After the private party ended, our game got underway. And the folks from the party even joined in!
The versus team now has the distinction of pulling out a win based on their near-encyclopedic knowledge of La Croix flavors. They successfully doubled in the final round to take the win!
Confidence. Tonight's battle was settled by a lack of confidence in the right places and over-confidence in the wrong places.
The BOBs successfully doubled right out of the gate. Unfortunately, GBD and Mathilda unsuccessfully doubled.
In round 6, "B" Team, Hufflepuff, and Losers could have doubled, but didn't. GBD, Mathilda, and Quiz unsuccessfully doubled.
So, the BOBs rode their double and solid scores into 1st place. Versus took the only successful round 6 double into 2nd place. "B" Team hung on with their solid scores to take 3rd.
Everyone came out for the holiday week to try and prove just how smart they are!
The B Team and Splinter Stone (welcome back, folks!) kicked off the game with successful doubles in the very first round. Lord Ruler made a strong push with a successful double in round 3 but then followed with an incorrect Guess Where. GBD almost sank themselves with a failed double in round 5, but they recovered strong. Yeast's successful double in round 5 wasn't quite enough to move into the top 3.
7 of the 12 teams successfully doubled in round 6, making this a very high-scoring game indeed!
Mathilda could have taken it home unopposed if they'd doubled in round 1 or 3, but those perfect scores combined with the successful double in round 6 kept them on top.
Group Blind Date could have taken it home unopposed if not for their failed double in round 5. Successful doubles in the final two rounds caught them up with Mathilda, though, and only a low guess at the number of stitches on a baseball kept them from 1st place.
Splinter Stone could have taken it home unopposed (sensing the theme here?) if only they hadn't doubled in the final round. Successful doubles in rounds 1 and 6 kept them among the leaders, though, and they still took home 3rd.
Team 22 and Quiz were left juuuust outside the top 3, but this was Team 22's strongest showing yet.
