QUIZ RECAP
Home For The Holidays!
Last year, the Quiz before Christmas was packed at Pitfire Pizza, so I made extra handouts just in case. Good thing, as it was standing room only, with many familiar faces back from college! Great to see you all. I would also like to thank the awesome teams of Trivia Newton John for sending my wife and I to the Cheesecake factory for our annniversary, and Del Boca Vista Phase 2 for inviting me into their home for a pre-quiz celebration meal! [Two amazing meals! 🙂 ]
Our Combined IQ Is... was on a mission as they are on their quest to achieve a League Score of 20.000. It was a close race, but they pulled away in the last 3 rounds to take the win and put themselves one win away from 20.000! Ugly Christmas changed their team name every round, but I was too swamped grading to announce all the different names so here they are: 1) Ugly Christmas 2) Drunk Christmas 3) Sweaty Christmas 4) Family Argument Christmas 5) Nightmare Before Christmas 6) Father Christmas Sweater 7) I'm Broke After This Christmas. They were in a very tight battle and ended up in third place by one point under Santa's Big Team At A Little Table.

QUIZ RECAP
Defending their win from last week, The Money Beets came out hard and fast correctly doubling the first three rounds! Trivia Newton John was able to hang in with them by doubling the first and 3rd! Our Combined IQ Is... doubled the first round, and found themselves in 3rd place after 3 rounds. Great Minds Drink Alike started with a goose egg after an incorrect double of round one, but got back into the thick of it with a correct double of round two. Del Boca Vista Phase 2 got all the answers right in the first two rounds, but chose not to double, and found themselves trying to play catch-up the rest of the night. Going into the final round, The Money Beets had an 8 point lead over Trivia Newton John. Trivia Newton John was able to get 11 points in the final round, while The Money Beets could only muster. Still, that was enough for a 1 point victory in hard fought exciting game!
