Winning at King Trivia pub quizzes is not just about what you know. When it comes down to it, it's really about how you play the game. The best teams have off nights, and the worst teams, if they play enough, will have on nights. Knowing when to double, or not double, is a vital part of winning.
Team Santa's Driedels exercised the right amount of restraint, doubled at the right times, and in doing so, decimated the other teams handily. Currently ranked at #108 in our Season X Tournament of Champions, they are likely to qualify for the $10,000 finale.
Emerging contenders The Ball Carriers finished second tonight, though the final scores are not as close as the quiz was, up until the final rounds.
If you've never drank a beer inside a supermarket (legally), you owe it to yourself to make your way over to Bar Rincon, inside Whole Foods, at The Collection, in Oxnard (remember to separate prepositional phases with commas!). It's pretty fun. I suggest Wednesday nights at 7, just saying...
Team Double Fisting doesn't play that often, but when they do, they usually win. Tonight was no exception, as they had 73 points in the top spot. Flying Chanclas, albeit a smaller version of their team, took second with 61. Shout out to Rest in Peace captain Don, who is leaving us to pursue his Masters degree!
The Ball Carriers have proven themselves as formidable competitors in the King Trivia sweepstakes. They won again Monday night at Bar Rincon, with a pair of doubles in the late rounds. Hail Satan's Dreidels kept up with them for most of the quiz, but fell off, settling for Second Place.
I will close this recap with the answer to tonight's social media question:
HAIL SATAN!
