It wasn't the winds of chage blowing last night (though The Scorpions were present on the Spotify playlist), but the chilly winds of Autumn that packed the house last night at Tubby Hook. 11 teams came in seeking shelter from the chill and vied for trivia supremacy in a record-breaking game.

With so many teams, there was always going to be a number of lead changes and swapped positions, but last night's game saw even more than usual thanks to 10 instances of teams hitting the Double or Nothing, by far the most since this quizmaster has been on the scene! While "Guess Who?" stumped a few, "Find the Connection" propelled others, meaning pretty much anyone could have emerged the victory heading into the 7th and final round.

In the end, it was Mharmair Cnoc hitting their third Double or Nothing in a row to reign supreme, clocking in with 88 points, the most seen at Tubby Hook this year! With history being written last night, we wonder what thrills and chills are in store for next week and Halloween.

Quizmaster Jim returned to his messy corner of Tubby Hook after a long and well deserved honeymoon just in time to ring in a new week of trivia with a new season of the NHL! Things don't look good early in the season for the New York Rangers, but trivia at Tubby Hook is always a good time whether early or late in the game and tonight was no exception with a mix of both crafty veterans and eager newcomers.

This game saw quite a few lead changes thanks to Double or Nothings that were both nailed and missed and it looked like the top 3 was pretty much locked up until Round 7. Barely falling short on their Double or Nothing gamble in naming 10 elements on the Periodic Table with only 6 letters in their name - "silica" is a compound, whereas "silicon" is an element - Welsh Not Irish saw the appropriately named Latecomer eek past by just 1 point to grab third place. Perhaps they'll be back next week with revenge on their minds...

Despite the building across the street catching on fire and being extinguished during the third round, we played a fun game of trivia at Tubby Hook on Tuesday September 28th! The game was genuinely competitive, with Sharper than Peas dominating the first several rounds effortlessly, earning them some heckles from an opposing team. Trial By Combat! took the lead in the middle of the game, only to be inevitably beaten by #possumcore thanks to a successful double or nothing.
