Good thing those Dodgers were losing pretty badly to the D-Backs because nobody likes a "rain delay" when it's time for trivia. A solid game tonight as a lot of you went head to head for the first four rounds before a few of those Stranger Things themed questions did you in - the captain of the Winnipeg Jets, really? I know, I know. But it was a brutal little finish and several of you left with your drinks being paid so at the end of the day, winning really is everything.

A solid night of trivia happening at Barney's Beanery in Burbank. A tight race that slowly divided as the questions got tougher and the double or nothings either hit their mark - or missed entirely. The True or False: Space Edition drinking round also decimated half the teams after the first question (1000's of jellyfish orbiting Earth in 1991!) but the final hour held on strong. Yes, there is an actual nebula shaped like a manatee called the "Manatee Nebula". The more you know!

3 WAY TIE!

3 WAY TIE!

1-800-3WAY-TIE!

A three way tie for first place tonight. Insane. Congratulations to all the teams tonight but especially for our top three who battled it out in a tie breaker that was just as close as the entire game had been for the past two hours. Free Drinks on Chris had a nice lead going into the final round but instead of playing it safe decided to go double or nothing for the love of Ah-nold. Unfortunately, much to their chagrin, all of the Terminator movies save the first one were on the list of his 10 highest grossing movies. Which forced a three way tie between the other two teams that had been on their heels and played the last round safe - both successfully putting Total Recall and Twins on their lists to bump up those point counts. But Free Drinks on Chris managed to redeem themselves in the tiebreaker, the only team to not go over in our Price is Right rules criteria. The other two were just off by 5 and 6, respectively, but had to settle for second and third as we closed off another night of intense trivia-ing here at Barney's in the wild suburbs of Burbank.
