It was a fun-filled night with a lot of new faces at the Dudes' in Santa Clarita, they may have come out for multiple sports games on the Dudes' enormous screens, but they certainly stayed for the trivia.
Gustle 21 threw down the gauntlet early, looking to defend their title, but they were dogged by "Rehab is for Quitters", "Blood, Sweat, and Craft Beers", and "the World's Dudes", to name just a few.
The drinking round was a spectacular array of Rocheambeauers, with multiple and repeating face-offs extending with identical choices.
Once teams settled in for the home stretch, however, things got real after a friendly reminder that it's not just about trivia and bragging rights, there were 6 four-packs of beer up for grabs to be split between the top 3 teams! This repeated information caused a stir from round 5 onward, and although "Gustle 21" had consistently scored high most rounds, cinching a placing lead, successful doubledowns from unregistered team "Greatness" rocketed them from 8th place in round 5, to 3rd place by the end of the game!
What a fun Ides of March (see? See what we did there in question 6?). Julius Caesar may have sore memories for this date, but we have some quizzers who would have to disagree, because at the Dudes' Brewing Company in Santa Clarita it was non-stop laughs. Okay, so we stopped, but it's just messy to try and enjoy beer at the same time.
Nine teams entered the fray, but, as always, only three can claim rightful prizes, and so, a jovial and gripping time it was. Remember that time we all forgot about Thidwick? And who wasn't at the edge of their seat at the interval Rock-Paper-Scissors off? A round of drinks to the victors and onward Dilligently to round 5, Shaken up by newcomers "Dilly Dilly" with a biting zero from an unsuspecting double down, "Boner Thugz N' Harmony", however, played it safe, yet still scoring the full 10 points for the round, securing a lead they'd prove to maintain til the bitter, hoppy end.
"Garfhead Pambod" steadily improved their correct-answer ratio and finished with a well-earned Second Place, a few points ahead of the 3rd Place winners "Down with the Brown"
Happy International Women's Day!
It was a crazy game tonight. 13 Teams started the fun off conservatively with no round 1 or two Double- Downs, but the heat got brought in round 3 with newcomers Gustle 21 taking a lead and staying steady.
In round 4, only 3 teams escaped getting -1 with Oh So many early guesses of David Beckham. Bringing our numbers up to 14 teams for the evening were Round 4 Newcomers "the 3 Muskabeers", and while they also fell prey forgetting John Oliver, it did nothing to sully their good mood.
To nurse their wounds, a tantilizing carrot was dangled: the Moste Excellente Drinking Round! Caringly provided by the Dude's Brewing Co. of Santa Clarita.
A thrilling mini-tournament of Rocheambeau occupied our interim, with representatives from each team Rock Paper and Scissoring to glory or oblivion. Of course, there can be only one winner, and after 3 Successes with Paper, "Gustle 21" Changed tactics with an eleventh-Hour Scissors that had all onlookers surprised.
With the Sting of defeat in Round 4 and the subsequent drinking Round, a few teams decided to call it a night, but many remained to challenge the onslaught of the ever-present "Gustle 21", leading each round, challenged by "Quiz Khalifa" and "Romantic Roadkill" hot on their heels.
With a perfect score and commanding lead, "Gustle 21" won the night, Earning 1st place and taking home Three Four-Packs of Beer, courtesy Dude's Brewing Co.
"Quiz Khalifa" and "Romantic Roadkill" earned their 2nd and 3rd place prizes of Two and Three Four-Packs Respectively.
