For two weeks in a row, "I Lost My Virginity At..." has taken the highest prize.  No, I am not referring to the round of Coors Banquet.  I am talking about first place; the $75 bar credit off their tab!  That is a pretty sweet deal and they have won it two times in a row! A huge congrats to them!  At the end of the first round, I didn't think they were going to pull it off again.  They only got 4 out of 6 correct in the general knowledge round.  They didn't give up though!  They continued to stack up points, a few at a time, to keep up with the pace of the entire bar.  No teams were doubling down so every team was pretty close to one another.  The difference maker was the round number 6 handout.  Matching the chain restaurant to their signature dessert.  People were very excited about this one and a few teams even doubled down successfully.  One of those teams was "I Lost My Virginity At" (pictured first) which launched them in to a comfortable lead.  Another team who doubled in the 6th was Interrobang Gang (IG).  IG did their best to catch the leader but could only name 4 of the 9 US states with no tax on earned income.  Ancient Geezers (pictured second) had the lead the entire game until the 6th round.  They got 10 out of 10 on the signature dessert matching but they did not take the double or nothing risk.  This ultimately lead them to finish second when they named 7 out of 9 US states with no tax on earned income.  It was a pretty close game though!  I was happy to see so much competition all the way through round seven.  Thank you for coming out!

I Lost My Virginity at... is the winner tonight (pictured first)!  They cleared second place by 8 points!  It was a very strong finish and clearly gave them a funnier name when I read, "I Lost My Virginity at 80!"  Rounds 5 and 6 really gave them the advantage when they doubled down successfully.  Another team that used the 6th round as a rocket boost was Frankly Madea, I Don't Give a Damn (FMDIDGAD pictured second).  If they didn't double down on the NBA school matching round, they wouldn't have won the $25 bar credit.  Congrats to them!  And of course, the Ancient Geezers (pictured third) were our Coors Banquet winners (AKA third place).  They also doubled down on the NBA school matching but they couldn't name as many automobile brands that FMIDGAD did in the seventh and final round.  It was that round that cemented FMIDGAD's one point lead over the Ancient Geezers.

So many people have begged me to ask more sports related questions.  Well, your prayers have been answered!  That NBA round really changed the score board leaders drastically.  Until that round, We are the Leftovers were still in contention.  Unfortunately, they didn't know all the schools for the NBA players and couldn't get the 20 points all the winners got.  It was a game changer for sure.  Congrats to all the sports junkies who capitalized on the 6th round and got into the winner's circle!  As always, thanks for coming out to Founders!

A bunch of fresh faces in Founders tonight, as well as a very competitive game!  At the end of the sixth round, there were three teams tied for second.  In fact, there were six teams all within 3 points of each other heading into the final round.  The last round decided it all.  I asked to name 10 of the 11 countries in the Western Hemisphere that shared a border with at least 1 or 2 countries.  Troop Beverly Hills Adjacent (pictured first) only had to name 7 of the countries to clinch first place since they already had the lead in the sixth round.  Master of None (pictured second) named 8 of the countries to secure second place.  The third place team, The Big Table, also named 7 of the countries.  I thought there would have been a tie breaker round due to all the close scores but round number 7 took care of it all.  Congrats to all the winners and thanks for coming out!
