QUIZ RECAP

This one started with a technical glitch, resulting in the game starting on round 2. But everyone rolled with it and we got off to a solid start. Nearly everyone successfully doubled in rounds 2 and 3, so this was a close one across the board going into round 4.

Tequila Mockingbirds held a slight lead coming out of 4, with a cluster of teams 4-6 points behind. A good double by Running with Ceasars in round 5, allowed them to slide into the lead. Doubles by both in rd 6 separated them from the rest and they stood pat to the end.

The really interesting race ended up being for 3rd place. 4 teams were huddled together, separated by only 2 points going into round 7. Had any of them been able to successfully double they could have passed Tequila for 2nd place. However, since there were no doubles in round 7, they had to duke it out, naming 10 of the 12 countries with the most McDonald's Restaurants. We ended with a tie for 3rd and a tie for 5th.

Flying Solo and The Oxymorons then had to face each other in the tie-breaker question: "In what year did Iran close its last McDonald's?" Solo made a gallant effort with his guess, but Oxy nailed the answer with 1979, taking 3rd place.

As usual, the Pineapple Hill Saloon was happening with King Trivia. A great turnout, lots of doubling and, I think, a good time had by all. The regulars are rotating victories, and the games are usually nail-biters right to the end.

Congrats to Running with Ceasars!!

QUIZ RECAP

Big turn out for the July send-off. There were many successful doubles throughout the game, and a few failed ones as well, one at a critical juncture.

Tequila Mockingbirds jumped out quick with good double on round 1 and held position through round 4. With a good double on round 3 and a perfect 10 on round 4, The Kid's Table closed the lead and stayed virtually even with TM through round 6.

There's Always Next Week landed the only good double on round 5, which pushed them into the lead through round 6. C U Next Tuesday plodded along toward the back end of the middle of the pack through round 6. As is usually the case, round 7 was where most of the excitement was.

Successful doubles by The Kids and C U, along with the aforementioned falter by Tequila scrambled the pecking order.

TANW had strong steady answers for 6 & 7. When the dust settled they had a firm hold on 2nd place.

C U's good double catapulted them from the middle of the pack, past Tequila, who faltered on 7, finishing in 3rd. The good double for The Kids, pushed them well past TANW, giving them the victory.

Great crowd tonight. Good energy. Congrats to The Kid's Table!!

Great turnout tonight. Pineapple Hill brings 'em in for King Trivia on Tuesday nights. 12 teams.

Tequila Mockingbirds, after faltering in round 3, took control in round 4 and held on to take 1st place.

The Kids Table and There's Always Next Week virtually held hands through the first 5 rounds, until The Kids successfully doubled in round 6, taking control of 2nd place and leaving TANW alone in 3rd.

Nasty Women made it interesting early, actually holding the lead in rounds 3 & 4, but successful doubles by the eventual leaders, in 5 & 6, pushed them past Women.

Congrats to Mockingbirds on their 1 st place finish!
