Busby's West has some the nicest and funnest folks coming in to play King Trivia, I must say! After an intense Monday Night Football game, seven marvelous teams joined us for our seven rounds, and winners earned their prizes for their high scores. These teams weren't messing around and were dropping their double-downs to get ahead to their best effort! The Mohegan Suns came so close to third place, but The Bakeys beat them to it by just one point. They were four points behind The Mohegan Suns, when but got ahead doubling down on Round Five. With a final score of 61 points, The Bakeys won third place and received a $10 GC for their next visit, woop-woop!

Very tight scores between first and second place, as well. Quizzie McGuire finished with 77 points, doubling down Rounds Five and Six paid off, it landed them comfortably in second place, winning a $20 GC. Just two points shy of Orlando’s Bloomers, who took first place with a total of 79 points. They were awarded a juicy $30 GC for their next visit to Busby's. After all, they need to come back and defend that title! 

A most sincere thank you to all of the wonderful players that joined us this week, and congrats to you all of you as well! As I always say, strategy sometimes doesn't show the smarts, but your QuizMaster knows what's up, so well done ,and well played! Thank you Busby's West for having us for some King Trivia, we'll see you next Monday!

There are several important plot points to consider when talking about this game but the most important is understanding that it fell on an evening where Los Angeles receives one of the handful of rainstorms it gets per year. 

The rainfall caused an unfortunate delay to the LA Chargers football game which caused an unfortunate delay to the trivia game, however the show MUST go on. After the Chargers prevailed in their game, the trivia teams gathered around for their own. The game was shortened down to 3 simple rounds: General Knowledge, a Picture Round, and a Matching Round.

Our general knowledge round saw several ties: with both RIP Tina Marie Carter and Outside Beers in the lead, The LA Lightning Delays in second, and tie for third between Lucky Lar and Guys Being Dudes Beings Guys.

The picture round then pulled the mask off who in room is a true coffee aficionado by asking them to match coffee companies to their logos. The race for first place continued, LA Lightning Delays kept their second place spot, and Lucky Lar secured their spot in third. 

For our final round, players had to match famous real life and fictional Misters to their real names. LA Lightning Delays shot to the top with the Double or Nothing bonus! Outside Beers went home with the second place prize and left RIP Tina Marie Carter and Lucky Lar in a tiebreaker for third. Neither team knew how many jumps Evel Knievel has attempted (according to his website) but Lucky Lar came the closest with their guess of 86 (the answer is 151).
