team BS, each one having their time in the lead. Meanwhile, Spruce Moose and OTrivia Newton John both tried to double down on Round 3, but missing the double by 1 wrong answer, pushing them below the curve.
Round 4 was also a tough one this week. Three teams, The Misfits, It Is Your Birthday, and Quid Pro Quo Mother F**ker, got so close, but still a second cousin away from the correct answer. It was Sam Adams, not John Adams!
Riff Raff secured their lead by going Double-or-Nothing on Round 6, matching the War movies with their lead actor.
Final scores had our top 3 as Riff Raff in first place, Team BS in second, and No Use For A Name in third!
Great job everyone! Thank you all for coming out - and a special thanks to It Is Your Birthday for spending your birthday Tuesday with us at Bar Charlie and King Trivia!
See you all next week!
