QUIZ RECAP

With no work on Monday, Sunday trivia before labor day was PACKED, with a full boat of 10 teams playing the game of games. Anickle started slowly but got better and better, taking the lead after round 4 and only increasing it subsequently, while Achilles in Heels jumped from third place last week to second place this week, beating out Alf's Cat Hot Pocket in a sizzler of a tie breaker to take the silver.

Tough trivia in Campbell tonight. Eight teams brought that late summer heat to the game, but nearly all of them struggled early in the game. They all found their groove as things progressed, with the first successful double-or-nothing in round 5, and several more in rounds 6 and 7. In the end, the bold wagering of the Area 51 Rush Team gave them a 1 point margin of victory over Silver, Black, and Blue, who did phenomenal playing by his lonesome at the bar. Achilles in Heels took third, and the rest of the teams were close behind. Very even matching might lead to some team shake-ups in the weeks ahead, stay tuned for the trivia details!

This is your substitute quizmaster Paul, reporting on his trek from the East Bay down to Campbell. It was a raucous atmosphere over at LVL Up, with videogamers, pinball players and boardgamers joining the trivia players.

Returning champs Old Crows threw down the gauntlet with a double or nothing in the first round. That, coupled with their bonus points for having a registered team, catapulted them into a commanding lead. From there they were unassailable, ultimately taking 1st place, though a strong showing from Alf's Cat Hot Pocket got them within spitting distance with a solid second place finish. And a special mention should be made for Silver & Black & Blue, who placed third despite being a "team" of one.

Old Crows also managed to nail the bonus Santa Clara Library trivia question, taking home a $5 gift certificate and notebook in addition to their first place prize.
