Wednesday night at Pickwick's was another fun night, although a little slower than last week. However there was still great competition between teams vying for the lead.

Putin on the Ritz and Mighty Mighty Puffins went back and forth with the lead but a final round successful double or nothing by Mighty Mighty Puffins put them in the lead to secure 1st Place with 82 points! Putin on the Ritz led from Round 4, getting the Gambler's Corner on the 10 point clue, until round 7 when the Puffins retook the lead. Putin on the Ritz scored 74 points to take second. Coming in third was Gin Soaked Bar Maids who started round one with a tie for the lead, lost ground though in round two, but recaptured third place in round 5 with a successful double or nothing and maintained that 3rd place spot through the end of the game scoring 62 points.

For the drinking round, contestants had to pick up a Christmas ornament with a paperclip on a string hanging down to the floor, attached to their belts. Once contestants picked up the ornament, they had to walk to the other side of the bar and drop the ornament back down on the ornament holder. Gin Soaked Bar Maids accomplished the feat in 19.7 seconds to win the drinking round.

Wow! What a Wednesday night at Pickwick's Pub for King Trivia on Wednesday night! The pub was packed to the brim with trivia players filling up both rooms of the bar. A total of 14 teams played, but only three came out on top.

Taking 1st was Feedonomics who came through with 3 successful double or nothing's to score 80 points and secure their lead.

Coming in second was Mighty Mighty Puffins who scored 70 points and had two successful double or nothing's as well.

In third was Gin Soaked Bar Maids who had a successful double or nothing in Round 5 and got the 10 point clue in Gambler's Corner. They scored 58 points.

The quizmaster's original idea for the drinking round didn't quite work out as planned, so he resorted to a music identification round where teams had to identify the artist and name of ten songs. Feedonomics also guessed the most of these songs right as well.

All in all, another fun night. Looking forward to next week!

Last night at Pickwick's Pub for King Trivia, was another blast of a game!

Pogue Mahoney took the 1st place prize scoring 74 points. They were tired for the lead with Poor Section of Malibu in Round One after a successful double or nothing, but fell behind until they successfully doubled again in Round number 5. They scored the most points in Rounds 6 and 7 to maintain the lead and score the 1st place prize.

Coming in Second place was Poor Section of Malibu, who only lost the lead in Round 5 to Pogue Mahoney after they doubled successfully. Poor Section of Malibu had a great night though and scored 67 points for the 2nd place prize.

Coming in third were the Mighty Mighty Puffins, who are always a tough team to beat. They scored 63 points, and only took the third place prize thanks to a successful double down in Round number 6 to give them 20 points and move into third place.

For the drinking round, teams tried to knock down 6 water bottles as fast as they could using a baseball inside a silk stocking that one team member would wear on his/her head and swing it around to knock the bottles over. Vodka Sodas won that round with a whopping 10.96 seconds! See pictures above!
