QUIZ RECAP

It was so good to be back at Brouwerij West after a several week hiatus. All the familiar faces and trivia masterminds were there trying their luck. Almost every team shifted drastically throughout the game except for one team that stayed in first the entire game. That team was Counter Intelligence who kept doing double or nothings even after they had the game in the bag. In second place was Pacific Coast Dog coming from the bottom of the pack in the middle of the game and third place was That's a Tasty Burger. We also had a guest appearance from future Quizmaster Mo who did round 3. There was a vast variety of questions, but it didn't stop the Brouwerij West trivia crowd from knocking it out of the park as always!

QUIZ RECAP

Trivia definitely was only the second most exciting event last night since the Dodgers were playing! Even though the MLB stakes were high, the teams didn't let baseball distract them and brought their A-game to the trivia scene. It was a brutal battle to the end for both the trivia teams and the Dodgers. While the Dodgers didn't win, trivia was a big success.

Highlights included:

• A team writing "Men in Black" for almost every answer in the Alien Picture Round
• Me attempting to describe math symbols verbally (Alligator mouth over a line? Vertical squiggle? Roman E?)
• SO MANY ROUND 7 DOUBLES! Most I've ever seen!
• Not one... not two... but THREE doggies on the Pacific Coast Dog team, who all posed perfectly for their group photo (very good boys/girls... they deserve extra treats)

From the beginning, Counter Intelligence took the lead and maintained it with successful double after successful double - it was no surprise that they walked away with the first place prize! Second place went to Pacific Coast Dog, who had a slow start but came back HARD with three successful doubles for 20 points apiece in Rounds 5, 6, and 7. In third place, Hey You, Beer Me was rewarded for a consistent performance in each round as well as the only correct 10-point guess in Round 4's "Guess Where".

Thanks for the great night everyone - I'll see you in a few weeks! Happy trivia-ing and Go Dodgers!

QUIZ RECAP

The stakes were high on Wednesday as nine teams duked it out for a top three spot. Scores were all close through Round 3, with almost everyone successfully doubling Round 2. Round 4's "Guess What" stumped everyone! Many teams guessed "Frisbee" as the answer to the object, so there were a lot of lost points dealt out. The correct answer was "yo-yo" and the teams that guessed it correctly surged ahead into the lead.

First place went to Uncomfortably Dumb, which was well-deserved as they managed to correctly double down on multiple rounds and score a whopping 85 points. In second place, Counter Intelligence had three doubles under their belts and ended with 77. Dead Last defied their team name and snagged the third place spot despite their unsuccessful double in Round 6!

Great game everybody. See you all next Wednesday!
