Competition was stiff here at Red Star. Both new and familiar faces stopped in to test their skills in trivial knowledge. There were some teams who scored big in the beginning and some how were behind but caught up with the other scoring teams. Let's get into the round highlights.

      The teams took a trip to various planets from film and TV in the visual round. Round three was very GI Joe centric. The featured "Guess Who" celeb of the evening was former teen star and current host of Jeopardy Mayim Bialik. In "Find the Connection", questions were rum-tum drumming around. Round six was all slogans from established brands. Finally, the players were asked to list off the four awards that stars have to win to get into the EGOT club and the six NBA teams that received a title within the last nine seasons. Alright, here are the teams who won big!

   Placing second-to-last with a score of 31 points was Queso Joy. The Grit City Goblins reached second place with a total of 49 points. And winning first place was a previous first place team from King Trivia's past Medio-core earning themselves 54 points. Nice job, guys! Enjoy those Red Star gift certificates!. 

    I had a splendid night with my motley crew of teams who participated. I appreciate the praise I get from all you guys. Makes me feel like I'm being the host with the most. This is Brittany, your Quizmaster, signing off!

   Players had to guess the established "bridge"; not only just structural ones but movie, actors and landmarks with bridge in their name. It was quite a jurassic theme for round three. Avengers team member Natasha Romanoff AKA Black Widow was the featured character in "Guess Who. "Find the Connection" made everyone feel "blue". Teams had to pair up the fictionalized president to the film that features them. The find round had the contestants name off the most selective universities in the US for undergrad studies. Alas, the teams who successfully achieved top status.  

   Coming in second-to-last place was Winner with 13 points. Cobbs earned second place with 43 points. I have crowned new winning team! Scoring 1st place with 45 points was Having a Heat Wave. Enjoy your glory, guys!
