QUIZ RECAP

Another great night of KingTrivia at the beautiful Strand Brewing Co. in Torrance. We also had the culinary delight of Market Burger surviving up some delicious local fare during the evening.

Well it was obvious DaNile showed up to play and would not be DaNied! They successfully doubled the first 3 rounds and would never look back. It was not a runaway however and the other 8 teams kept it interesting and did DaBest they could. A new squad of 3 young ladies calling themselves The Smarty Pints lived up to their names and placed 3rd with a very strong game. One of our regulars, Gattica quietly lurked in DaShadows and finished real strong to take 2nd place. We Suck At Trivia and TriviaAmigos had strong games but couldn't catch DaTop 3. Sam's Family successfully doubled for the first time ever in round 6 and Sam was wagging DaTail quite vigorously, so happy for them.

Great Minds Drink Alike and We Drink And Know Nothing gave gallant efforts but both had off nights but being former champions I'm sure they will come back strong next week.

A new team called The Mimi's and The Pipi's were a very fun group and I hope they and The Smarty Pints become regulars with us.

All for now, peace and trivia to you all

QUIZ RECAP

A very fun night of KingTrivia at the beautiful Strand Brewing Co. in Torrance last night. Had some great energy and 11 hungry teams ready to battle. Strand also had Felice Italian Catering come by serving up some delicious thin crust pizzas.

Had a bunch of our regulars and some new teams joining in the fun like Eagle Powers, CNC and Molecular Nerds!

The teams all got off to a good start and it was a very even battle right up to Round 4. The excitement ramped up in Round 5 when Great Minds Drink Alike and Los Pollos Locos both doubled correctly and put themselves a bit ahead of the pack.

For the free beer round we played Name That Tune with all songs having a girls name in the title. Well right off the bat the first song was "Roxanne" and almost every hand in the place went up! I was not ready for that and had to make a quick pick on that one. I was amazed at how everyone really got into the spirit of the game and will surely be playing Name That Tune again. Gattica beat out DaNile in the final round to take home some delicious Strand Brew!

Heading into the final round all but 1 team were in the race and it was a very exciting finish. In the end Los Pollos Locos prevailed and got the coveted 1st place picture with IronMan. Great Minds Drink Alike took 2nd by 1 point ahead of CNC.

A special thank you to my wife Anne and daughter Katie for helping me through the evening. Just had surgery on my knee so I was on crutches and had to rely on them to do all my heavy lifting and setup. Love you both very much

All for now, peace and Trivia to all

QUIZ RECAP

Had a week off and had a great family vacation in Hilton Head South Carolina. Sincere thanks to Quizmaster Lauren for filling in for me and doing a great job!

Well we had a real nice turnout with 9 teams vigorously competing to get their picture with IronMan. Round 1 saw We Suck At Trivia and Two Stooges ace all 6 and get the 2 extra points for being registered. Pandemonium took a risk in round 3 and doubled but missed 1 and got the big goose egg! They would hang tough however and were in the hunt for the remainder of the game. One of our regulars Great Minds Drink Alike got off to a slow start, very unusual for them and had no choice but to double in Round 5. Sadly they also missed a few and had to take zero for that round. It was a pretty tight between the top 5 teams heading into Round 6 and as I said Pandemonium successfully doubled to put them right in the thick of it.

Interesting side note, 6 of the 9 teams got the Guess Where answer on the 10 point clue, a rare occurrence.

It was a 5 team race heading into the final round and wound up with Crew Without A Clue taking 1st place but 1 point ahead of TriviaAmigos! We Suck At Trivia once again proved they do not suck and came in 3rd and got themselves a $10 gift certificate to Strand Brewing Co. Another of our regulars Sam's Family finished with a strong 47 and Sam was very happy.

It was a very fun evening and I appreciate the enthusiasm of all the teams and their continued support

All for now, peace and Trivia to all!
