QUIZ RECAP

Great game tonight at Pineapple Hill. Four teams were perfect through the first 3 rds, with a cluster bomb of doubling all through the first 3 rounds, including all but 2 teams successful in rd 3. A 4-way tie for 1st place after round 4, which produced all but two 8s (the other two were 6s). Round 5 was the krytonite to the game, breaking up the 1st-place logjam and spreading out the scoring. The last 2 rds produced a few failed doubles, as teams looked to keep pace, which further spread out the scoring pattern.

Both Meta 4s and The Kids Table came from middle of the pack, with successful doubles in rds 6 & 7 to take 2nd and 3rd, respectively. Kids were fortunate that they turned in their pen, as they held 3rd by that 1 point over There's Always Next Week, who also successfully doubled in the last rd.

Our champions, Tequila Mockingbirds, nearly had a perfect game. In rd 4, they just missed by scoring on the second clue for 8 pts, and they chose not to double in round 5. With their bonus points for team number and turning in their pen, they missed a perfect game by 12 pts. What a treat to watch this play out.

Congrats to Tequila Mockingbirds!!

QUIZ RECAP

NO one dared double in the first round, but gosh darned if they went for it in the second, but some rough seas had them turning to the wrong Sailors and Saturn eluded them.

Round 3 had a pretty modest point spread, but nearly everyone was able to immediately answer the round 4 Guess Who? for their love of Tyrion Lannister and all their loathing for the final season's writing.

Some doubles in round 5 sent teams soaring by twenties and beginning to pull ahead. The Kid's table repetition of this in round 6 rocketed them to the lead, where they would remain through to the end.

QUIZ RECAP

What a way to start the game, with no team missing more than one, and Tequila Mockingbirds and Revolving Door forming an early rivalry with doubles! Revlolving door was able to repeat the feat adn pull into the lead, but was pursued by the Kids' Table leaping into second with a 16-pointer. round 3 robbed most teams of confidence for doubles, although they made wise decisions and kept almost all the available points. Trivia Newton John was first to turn in round 4 with a confident 10 right off the bat before the clue was hardly finished. Followed by Free Smoke and Tequila, these would be our only 10s in this round. Round 5 eluded the majority, but in 6, Birthday Party Satan made a massive leap, being the only Double, launching them into contention, however a fatal goose egg knocked them out, while successful doubles trebucheted the Kids Table Far and away to t he top of the podium just ahead of Tequila and Revolving Door
