QUIZ RECAP

Everybody won this week at Rocco's Tavern!

Teams jockeyed for position all the way to the end, the top three spots swapped left and right. Schmoo's Clues and Rocco's-crew-home-team Chainsmokers stayed within a single point of each other through the whole game -- which led to a tiebreaker question after the last round! Chainsmokers guessed Japan's judo gold within a single medal, snagging them their own gold, but as they were employees of the establishment, they valiantly handed their prize to Schmoo's.

Second place went to Trivia Is Hard, a one-man team who showed that although his team name was accurate, he was able to transcend its difficulties for that gift certificate. Third went to Sex Kittens, because if you don't play, you can't win, but if you do play, sometimes you do win!

Well done, teams!

QUIZ RECAP

The fun continues to grow at Rocco's -- we've got returning teams, new groups drawn to the fun, and, of course, the regular squad of a Rocco's crew showing everyone how trivia is done, and after a promise of a triple threat: fun, competition, and free money, it will just grow from there.

It was our King Trivia regulars, Paddington Kills with an extreme knowledge of celebrities and Oscars that timed a pair of successful double or nothing rounds into a 19 point win. The race for the prizes for 2nd and 3rd, ended up being a 1 point difference, with a last second switch of Best Picture nominated films by Team Tonya edged them just passed One Mo Time.

Until next time...

QUIZ RECAP

Week 3 of trivia at Rocco's in Culver City brought us 5 teams, and a topsy-turvy game that saw the Octets begin  by trying to recruit the entire bar to play on their own team, and after that proved unsuccessful, tried to avenge the collective cold shoulder by serving as wire-to-wire champs.

However, after watching the close pursuing teams behind them jockey for position, (trading 2nd, 3rd and 4th all game long) in the end, in a reversal of the norm, a last-second wise decision NOT to go double or nothing by our winners, Tequila Mockingbird, instead using a 9 out of 10 round 7 to vault passed our rounds 1-6 leaders, scored them a championship.

Now if we can only convince that last table of holdouts (they may have been on a date that we crashed) who were resistant to this emcee's charms all game long to join in the trivia fun --  a successful King Trivia colonization, will be accelerated that much more.

See you next week!
