It was a quiet night, but would it stay that way with the return of some old favorites now competing under the moniker "what really happened"?

 

Teams blew through round one as if it were bush league Trivia scoffing all the way through round two. Those teams with the love of poetry and television rose above the crowd and dominated round three. Teams played round four quite conservatively, knowing the real magic was to come with three rounds of 20 point doubles, but would they be able to secure them? The kids table jumped up in the standings after round 5, but round seven proved out of their wheelhouse, and all of the teams found Cantrips strewn about the path as they fell unsuspectingly into traps of biblical proportion.

 

The prudent "Tequila Mockingbirds" , " quiz Kid Donnie Smith" led the way, and "what really happened" triumphantly returned to the podium despite the zero score in the final round.

  1. We had a ream compliment not lacking zeal, however starting the game off with over a third with Goose Eggs can ruffle some feathers. Undeterred, a few of those were able to turn it around with a successful double, but were beginning to be outpaced by Eeyore's Dynamite and Tequila Mockingbirds who were able to double the first three rounds in a row!

Only the Kids' Table were able to seal the deal in round 4's first clue, but most were able to join in by the third. After the Mother fu- make that Tyrion Targaryan won the drinking round - apt - Doubles were back in play and Tequila Mockingbirds were able to leap far ahead of the field with two more before the end of the game, Finishing ahead of the Kid's Table who narrowly outpaced Eeyore's Dynamite.

A fabulous game with only one team name in need of redaction due to game of thrones spoilers.

The game started off with a top 50% median but kicked into high gear with high scores all around in the second round and the first double down for the night. Round three was similar; doubling up on the double downs, but things began to slow down in round four as teams became a little more conservative.

Very high scores in round five, but two high-value double-downs from Quiz Kid Donnie Smith and the Kids' Table made everyone a little nervous. Round six was devastating, but almost universally, as teams more less hovered around where they were. Round seven proved to be a little better, but a clutch final round double-down from Tequila mockingbirds cinched the win!
