QUIZ RECAP

What a night for trivia at Bar Charlie! We had 8 amazing teams join us this week, and some great competition.

Round 1 started out with some General Knowledge questions that had a few teams scratching their heads. As has become the trend, teams taking the lead were also those who are registered on KingTrivia.com to get those 2 bonus points and start the game off right!

The Picture Round asked teams to identify the TV show based off a picture of a teacher from that show. TWO teams doubled down on this round, bringing Riff Raff and Quiz on Your Face into the top two spots, while Pilsner Puzzlers should have also checked that double-or-nothing box to keep up.

In Round 3, we had our 8th team join in - thanks for agreeing to play, Nailed It! We had a lot of 4's scored this round and a couple of 5's, but for the most part, the teams kept their rankings steady.

The Guess Who round (Round 4) had Nailed It earning their name, by being the first team to turn in their correct answer, while the rest took 1 or 2 more clues to figure out who we were describing. Great job!

Round 5, Find the Connection appeared to be the toughest round of the night, with all the teams taking extra time to discuss their answers and figure out what that Connection was. Scores this round ranged from 3-8 points, with Risk it for the Biscuit topping this round.

The Matching Round up next might have been the best - Matching the Catchphrase with the TV character who said it. Six out of our eight teams decided to go Double-or-Nothing on this round, and it paid off for five of them! While N.A.* should have doubled down, and Booze + I.Q.'s would have done better if they hadn't, this round was definitely a game changer.

The Round 7 question had many teams upset at the question topic - Nailed It even boycotted the question altogether - something to do with "why should I care about the Kardashians?" and "I'm glad I don't know all of them." But alas, I don't write them, I just read them! Surprisingly, Riff Raff actually got 8 out of 10 on this question, the highest score for this round.

Bringing home the bacon was Riff Raff in 1st place, followed in 2nd by Quiz on Your Face, who only brought the toast, and Risk it for the Biscuit (brought the gravy) in 3rd.

It was so great having 8 teams and a full bar! Hope to see you all again next week! Keep up the great work 🙂

QUIZ RECAP

We had 3 fantastic teams for trivia this Tuesday! It was a close race from start to finish.

All three teams are registered on KingTrivia.com to get the 2 bonus points, and it showed! The first round of General Knowledge proved just how general this round of knowledge was, when all three teams not only got all the answers right, but also doubled down on them AND got the bonus points for the team number. So round one scores tallied up a tie at 14 points each.

In round 2, Riff Raff got a little over-confident, and doubled down on their picture round, but came in just shy, costing them dearly, while the other two teams each got 7 out of the 8 quarterbacks right, leaving us with just a two -way tie between I'm Here for the Gang Bang and Risk it for the Biscuit.

That didn't slow down Riff Raff in Round 3, for the Theme round, of triple dubs (W's, that is). They all told me this round was too easy, as each team correctly answered every question in Round 3, and went double-or-nothing, keeping a steady tie-lead for Risk it for the Biscuit and I'm Here for the Gang Bang.

Round 4, Guess Who was close as well, and while Risk it for the Biscuit and Riff Raff both guess correctly on the 8 point clue, but I'm Here for the Gang Bang almost forgot it could be a fictional character, so they waited until after the 6 point clue to turn in their answer.

Round 5, Find the Connection, two teams actually did find the connection, even without knowing all of the other answers.

The point gap really started to narrow off in Round 6, the matching round of decades to movie release dates, when Riff Raff and I'm Here for the Gang Bang both got 10/10 correct. That put us at 54-53-51 scores going into the final round...

Round 7, the Final Round, Behind Iron Curtain #1 wasn't as easy as some thought it was when they handed in their answer sheets. It asked for 10 of the 14 countries that the USSR broke up into in 1991 (excluding Russia). Risk it for the Biscuit knew their limits, and turned in their best try, but only getting 4 correct answers. Going for the gold, both Riff Raff and I'm Here for the Gang Bang decided to double-or-nothing their last round to take a stab at that W. I'm Here for the Gang Bang was so close, missing only 1 answer, so that meant Riff Raff took home the win with their 10 correct answers!!

Final scores brought Riff Raff to the #1 spot, followed by Risk it for the Biscuit in 2nd, and then I'm Here for the Gang Bang 3rd.

It was a fun night, bring all your friends, spread the word, and we'll see you all again next week!

QUIZ RECAP

We had a great group again this Tuesday for Trivia at Bar Charlie!

Riff Raff started off strong, scoring 7 points in Round 1 with all their General Knowledgery, while N.A.R.* and Launching Rocket Downtown brought up the rear.

Up next with the Picture Round, the teams had to grape-el through the purple characters, and N.A.R.* chose the wrong Sailor Moon character, costing them their double-or-nothing gamble.

Round 3 reminded us all of a childhood jingle, but a few teams forgot their bologna's name was the key to this round's theme. But this allowed The Valcoholics to sing into the lead.

The Guess Who round (4) this week was caught by 3 of our teams in the first clue, 1 team got it after the second clue, and 1 other team guessed semi-incorrectly - they put down the actor's name instead of the character we were looking for. In this case, we wanted the fictional character.

But, alas, we moved on into round 5... Find the Connection. Riff Raff came in with all 10 correct answers on this round! However, the most creative connection between the answers came from N.A.R.* - What do the previous 9 answers all have in common? - Things D. Trump has lied about... lol

The Matching round really secured the lead for The Valcoholics, who went double-or-nothing on their character and author pairings. Riff Raff could have kept up, but didn't commit to the double-down, and thus only scored 10 points on this round, while the Valcoholics took home 20.

The Final Round was a doozy! The question regarding the FIFA World Cup lead to confusion on whether we were asking for men's or women's teams, and whether clarification if the teams needed to make it to the finals. So while I did some research and recon work, the teams did their best to remain patient and discuss it amongst themselves. In the end, we had two teams go for broke on double-or-nothing, and needed a tie-breaker for 2nd place.

It was a true nail-biter til the end!

Final scores brought The Valcoholics home in 1st place, followed by I Pick My Knows, who won the tie-breaking question for 2nd place, and then in 3rd came Riff Raff. Great energy was shared as well by N.A.R.* and Launching Rocket Downtown.

Thank you all for coming out to play with King Trivia at Bar Charlie! I'll see you again next week!
