- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 7:00pm
The first night of trivia in the brand-spanking-new decade saw new teams and old on the field of competition...aka the bar. O'Trivia Newton John (or O'Trivia Mute-on Bomb/O'Trivia Shoot Your Mom etc.) caught on quickly to the drinking round that allowed teams to use their phones to find the requested information. Even without the power of the internet, they had the mettle to finish second place overall, ahead of Party of 5 and just two points below winners the General Washingtons.

With the bar decorated and packed, teams took refuge from the cold rain and helped themselves to a full plate of hot competition. From newcomers to familiar regulars, one and all celebrated the final night of trivia at Tam O'Shanter for the year of 2019. General Washingtons and Flux Capacitors competed closely for the whole game, coming in with a tie during the Drinking Round (name as many types of shrimp that Bubba mentions in Forrest Gump). The Washingtons were successful in the tie-breaker, but were edged out by the Flux Capacitors for first place in the game. Meanwhile, O'Trivia Newton John solidified the Tam as their trivia home by finishing in the top three for their third week running.
Keep your brains wrinkly and nimble during the holiday break, and see you clearly in 2020!

With one more week of trivia to go at the Tam in 2019, the venue is already set a-sparkle with holiday lights and cheer. Despite the festive decorations, trivia teams wore their warpaint in a game that saw multiple reversals of fortune at the top. A tie-breaker in the Drinking Round saw Argentum best the Flux Capacitors, who ended up taking second place overall. Last week's winners - albeit with a different name - O'Trivia Newton John found themselves in second for the night, while N/A had a score good enough to win the game no matter what their name.
