QUIZ RECAP

Greetings everyone. Well it was my 2nd gig as a sub and all in all it was a very fun evening. Brouwerij West is an awesome venue with tons of space and tables for the teams. It's a very easy setup for the Quizmaster since the house provides the sound and music! Richard the manager was an outstanding host and made me feel right at home. He even helped me out with my 1st senior moment of the night! I brought 2 color copies of the pictures for the picture round but forgot to make black and white copies for the teams. Richard very kindly made me some copies. My lovely wife Anne also came to be my assistant and did a great job keeping me on track.

The game got off to a great start and all teams were engaged and having fun. It was a 6 horse race right up to round 5. Round 5 brought out the gambler in 5 of the teams and they all doubled.........and missed! Counter Intelligence actually had the correct answer (UK) but crossed it out and put England, a heartbreaking zero for me to record. Had they kept UK they probably would have sealed 1st place. Round 6 saw 3 teams double and nail it which then turned it into a 3 horse race. Great Minds Drink Alike and Counter Intelligence were tied at 56 heading into round 7 with That's A Tasty Burger nipping at their heels with 47. In the end Great Minds Drink Alike pulled away with the win with 67 points with Counter Intelligence 2 points away with 65! Just shows how crucial those 2 points for turning in your pen can be. That's A Tasty Burger finished a strong 3rd and it was a very exciting finish. A shout out to Brewsual Suspects who only had 1 player who scored a very respectable 43. Mild Stallions fought very hard and doubled unsuccessfully 4 times but you gotta admire their fight.

My 2nd senior moment was forgetting to read the answers to Round 7, I went right to the results! Gonna have to work that one out.

I also debuted my Iron Man action figure (picture attached) as the 1st place trophy. Great Minds got to have their picture taken with him and got a real kick out of the fact he talks!

My sincere thanks to all for allowing me to host and for such a great game. Peace to you all........Quizmaster Greg

QUIZ RECAP

The Trivia questioned seemed especially rigorous this week, but rather than be discouraged, it just heightened the competitive spirit of the many teams that came out. Cool Story Brew fought the hardest with a double or nothing right out of the gate. This put them in the lead and amazingly, they were able to maintain first place every round until the very end of the game. Every round other teams attempted to surpass them and they often came within a couple of points. Even at the end of the game Menace to Sobriety got second place and were only 3 points away from first prize. For third this week teams were especially competitive with 2 teams tying for third place: Hold On... My Mic is Acting Up and Beer me Blazer. Beer me Blazer won the tie breaker by a landslide and claimed the title of third place. Tonight at Brewery West battle lines were drawn, friendships were tested, but ultimately we all survived, had a few drinks, and had a great time.

QUIZ RECAP

After last week's epic trivia night, I figured that teams would appreciate a change of pace. Last week was a blast, but in all of it's rigor and excitement it was almost the length of Avenger's Endgame. So this week I challenged teams with speedier questions and more intensity as a whole. Boy, did everyone rise to the occasion!

The team that proved the fastest and brightest this week was the Brewsual Suspects! The Brewsual Suspects have placed almost every week that I have hosted trivia, but since I started as host of Brouwerij West this is their first time winning it all. In second place we had the Mild Stallions, also a team that has often placed in the past. And in third, was Cool Story Brew, our definite underdog of the night. Cool Story Brew started the game in the bottom of the pack and stayed there through much of the game, but then in an impressive feat they did a double or nothing in round 6 and scored big in round seven. With impressive speed and stealth, Cool Story brew snuck their way right into the third place prize.

We will be keeping up the energy, speed, competition, and intensity next Wednesday at Brouwerij West.
