It was another eventful Tuesday night at Bar Charlie! We had 7 teams all playing for the chance to win bragging rights (and a gift card to come back).
Round 1 found Sleeping Booty starting off strong with all their General Knowledge, while Cottonheaded Ninnymugginses decided to sit this round out, until they saw how much fun everyone else was having playing trivia, and came in to start on Round 2, the Picture Round. Those music logos had a couple of teams seeing double-or-nothing, and brought The Misfits and At Least His Dog is Cute out as the front runners.
Round 3, the Theme Round - A Star is Born had a few more teams test their luck with Double or Nothing, evening the tally with scores in the 20's. The Guess Who round (4), was confusing for some, who turned in their answers too soon, and guessed wrong, while another team decided they were better off not turning in anything than maybe getting the wrong answer and minus 1 point.
Round 5, Find the Connection, was a tough one this week, just a Stone's throw away for some, but no one got all 10 right this time around. On to the Matching handout for Round 6, no Olympia is not a country, but we did have four teams get all the athletes paired correctly with their country from the Olympics - although only two of them were certain enough to mark the Double-or-Nothing box for double the points!
Finally Round 7 had most of the teams stumped on listing out ALL 9 of the "Real Housewives" regions listed .Who knew there were 9 different cities/areas of "Real Housewives"? Apparently nobody, because the most any team got right were 8 of them.
It was super close up through the whole game, and we had some amazing team work from everyone who played. In the end it was The Misfits who pulled into first place, followed by Quizards of Oz in second, and Sleeping Booty in third. Great job to everyone who played, and thank you for those who didn't come to play, but stayed and played anyway! Let's keep this momentum going - bring your friends 🙂
Thanks to my "assistant" Kari this week, you did great! And of course, thanks to our lovely bartender, Amy, and Christian for hosting us at Bar Charlie!

It was a bit of a slow start for our 3 teams this Tuesday at Bar Charlie, with a tough first round of questions. Teams were pretty steady neck-in-neck-in-neck with each team inching forward through the first 5 rounds.
Round 1's "General Knowledge" was not so common knowledge. Then in Round 2's Pictures, the teams picked up some speed, getting most of the Lego Minifigures properly paired with their movie characters. Round 3 had the teams wishing and cursing to get the answers.
Round 4 is typically a person, but this week, it was a Place, so this threw off at least one team, who turned in an incorrect answer, costing them a point, and the other two teams waiting it out until they were sure they had the correct answer to turn in their sheet. In Round 5, two of the three teams were able to Find the Connection for question 10 - Balls!
And then once we got to Round 6, the matching round, DJ Khaled's songs were matched up properly with their featured artist WITH the Double or Nothing checked, pulled Nonino into the lead.
It was still anyone's game in Round 7, though, as any one of the teams could have double-or-nothing'd their way to the top - but no one was certain enough in their "E for Excellent" to get them all.
In the end we had Nonino in 1st, Quizzard of Oz in 2nd, and "And in Third Place" right where they wanted to be in 3rd!
Great job everyone! See you next week!

Drinks! Food! Questions! And Pooches! These all made for a great night of trivia at Bar Charlie!
Risk it for the Biscuit risked it with a Round 2 Double or Nothing giving them a solid early on.
Sleeping Booty also had a strong first half, just keeping ahead of Blumpkin Spice Latte. Feels Like Second Place slowly, but surely gained ground, until tying with Blumpkin Spice Latte in Round 5.
Round 6 things finally came to a head- Risk it for the Biscuit scored big with another Double or Nothing. BlumpkinSpice Latte, pulled out in front of Sleeping Booty, as did Feels Like Second Place!
Finally in Round 7, Risk it for the Biscuit dominated the night with 74 points, but only 3 points separated the remaining 3 teams with Blumpkin Spice Latte taking 2nd Place with 41 points, and Feels Like Second Place just barely edging out Sleeping Booty for 3rd by 1 point!
It was exciting right up to the very end! Come out next Tuesday for more trivia action!
