Pow! Off to the races at The Fountainhead on 4/2, with warhorses Ask My Balls, Automating America! and Ladies & The Tramps doubling and mostly not letting up for the night...
Mostly!
After a difficult Round 4 Guess Who for everyone, Aunt Becky Got Me Into College doubled where it counts, with a 20-point Round 5 vaulting them into the lead by a hair. If not for a pair of successful 11th-hour doubles from Ask My Balls and Automating America in Round 7, things would have turned out quite differently!
A great turnout tonight with 9 teams competing, including a gamely attempt from passers-by You're a Quizard Harry! We're starting to get quite the stable of regulars!
Pat's back next week!
(Note: Ask My Balls had four members tonight, two of which ducked out to the next trivia contest before I could snap a team photo!)

The days are slowly starting to warm up, and so is trivia action on Tuesdays in San Jose! 7 teams came out to compete, and Ask My Balls took home another first place prize, while relative newcomers Object Permanence got on the podium for the first time. Solid play throughout, but it's going to take more then just not losing to win!

Double-or-nothing night at The Fountainhead! A full house tonight, with most of the old gang and some eager newcomers rarin' to go... The Drs and convention-goers 5 Star started us off, doubling right out of the gate, with The Drs landing it and the newcomers missing by one... This inspired the rest of the fleet to spring into action in Round 2, with four other teams successfully doubling to even out the field!
Round 5 ended up being the deciding round, a ten-question round with four more attempts - and only one success... Ask My Balls, on a four-week tear!
While it could have been anyone's game at this point, the confidence in the room was decidedly lacking in the final two rounds (except for a successful ten-point double in Round 6 from our resident sports bible, Tom Brady Plays Football for My Sins, putting him in contention), leaving Ask My Balls with a ten-point lead... and an exquisitely close set of runners-up: 2. Ladies & The Tramps (57) 3. Automating America! (56) and 4. University Club (55)!
We welcome University Club, who persevered without a single double attempt, and just missed the top three by a hair! A team to be reckoned with should they become regulars! (And a shout-out to team Object Permanence, who will one day hopefully be able to join us for a full game!)
Cheers! I'm out - and Patrick's back next week!
