QUIZ RECAP

What a fun night we had in the Pineapple Hill. 12 teams met for trivial fury, and the points tallied away with many teams attempting (but not all successfully achieving) double-downs in multiple rounds. About half of the teams doubled-down in round one, and half of those again would go on to place and win prizes- but we're getting ahead of ourselves.

Round 2 found our heroes a little gun-shy, but Double-downs ruled the game again in round 3, with only 3 teams abstaining.

Round 4 was the turning point for our game, with teams bleeding points in an effort to secure enough clues to take at least something away (those minus points are scary!).

The Drinking round was a fantabulous array of guesses (In Centimeters) of how tall Bruno Mars is. Most of the teams were unsure of at least one thing, either how tall Bruno Mars is, or how tall a centimeter is, with many guesses in the 500s (that's 5 meters tall or more). But there's always a winner, and winners get a round of drinks!

Hungry for a win, the Kid's Table and Tequila Mockingbirds successfully doubled down on a downright ugly round 5, but thankfully everyone at least got the connection (Hooray Saturday Morning Cartoons, sigh, it's sad those aren't really a thing anymore).

Things got real in rounds 6 and 7, most teams playing conservative and unsure of their answers, maybe still reeling from round 4, it was a fairly high scoring game over all, however, with the top 4 teams scoring over 60 points! There's only room for 3 on the podium to collect Gift Cards, however, and if you want to check on that, The Kids Table, Ovaltine Jenkins, and Tequila Mockingbirds can confirm, in descending order.

What a fun post-St. Patrick's Day re-meeting of drinking buddies. It was a only slightly damp night outside, but escaping the threat of torrential downpour 11 teams rushed into Pineapple Hill Saloon to test their mettle.

Usually quite bold, the regular teams all shied away from doubling-down in round one. Reconsidering their courage and scribbling frantic "we know we marked double-down, but we didn't mean it" notes to their quizmaster. EVERY team that took back their double-down would have found success, but merely took the full 6 points for round 1.

It would not be until round 3 that teams would gain enough confidence to try for double-points, and those that did were rewarded by their trivial knowledge.

Round 5 is where the game began to be decided with 4 teams scoring 20 points from their double downs, most of them repeating the success in at least one of the subsequent rounds.

Scoring high, all three placing teams finished with points in the eighties! Astonishing.

The pitter patter of rain sprinkled over the valley, and little precious pineapples sprouted on the hill, ready to compete for Trivial Glory.

9 teams braved the weather to grasp at prizes tonight, but as always, there could be only three on the podium.

There's Always next week, Hocus Potus, and Running with Caesars turned out strong with successful round 1 double downs, but they met their challenge in round 3 when two-thirds of the teams were able to score big. Round 4 mixed up the places with some powerhouses shedding points to be picked up by trailing threats. The Guess who round saw many wrong guesses, but the south's favourite son still brought points to the wary. Round 7 was a humdinger that left many teams scratching their heads, leaving only "Hocus Potus" able to fill in 10 correct answers and successfully double-down. It wasn't quite enough, though, as they fell 5 points shy of 3rd place. Top spots went to "There's always next week", "Tequila Mockingbirds", and "Running with Caesar's" in ascending order.
