QUIZ RECAP

Your Quizmaster fully expected a small handful of rain-drenched stalwarts to comprise the entire ranks of our trivia game last night. You can imagine her surprise when we hopped into Round 1 with 27 teams.

And those 27 teams were ready to party. Double attempts, well- and ill-fated, were the dominant theme of the game, with most teams going for it at least once. Those successful ones really jumped some teams up, while those unsuccessful held a few teams back.

In the end, it was The Test Tickles who scooped first for the fourth week in a row at an astronomical 91 points. That meant they scored four doubles, in Rounds 1, 2, 5, and 6, and got that 10-point Round 4 guess. Next up was Brewsual Suspects with a big 83 points, who scored almost identically to their first-place rivals save for that Round 2 double. Third went to Cool Princess 500, whose 69 points came from those same Round 5 and Round 6 doubles and that 10-point Round 4 guess. Well done, all teams!

It is truly a blessing to this little host to show up at a big leaky brewery in the midst of a winter storm and be greeted with such kind and enthusiastic trivians (and as always, fabulous staff). What a life.

This week's trivia game had everything I love about Brouwerij West: Triumphant victories, narrow defeats, that one team that starts with an inappropriate name and then drops out by Round 3, and a healthy helping of giant doubles. But there can only be three prizes!

In the end, it was The Test Tickles who took first with a big ol' 83 points! They scored strongly throughout the game (including a Guess Who? 10-point guess) and earned a couple 20-point doubles in the later rounds to secure the lead. Next up was Turd Ferguson with 64 points, who also got that 10-point guess in Round 4, along with a Round 5 double. Third went to Team Chili's with 60 points this week, their first time placing and winning a prize! They scored doubles in the first two rounds, then made up for an unsuccessful Round 5 double with a perfect Round 7. Well done, all teams!

A tough game this week! Only two teams got a correct Guess Who? guess, only half our teams got the Find the Connection connection, and nearly all the doubles were gobbled up by the first-place team.

In the end, it was Counter Intelligence who grabbed first with 77 points! Their doubles in Rounds 1, 2, and 5 launched and kept them ahead of the competition. Second went to Brewsual Suspects at 50 points! Their Round 2 double was good insurance for their later incorrect Round 4 guess. In third came Cool Story Brew with 42 points! Their consistently high scores kept them nine points ahead of their next competitors. Well done, all teams!

So glad to kick off 2019 with my dear Brouwerij trivians. May it be the best yet!
