HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEVIN!!!
Our dutiful host, making sure the bar is open even though it was his own birthday!
There's Always next week and Tequila Mockingbirds toasted the birthday boy with Successful double downs in round 1, round 2 was a shocker with almost every single team scoring seven points, but St. Trinian's escaping everyone's memory of even having existed at all!
A few doubles shook up the ladder in round 3, with Let's get quizzical, The kid's table, and Gasping at Straws jumping up in the standings. Everyone waited to guess who until the six point clue, and only two teams missed the right answer. After a thrilling drinking round where the Casual American Cannibals reigned supreme, There's Always Next Week came out back on top with the only successful Bond-related double down. Rounds 6 and 7 remained rather conservative, and the game ended with a battle of wits and estimations between Tequila Mockingbirds and The Kids' Table vying and tying second place, leaving the former to take the lead.

It was a packed night tonight and nary a table was spared! Sure, things started off with a bang with Casual American Cannibals and Tequila Mocking birds cinching that round 1 double down, but round 2 was where everyone got in the action. if teams missed a point, it was only one, with five teams scoring seven points and the other ten successfully doubling! All of the future winners found a home in that latter group.
Round 3 was pretty high scoring all in all as the stakes were lain bare. Round 4 ended up astounding the quizmaster and staff as again, Ten teams scored perfect tens, although the roster was shaken up a little from round 2. Five teams pulled far and away from the pack in round 5 with doubles, and round 6 ended up being more conservative with only Quiz in my Pants landing 20 points. Everyone played it safe for the final round, and rightly so, as there was not one perfect score.
There was no lack of celebration after the winners were announced as the mood reached a fever pitch among all participants.

Conservative start to a game at this venue, with no teams attempting to double- and mostly wisely so. That changed in round 2 when 4 teams reached for that brass ring and Birthday Party Satan, The Kids' Table, and Quiz Kid Donnie Smith were able to grasp it!
None of them were able to reapeat this for round three, and There's Always Next Week and BYOB had a chance to threaten the standings. Round 4 was brutal to those who answered early, but the mid-range found some satisfaction in the second and third clues. Round 5 was successful for Tequila Mockingbirds, launching from an unfamiliar trailing position, but outpaced in round 6 with six successful double downs, and a DEVASTATING round 7, with only three teams scoring points at all left the consistent Kids' Table at the top of the heap, followed by long-leaders Birthday Party Satan, and There's Always Next Week.
