Drinking round consisted of a survey slam that was won by tie breaker, kudos to Second Cousins for prevailing. Not much changed during the game, in the end it was Second Cousins in third, Twinkie Time in second (Grats on first time placing!), and Pasadena Peeps dominating all night to take the gold.

Ahh an evening of 12 teams. For the drinking round I came up with doing a Heads Up mini tourney: I had each team send up a representative and did three heats consisting of four teams. The first person to give me a clue in which I get the Heads Up answer moves on to the finals. For the finals, I had the three winning teams play a full round of Heads Up, with the team giving the most clues that led to me getting the answer winning. It was a little difficult to do but ended up successfully managing it. Pasadena Peeps won the drinking round, with their rep loudly calling out good clues for me.

The points fluctuated wildly tonight, with a couple of questions tripping up a lot of teams and nullifying double down attempts (Forbes 400, not 100 being especially brutal). In the end, Da Bears took third, with Intravenous de Milo taking second, and Insane Frown Posse getting a huge double down in round 6, catapulting them into first place.

After last week's standing room only, tonight was a mellow eight team evening. King trivia provides the drinking round with a Survey Slam, and the tie breaker was won by Second Cousins, also winners of the evening. And, by what they've told me, is the first time they've taken first place since I've been hosting here, which is basically this whole year. The final round shifted things considerably, with second taken by Club Obi Wan, and third being taken by We Always Come From Behind (only two players!).
