QUIZ RECAP

It was....different tonight at Collision Brewing. Turnout was below usual, most noticeably that #momjeans were not present. A table of newcomers joined in spontaneously but left after 3 rounds because "we have kids"; this left returners Brown Chicken, Brown Cow, Gold vs. Gold and Our Drinking Team Has A Trivia Problem. Gold vs. Gold threatened to run away with the night after a successful double-or-nothing in Round 2, and led wire to...almost wire. Their lead was in double digits all night,until the last round. Kudos to the research team on the "Guess Who" question, as only 2 teams got the answer right and each only for 2 points. The final question saw leaders Gold vs. Gold only able to name 4 out of 10; Trivia Problem got 10 out of 10 but did not double and fell 4 points short. Brown Chicken, Brown Cow, however, hit a double for 20 points and leapt past both teams in front of them for their only lead of the night to win first prize.

We'll be back next week to do it all again; Collision has a prior event that will preempt us on May 9th but we'll be back again on 5/16. See you then!!

QUIZ RECAP

We had another nice turnout tonight; even as the weather gets nicer outside we still get 20+ people to join in the fun at Collision Brewing. Regulars #momjeans, Nostradumbass and Brown Chicken, Brown Cow were joined by returners Winner The Pooh. A bemused party of onlookers joined up as Table With 2 Kids and lasted as long as the children would allow, namely 5 rounds. The 4 returning teams were tied with 6 points after Round 1...until #momjeans converted a double-or-nothing to jump 10 points clear of the field, and the ladies never relinquished the lead. The positions stayed roughly the same through Round 5, though it bears pointing out that Nostradumbass were the only team to successfully answer the 8-point clue in the Guess Where round. Sadly Nostradumbass got 9 correct answers in Round 6 but checked the double-or-nothing box, dropping them out of the running and into 3rd place, where they would eventually finish. This left #momjeans and Brown Chicken, Brown Cow to settle matters, and the ladies held on, scoring 6 in the final round to edge out Brown Chicken (who scored an 8) by 4 points and take back the mantle of winners from last week's champs. Come on down to Collision Brewing and join us next week!

We had another full house at Collision tonight, with 5 returning teams and 29 players! Long-time regulars Brown Chicken, Brown Cow led wire-to-wire, setting the tone by converting successful double-or-nothing plays in each of the first two rounds to jump 8 points clear of Trebek's Rejects. Brown Chicken, Brown Cow outscored the field in each of the first 4 rounds to pad their lead until #momjeans hit a successful double-or-nothing in Round 5; their 20 points vaulted them into 2nd place (Brown Chicken Brown Cow also got all 10 right but were now playing it safe and did not double). #momjeans also got 10 out of 10 in Round 6 to gain a point and close the deficit to 10, leaving them the only team with a mathematical chance to catch the leaders. Trebek's Rejects and Gold vs. Gold each successfully converted a double in the last round; the 18 points left Trebek's Rejects 2 points behind #momjeans (who scored 7) for 2nd place (57-55), while Gold vs. Gold were 4th with 47. An undermanned Nostradumbass finished 5th with 23 points, but the night belonged to Brown Chicken, Brown Cow with birthday boy Tim, who shared birthday cake with the whole field. Their 6 points in Round 7 allowed them to cruise home with 66 points and a 9-point victory. Thanks to all who played, see you next week!
