QUIZ RECAP

If you've been following King Trivia on any form of social media, you know that THE TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS has returned. And tonight, to celebrate our inaugural weeks, we had some special guest stars in the audience.

A number of teams did very well on tonight's picture round, naming famous people that hailed from Asian countries, and lo and behold - some of those faces were among our players.

Big shoutout to Chairman Mao Zedong who bought the last place team a plate of mozzarella sticks and came up to the microphone to read Round 3 in his native language. A tough round as not a single team managed to get a correct response - great job, Mao!

Also making an appearance was Psy who regaled the crowd with a heartbreaking country rendition of "Gangnam Style". There wasn't a dry eye in the house!

Unfortunately, Jackie Chan was unable to make it but Barney's was kind enough to broadcast a message from him across all of their TV's as he wished the players good luck in the tournament, encouraged them to register their teams and suggested pulling some dope karate moves on anyone who was a few points ahead of you - ya know, to show them who's boss. Thanks Jackie!

Don't sleep on trivia nights, folks. Big things are happening all the time - gather your smart friends and head to a participating bar near you!

QUIZ RECAP

I was new to these teams tonight, and they welcomed me right in!

What a fantastic bunch of people.

The teams here were ready to compete!

On the round 4 guess who, most of them handed in a correct answer for a solid number of points. I was impressed, these teams are good.

Rounds 6 and 7 brought in a lot of high scores making it a tough race for the top spot.

Quizlamic state walked away with the number one spot, followed by Where’s Rachel in second and Harley and Ivy (winners of the tie breaker) in third.

Barney’s is an entertaining place to be for a night of King Trivia!

Captain's Log, Stardate 2018.3

There were more than usual tonight. Multiplying like Gremlins after the irregular LA rainstorm. Hungry for their HQ fix, wanting wings and trivia, they descended upon Barney's.

There was only me against the rising horde. My crew scattered, hosting their own horrors. Wielding a faulty pen and the answers, I held my own.

But they kept coming.

I clocked in a total of 38 warring tribes, each of them intent on coveting the gift card for their own.

I did my best to quell them but they kept coming. They knew Adam Sandler played Smitty on The Cosby Show. They'd grown up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. NFL franchise teams are what this world was built upon.

They knew - and they kept coming.

Their pens broke, their answer sheets got water on them, the team next to them was using some sort of electronic device - but through all of the pain and competition, they persevered.

Teams doubled and were successful. Some took guesses and were elevated to know they'd scored points for their team. The camaraderie was alive and you could feel it in the air. A pin could drop while the reading of the questions took place and you would have been able to determine where it had landed and the size of the pin, that's how quiet it was.

They were intent, listening, thirsting for knowledge.

These humans - they aren't so bad after all.

Except for the one that threw up in the urinal. He sucks.
