With Rounds 2 and 3 stumping many of the teams, midway through play, it was anyone's game.  The final three rounds though saw some big scores and in the end, Poo McPickle and Stormy's Legal Retainer doubled in the Final Round to pull away for 1st and 2nd Place.  The battle for 3rd went down to the wire, with only two points separating 3rd from 5th place.   A great time was had by all.

What can I say about Dan Mitchell All Stars?! They went double or nothing in four of the seven rounds (1, 2, 3 and 5) and nailed them all.  They could have gone double or nothing in Round 7 as well.  They got all ten correct in that round too.  They missed a total of three questions the entire game - all in Round 6.  An amazing performance!

Poo McPickle squeaked out a nice 2nd place win with a two successful double or nothings, one in a 12 point round and one in a 20 point round.  Not far behind for 3rd place was Shave My Back - with two successful double or nothings, but both were 12 point rounds and that made the difference.

Great play by everyone!

What an upset! From the start, Poo McPickle and Just Do It were battling each round for 1st and 2nd place.  Con Air Bud seemed stuck in 3rd.  But in Round 7, while Just Do It got all 10 right and Poo McPickle pulled out 9 correct answers, Con Air Bud went Double or Nothing and nailed it - landing 20 points and the upset win.  Big shout-out to Boom Shakalaka for the funniest made-up definition of the word "festooned" - to win the drinking round.  A great time was had by all!!!
