QUIZ RECAP

You know it's gonna be a fun night when one of the players is wearing the the same shirt as the Quizmaster! (see picture). And true to form it was one of the most fun nights I have had as a host. 10 teams, 9 registered, so a very familiar crowd ready to have fun.

Gattaca was in the house looking for the "3 peat" but it would not be easy with teams like Test Equipment, The Other Bar Was Full and Los Pollos Locos.

Got off to a fairly even start then in Rd.3 , both Gattaca and Pollos Locos successfully doubled, putting the pressure on the rest of the teams. By Rd.6 however, even though those 2 had a decent lead, any one of the others could have caught them by nailing a double down.

For the free beer round I had them draw a caricature of moir and had some great entries (see pictures). I also had Sarah and Ryan, the Strand bartenders, be the impartial judges. Tropical Heat was the winner and drew me as a cat in an effort to suck up to the judges and it worked!

In the end, Gattaca was just too tough and completed the 3 peat, capturing 1st and the $30 Strand gift cert. Los Pollos Locos took 2nd and the $25 cert and The Other Bar Was Full completed a very nice comeback and edged out Test Equipment for 3rd and the $10 cert.

All for now, Peace and Trivia to all

Had a nice group last night at Strand Brewing Co. and as usual Felice Catering was in the house serving up their delicious wood fired fare.

Gattaca was our retuning champ from last week and with IronMan at their table they were on a mission to repeat. Team Test Equipment was with us and always nice to have them, they are a very good team. As expected, both of them got off to a great start with successful doubles and appeared destined for a 1st place battle. Another of our regulars, The Other Bar Was Full, was struggling a bit at the beginning but then scored a strong 9 in Rd. 5 and successfully doubled in Rd. 6 putting themselves right in the mix.

So the battle was on and who would finish strong. Well the answer would be Gattaca as they successfully doubled in Rd.6 and got them all right in Rd.7 and didn't risk the double and grabbed 1st place for the 2nd weeksin a row and of course got the $30 gift certificate. Test Equipment also finished strong by nailing their double down in Rd.7, not enough to take first but second is not too shabby. The Other Bar Was Full overcame their early struggles and captured 3rd. A fun night for sure.

QUIZ RECAP

A bit of a melancholy mood last night as the founders of team Gattaca, Sean and Morgan and their son Will, made their final appearance with us, as they are moving to Buffalo NY. They will be missed but fondly remembered.

Had 5 registered teams with us including last weeks winner Pandemonium. With IronMan at their table they were ready to defend their title. As expected however, Gattaca would have none of it and jumped into the lead thanks to a successful double in Rd. 2. It remained a fairly close affair and in fact heading into Rd.7 any team with a successful double could have taken it. In the end though, Gattaca was just too tough and finished strong with 9 points and took 1st place and the $30 Strand gift certificate. Pandemonium gave it a good shot but fell short by 5 points and took 2nd and the $25 gift cert. After a slow start The Other Bar Was Full finished strong and took 3rd and the $10 gift cert. Foursome and The Pilsners of Azkaban tied for fourth but had Foursome turned in their pen they would have taken 4th! I got to give them a good ribbing 🙂
