Tubby Hook Tavern was lively and chatty throughout the evening. Teams were cheering each other on and razzing each other about their team names and answers.

First place was never in doubt as Sharper Than Peas went slow and steady to win this race, opting to "Single" in lieu of "Double" in every round.

This New York crowd was thrilled to have Lin-Manuel Miranda as the Guess Who, since he apparently used to sing karaoke in this very building! Remember, he's from Inwood not Washignton Heights. 

Trivial N00b climbed the ranks throughout the night to eventually take over second place, and the Thundercat Ho's bobbed and weaved their way to third. 

Another fun night!

It was a rollercoaster of emotion at Tubby Hook on Tuesday experiencing the lows and highs (and lows again) of competition. At 7:55 it appeared as though we'd only have the bare minimum of 3 teams competing, but by the time the game officially kicked off a little past 8:00, 8 teams - including 5 newcomers - had signed up to battle it out.

Perhaps it was the Labor Day hangover, the fact that many of the teams had children in their ranks, or the fact that The Wrecking Crew was returning after a long hiatus and had a strangle hold on the lead by Round 5, but 3 teams called it quits early meaning that only 5 teams were leftover hoping to here their name called out victoriously at the end. 

Ultimately, the game proved to be a competition between the haves and the have nots, with the top 3 teams taking full advantage of multiple Double or Nothing usages while the others struggled mightily matching up the actors to their respective golf movies in Round 6.

It was a low key Tuesday evening at Tubby Hook Tavern, with only 5 teams competing for that coveted discount on the bar tab. A rambunctious collective of youngsters and their parents occupied the normal spot for the Quizmaster, so he had to position himself in a new position by the open windows, being serenaded by the din of the vibrant Inwood neighborhood wafting in on the summer breeze.

Despite - or perhaps, because of - the smaller group size, the competition was tight throughout the entirety of the game with a two-way tie for 1st place and few points separating the rest of the teams after Round 6, with no one having yet utilized their Double or Nothing. 

In the end, Sharper Than Peas proved to be sharper than the competition, winning 1st and cashing in for a 3rd straight week. However, the old guard weren't the only ones victorious as 2nd and 3rd were both claimed by teams playing for the first time and hopefully, the seeds have been planted for further attendance (and further victories).
