4 teams doubling down in round 1 and again in round 2?! Insanity! It set the trend for this high-stakes game as "The Kid's Table" and "Tequila Mockingbirds" raced to the podium all game.

Round 4's Shirley Temple might has well have been a wash as almost every team scored either 10 or 8 points for that curly tap-dancer's clue biography.

Round 5 saw similarly high averages, but Round 6 spread the points, with four teams again doubling down, but this time for 20 points!

The day was won by "Tequila Mockingbirds" in first, and "The Kid's Table" in second, but a surprise round-7 double-down launched newcomers "S.O.B.s" to 3rd in the eleventh hour.

A perfect night? EVERY Team Registered? Quizmasters rejoice. The other way of looking at it is it totally cancels out the bonus points at the end, but hey, having them ensured a level playing field and also keeps the teams league records growing with the possibility for cool events like the Championship and the chance at $10,000!

Teams scored well in round 1, but there were 3 successful double-downs that immediately spread the pack.

Only 1 double down came in Round 1, but not any of the previously bold teams, and Can't Wake Me Up jumped into a lead they would maintain the rest of the game.

By Round 5, we had gained one more team (who also registered), although fared poorly in their debut Round, redeeming themselves with a successful double-down in Round 6.

Round 7 was in 4 parts, but the shattered dreams were uncountable. Of the 4 highest scoring teams in the final round, 3 would take the podium. "Can't Wake Me Up", There's Always Next Week, and The Kid's Table.

Boom Shacka-lacka... Chaka? Sshhhacha?....nevermind

Pineapple Hill Sallon, Triva, and a King's Game? Could the night get any better?

The evening opened up with confidence and 6 teams successfully doubling down. Unfortunately "I can't read what you've written there" was unsuccessful with only one incorrect answer, but for a solo player here for the beer, attitude could not be sunnier

Round 2 had some strong double-downs and a shocking goose-egg for Running with Caesars, but they brought it back being not only the only team to double-up in round 3, but also the only team to score higher than 4 points, taking a commanding push into podium contention.

Round 4 had everyone in suspense, trying to escape minus points, and most teams worked their magic with the 6 point clue.

Round 5 started to get serious after teams were bitter and stoutly defeated in the drinking round by "Caesars.

Round 6 saw an amazing flurry of jeers as teams [REDACTED]------------------------------------------------!

Round 7, after the infamous [REDACTED] incident in round 6, where 3 teams [REDACTED] until [REDACTED] everyone agreed to move forth as respectful competitors, but not before [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] to [REDACTED].

Fun was had by all, but none more than the Quizmaster, who got to watch it all [REDACTED].
