-I'm too young to know all the songs on my own '70s rock playlist

Wow, can I just say, what a tight game this was.  Throughout the first few rounds things were going as normal, a double here, a streak there, and a bit of repartee between close teams.  Overall, it seemed like a relatively standard week.  That was until the last two rounds.  After rounds 6 & 7 we had a first for myself and many of the teams, a four way tie for places 1-4, with places 5 & 6 only missing out on the tie by one point.  As you could imagine, things were....competitively tense in the room at that point.

Our winners ended up being 1) Albatross, 2) Land Sharks, and 3) Wahines.

Great night tonight.

It was a great night tonight!  All of our regular teams came out to test their wits.  Towards the end of the night we had a VERY close game for 2nd through 4th.  Close games make it all the more interesting!

Great night tonight.
