- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
A perfect night? EVERY Team Registered? Quizmasters rejoice. The other way of looking at it is it totally cancels out the bonus points at the end, but hey, having them ensured a level playing field and also keeps the teams league records growing with the possibility for cool events like the Championship and the chance at $10,000!
Teams scored well in round 1, but there were 3 successful double-downs that immediately spread the pack.
Only 1 double down came in Round 1, but not any of the previously bold teams, and Can't Wake Me Up jumped into a lead they would maintain the rest of the game.
By Round 5, we had gained one more team (who also registered), although fared poorly in their debut Round, redeeming themselves with a successful double-down in Round 6.
Round 7 was in 4 parts, but the shattered dreams were uncountable. Of the 4 highest scoring teams in the final round, 3 would take the podium. "Can't Wake Me Up", There's Always Next Week, and The Kid's Table.

Pineapple Hill Sallon, Triva, and a King's Game? Could the night get any better?
The evening opened up with confidence and 6 teams successfully doubling down. Unfortunately "I can't read what you've written there" was unsuccessful with only one incorrect answer, but for a solo player here for the beer, attitude could not be sunnier
Round 2 had some strong double-downs and a shocking goose-egg for Running with Caesars, but they brought it back being not only the only team to double-up in round 3, but also the only team to score higher than 4 points, taking a commanding push into podium contention.
Round 4 had everyone in suspense, trying to escape minus points, and most teams worked their magic with the 6 point clue.
Round 5 started to get serious after teams were bitter and stoutly defeated in the drinking round by "Caesars.
Round 6 saw an amazing flurry of jeers as teams [REDACTED]------------------------------------------------!
Round 7, after the infamous [REDACTED] incident in round 6, where 3 teams [REDACTED] until [REDACTED] everyone agreed to move forth as respectful competitors, but not before [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] to [REDACTED].
Fun was had by all, but none more than the Quizmaster, who got to watch it all [REDACTED].

What a killer night. Mostly regulars turned out which meant competition was as stiff as a starched collar on a winter night.
Round 1 threw enough teams into the realm of doubt to prevent any early double-downs, but in round 2, 4 teams successfully grabbed 12 points.
Everyone's favourite drug-using pitcher was enough to throw There's Always Next Week under the bus and ruin their hopes for a double-down, falling behind 3 teams who capitalized on their confidence and locked in another 12 points. Round 4 was more or less split between teams who waited for the second and fourth clues, but it was the drinking round that had everyone applauding as the representative from Pineapple Analytica guessing the exactly correct year that smokeless gunpowder was invented.
Round 5 spread the field again with some goose eggs due to double-downs. Round 6 saw five teams score 20 points with double downs that no one risked for the 2-part Round 7
A tie-breaker for the Game‽ amazing! With getting the closest guess without going over, Tequila Mockingbirds won the day (even if they still shorted it by 2,800 psi).
