QUIZ RECAP

Rasselbock is quickly turning into the place to be every Tuesday night! We had seven teams enter the bar, each with one goal in mind: Total victory.

While we like to say that the real winners are those who play the game, in actuality there are concrete winners in the game of trivia. Like, it's a legally binding thing. That whole "it's the friends we made long the way" line gets tossed out pretty quickly once prizes are on the table.

Anustart and Sorority of Satan quickly took the lead, neck and neck for six intense rounds. The two-person team of Peanut Butter Bandits took the pancake round, but chose to leave their points on the table and left before the final round.

The real shift came in Round Six, when Sorority of Satan revealed their musical theater nerd credits. A double down shot them into first place, and there they remained for the rest of the game.

Newcomers Areola Borealis took a break from our beloved King's Head Pub (Wednesday's at 8PM) to rack up points and grab second place. Anustart, fine regulars of Rasselbock, secured another third place win.

Come on down to Rasselbock next Tuesday at 9PM and see if how you stack up against these titans!

QUIZ RECAP

Rasselbock has long been known for its delicious food, wide selection of beers, and an incredible staff. After this past Tuesday night, it will be known as an Arena of Champions. A gridiron for the toughest trivia teams in the league.

We had us a good, old fashioned barn burner!

Nine teams entered, ranging from a single man throwing back beers and throwing out knowledge all the way to a six-person dream team of trivia veterans. Returning champions Anustart and Crosson's Angels felt the pressure, but they'd come to win.

Round after round, the scores flew up and down like a roller-coaster. Dream team Summer Shandy took a commanding lead early on, but cautious play chipped away at that gap until suddenly they had teams nipping at their heels.

A brief respite after Round 3 earned newcomers (and Phd holders) Rowdy Roommates the coveted Appetizer Tray. Armed with carbs and a sense of victory, they chose to double down in later rounds and make up a huge deficit.

After six rounds, it was anyone's game. Summer Shandy scored a perfect 10, but chose not to double down out of fear of losing their edge. With Rowdy and Anustart doubled up, the scores quickly closed to a single-point-game. It would all come down to the final round!

It appears they just don't teach the ages of the Presidents in school anymore, as every team had trouble coming up with more than a few names. This led to a first at Rasselbock: A TIE BREAKER ROUND!

Rowdy Roommates and Summer Shandy, locked at 54 points, walked to the front of the room for the final question. They took their time, preparing the best guesses they could muster, and let fly with their answers.

Both were off by nearly 100.

But the closest answer came from Rowdy Roommates, earning them an extra point and the grand victory! The entire room erupted into applause. Beers were raised, friendships were formed, and brutal rivalries continued.

QUIZ RECAP

It doesn't get much better than trivia night at Rasselbock. The restaurant was jumping when this Quizmaster walked through the doors, and soon the entire place was singing.

There was a birthday party!

Sadly, the party had to go elsewhere, but that just meant more room for the true trivia fanatics. Seven rounds of Trivia to go!

The Winos left early, claiming that they needed "to work" so they could pay "rent." A likely excuse, given how exceptionally difficult that first round was. They were quickly replaced by newcomers SIN who arrived with smiles on their faces and a ten point-deficit to overcome. Winning the appetizer round helped smooth things over.

With each round getting harder and harder, teams suddenly dropped like flies. There were four. Then three. Then, just after a magnificent rally in Round 6, it came down to two: The returning champs with a new name -- Anustart -- and the roaming challengers -- Pubcaps. It was anyone's game going into the final round.

It turns out, neither team knew much about Risk. In the end, Anustart had such an impressive lead that they stomped the competition. It's a new name but the same story as this dynamic duo locked down another win.
