It was a beautiful night at Cactus Jack's, and the patio was full; only three teams saw fit to play, while several others "followed along".

The game started with two teams, and a party of two sat down just as I was asking question 5 in Round 1 and asked if they could still play; they signed up, caught up....and won the night! All The Dicks jumped out to the early led with 5 of a possible 6 in Round 1, with 67 Impala right behind with 4; The Dicks also were high scorers in Round 2 with 6 out of 8, but the game remained tight as 67 Impala and First Place each tallied 5. 67 Impala jumped out in front by hitting a successful double-or-nothing in Round 3 (12 points), but when The Dicks and 67 Impala each took a -1 in the Guess Who Round, First Place's correct answer for 4 points left all 3 teams within 5 points. 67 Impala were high scorers in Round 5 (8 out of 10) but First Place leapfrogged everyone with a successful double in the Handout Round for 20 points. They were also high scorers in the final round to cruise home to the win with 51 points.

I had a great time, I look forward to doing it all again next week at Cactus Jack's!

It was an excellent showing at Cactus Jack's on Wednesday, with Short-Form Memory ultimately taking home the crown with a Threepeat!  Fun was had by all, with the regulars having a close battle and some newbies joining in on the fun!

In the General Knowledge round, Short-Form Memory and Tu Madre started strongly ahead with 5 points each, and 73 Roadkill trailed with only 3. 

The Picture Round featured female rappers, and by daring to Double or Nothing, All the Dicks moved into first place with 20 points! 

In the loser Themed Round, All the Dicks maintained their lead with 24 points, but Short-Form Memory was able to decipher the clues in the Guess Who? Round to be Gwenyth Paltrow long before the only other correct guess (All the Dicks) moving into a very close second place! 

In the playing card themed Round 6, both Short-Form Memory and 73 Roadkill were successful in their attempts to Double or Nothing, bringing Short-Form Memory into a 10 point lead and a second place tie for 73 Roadkill and All the Dicks. 

The SNL themed matching round saw the same two teams Double or Nothing and win again, putting them in solid 1st and 2nd Place, and the famous painter question for Round 7 proved to not move anyone too far ahead. 

Short-Form Memory and 73 Roadkill both took home giftcards, and I hope to see everyone again soon!

Despite the ominous weather forecast, a great group turned out for trivia on the Cactus Jack's porch!  The rain clouds rewarded us by holding out until the end of the game, and the trivia gods rewarded us with a very close game!

Short Form Memory started strong, earning five points in the General Round, and they continued their lead into the Informercial Picture Round with 11 points, while The Funky Pugs moved into a close second place with 10. 

Round 3 saw everyone move onto the leaderboard, with King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard, EVG Avs, and Proud Heretics having 12 points each, and The Funky Pug, Short Form Memory, and All the Dicks in first place with 13 points.

Most teams correctly guessed Ozzy Osbourne in the Guess Who Round with the 4 point clue, but the Find the Connection round saw Short Form Memory return to first place with five points more than the closest team, King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard. 

Using their knowledge of Late Night bits, All the Dicks overtook King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard for second place, but a perfect round 7 of naming the Executive Departments in the President's cabinet kept Short Form Memory in first place!

Congrats to everyone on a game well played, here's to seeing y'all next week!
