QUIZ RECAP

After a week off, we had another excellent game at Collision tonight, with a full house too! Things got off to a fairly even start but in Round 2 no fewer than 5 teams successfully hit a double-or-nothing: #momjeans, Trebek's Rejects, 4-Way Stop, Slingers and Jeffrey Dahmer's House Of Ribs separated themselves from Limoncello and newcomers Satan's Little Helper. #momjeans, Trebek's Rejects & 4-Way Stop folowed that with ANOTHER double. turning the rest of the night into a 3-team race; this was underscored in the Guess Who round as Limoncello and Slingers declined to answer while House of Ribs and Satan's Little Helpers each took a -1. Trebek's Rejects were high scorers in that round, correctly answering for 6 points to take a 2-point lead over #momjeans and 4-Way Stop. Those three teams AGAIN doubled successfully in Round 5 (kudos to Slingers for getting 9 out of 10), but in Round 6 #momjeans took the lead by scoring 10 of a possible 10 (as did Slingers) to move 2 points in front of the Rejects and 3 in front of 4-Way. Trebek's Rejects made a bid for the lead with 9 of a possible 10 in the final round but that score was matched by #momjeans who repeated as winners, 2 points clear of the Rejects with 4-way Stop a further 2 points back in 3rd. Slingers played well to finish 4th with 50 points while Jeffrey Dahmer's House of Ribs (with birthday boy Dan) were also strong but could not recover from the -1 in Round 4 and were 3 points back in 5th place.

We're on for next week, hope to see you all back at Collision!

QUIZ RECAP

We had a GREAT turnout tonight at Collision, and another well-played game. Trivia Trumps Debates and #momjeans jumped out quickly, with 5 & 4 in Round 1 respectively and a successful double for 16 in Round 2; the night turned into a 2-team race between them for most of the game. Trivia Trumps Debates suffered a brief setback, taking a zero (along with Trebek's Rejects) from a failed double-or-nothing bid in Round 3, but each rebounded to score 6 in the Guess Where round; Fleetwood Mac Sex Pants and 4-Way Stop each took a -1 in that round to drop out of contention. Let it be noted that Limoncello, #momjeans and Trivia Trumps Debates also correctly answered the 6-point clue; credit must also be given to Dan who represented the Wet Dream Catchers by himself and was steady throughout.

In Round 5, #momjeans and Trivia Trumps Debates each doubled successfully, separating themselves from the pack and setting up a 2-team race for 1st place; 4-Way Stop and Trebek's Rejects each scored 9 out of 10 in that round. Fleetwood Mac Sex Pants hit a stunning double in the handout round to leap into 3rd place, where they would finish. Entering Round 7,#momjeans led Trivia Trumps Debates by 6 points; Trebek's Rejects, calculating (and stating) that they had "nothing to lose", tried for a miracle double to leap onto the podium.....and, agonizingly, got 9 of 10 right; their zero left them in tied for 4th with Limoncello. Insert Team Name Here, newcomers last week who came within 1 point of winning, started slowly tonight but were steady throughout to finish 6th. At the top of the table, Trivia Trumps Debates scored 8 (of a possible 10) in Round 7 but could not catch #momjeans, who coasted to a 7-point win by scoring 9. Hats off to the Moms: they hit 2 doubles, scored 9 of 10 twice and a 5 out of 6 on their way to victory.

We're off next week for Thanksgiving but will see you again the first week of December!

QUIZ RECAP

It was a packed house tonight at Collision, and in spite of some technical issues (read: quizmaster errors) we had quite the spirited, and close, game. Trivia Trumps Debates jumped out to the early lead, doubling successfully in Round 1 and notching the high score (7) in Round 2 to lead Trebek's Rejects by 7 and #momjeans by 8 after 2 rounds. We had two teams of newcomers tonight, and 4 Beers and a Bux were steady if unspectacular; they threw caution to the wind in Round 7 by trying a double because they were 7 points behind the 3rd place team and took a zero but still finished a respectable 5th. The top 3 were unchanged throughout most of the night until 1st-timers Insert Team Name Here converted a successful double-or-nothing in the Find The Connection round to catapult into 2nd place, just one point behind Trivia Trumps Debates. At the other end of the standings, Limoncello and Slingers were battling to stay out of the cellar; Limoncello nosed Slingers for 6th by a single point. At the top of the standings there was a battle for 1st place, and a battle for 3rd. Trebek's Rejects were in front of #momjeans by 3 after 5 rounds but acted on the old adage "go big or go home"; they went for the double (and the lead) in Round 6 and ended up taking a zero, eventually finishing 4th, 1 point behind #momjeans. Meanwhile newbies Insert Team Name Here had closed to within a point of the lead but both they and Trivia Trumps Debates each scored 8 & 7 in rounds 6 & 7; Trivia Trumps Debates held on to win by a point while Insert Team Name were left to ponder the 2 points they left on the table by not registering their team.

It was an SRO crowd tonight, let's do it again next week before we break for Thanksgiving!
