- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
The world is shrouded in smoke, but trivia lovers were undeterred. Kid's Table and There's Always Next Week shifted into high gear early, doubling in round 1 for early leads. The Kid's Table repeated this in round 2 with Birthday Party Satan and Tequila Mockingbirds who doubled again in 3, but scored a setback with a -1 from a too-early guess in round 4.
Undeterred, Tequila would double twice more in the high-value later rounds, but would be matched by TANW, outpaced by the round 4 damage done, TANW would take an eight point lead to secure first place.

EVERYONE VOTED! and then they left the polls, civic duty done, hurrying to the greatest american pastime: KING TRIVIA!
"There's always next week" dominated the first round, scoring three times that of the closest competitor after a successful double-down, their usual rivals "Tequila Mockingbirds" suffered a zero from their double attempt, devastatingly repeated in round 2. Undeterred they scored double in round 3, leaping forward, but still trailing most. The excitement mounted as round, by round, Tequila Mockingbirds began a sprint to cover lost ground, and with two more high-value doubledowns were able to achieve second place, just ahead of newcomers (and a solo player team this week) "Quiz Quizstofferson"
Shout out to "Jacob and Madeline, aka Yes, and" for joining us in round 5 with enthusiasm and good spirits!

The first two rounds went smoothly, with very tight point spreads, but only Tequila Mockingbirds and There's Always Next Week escaped the horror of round 3 which saw no other team score higher than 5, and most close to or at zero. Bruised in confidence, but undeterred the teams slogged through round 5 when things started too look up, although no double-downs would land for the rest of the game, and round 2 was a distant memory. Some perfect scores did help teams pull away, with There's Always Next Week performing well and landing atop the heap.
