Kicking off Independence Day week in strong fashion we busted out 8 teams on a holiday week and saw our game host a (mostly) swapped out regulars for some long-time returnees and some newcomers to the game. Which means its time to crown a new champion... let's do it:

A lot of flip-flopping all game long, saw 4 different teams hold first place over the 7 rounds. In the end, deep knowledge of celebrity spawn and broadcast network initializing saw LA Bron celebrate the incoming big NBA signing in championship fashion -- with our newest regulars, Area 51, get caught by their insistence on premium cable.

In a dog fight for 3rd, it was actually round 2's successful double or nothing - tennis fans gonna tennis fan -- that pushed No Time For Name? into the upper echelon, and let them hold on dearly for 3rd, barely edging out Bed, Bath & Beyonce by 2 points...

Happy 4th.

There was this King Trivia game, held weekly at Rocco's Culver City -- slowly, but surely it grew, then it plateaued, but suddenly we live in a world, where Mondays at Rocco's Culver City are lively, and for the first time, the game crossed the double-digit threshold -- 13 teams threw down for the rights to call themselves trivia champions.

Several local regulars, a newly minted long-distance regular, and a bunch of folks who stumbled into a jolly, good Monday found themselves in a game where the winners Guessed Who on the first set of clues, only missed 3 questions the rest of the game -- to give Paddington a coasted 3rd victory in 4 weeks...

Just behind them, the late arriving (bc they travel from the South Bay), but dominant performing Area 51.

A chugging into 3rd, Itty Bitty Ditty Committee...

Good times, good times.

You know what I call 50% growth week on week in competing teams? A growing trivia night juggernaut on Mondays at Rocco's in Culver City.

You know the old adage -- sometimes how you finish a game, even if you don't can spark momentum leading into the next? Well...something was sparked last Monday, June 11th. After a couple of weeks finishing out of first (but never out of the money)Mr. T Says Curling is Cool...Fool! nailed all 10 Olympic decathlon events, successfully doubled and pulled themselves into a 3rd place finish. They finished that game on first, and carried that into Monday night. A quiet, but solid round led to getting 31 of the next 35 questions correct - and a championship night without the use of a single double or nothing. Impressive.

Also happening on Mondays at Rocco's? A budding trivia rivaly, as rolling into second was perennial contenders Itty Bitty Ditty. Now we just need Paddington Kills to resurface and our trio of trivia world beaters can have a cage match for the ages next Monday.

Not to be denied is Area 51 -- our longest distance traveling team, did not miss out on Round 1 this time, and found themselves the proud owners of 20 Rocco's bucks.

Last minute shouts to Silver Bottoms. Joining in round 4 once they discovered you had to play to be eligible for the free round of drinks, what start as half-hearted involvement for a beer became full focus, and nearly found their way to a 5th place finish... also impressive.
