What a spectacular night! The game started off around one with eight out of the nine teams successfully doubling down! Nigh unbelievable!

In round two over half the teams double down again! We were thinking this is getting a bit ridiculous and things begin to slow down in rounds three and four, but pick right back up again around five with mostly 90% scores from most teams. With pressure mounting, round six proved fafateful as teams, wary of losing their standing, or forced to choose between doubling down or not. Goumg bold proved to be a wise decision for the casual American cannibals, that double down secured their place and round seven, while shaky did not steer them wrong, placing second for possibly the first time, only one point ahead of Quiz kid Donnie Smith, and following this week's champions Tequila Mockingbirds with an astounding 102 points, possibly the 1st Super-Hundred score in a year!

The Night started off with a splash, but after we cleaned that up, teams did moderately well, with a mode of 4. The second round was a little higher scoring, by percentage, but way higher by points, with more opportunities to rack them up!

Round 3 slowed things down a little with less possible scores, and less confidence, but Drake Wheeled through everyone's minds early and most teams had it by the second clue, scoring 8 points. After a brief respite in the drinking round, teams were back again, vainly trying to capture the theme for round 5, yet only one would score all 10 right and be able to successfully chance that double-down.

Round 6 was pleasingly high scoring and this quizmaster's faith in our teams history and linguistic knowledge was restored, just under half the teams scored successful doubles. It was round 7, though where teams brought out their best classic whodunit experience, searching every room for a Clue. There's Always Next Week, Nailing their third-in-a-row double down, adding to their previous success, Rocketed even higher, scoring an astounding 95 points, and winning the night.

  • We had a nice down home time at this local spot for some trivia, and replaced the usual background screen's sportsball games with Competitive show Dogs!

Half the teams doubled in round 1, which made for a thrilling start. The scores tipped a little with no double attempts in 2, and a lack of confidence saw a dramatic decrease in the average in round 3.

Teams sure knew their Walking Dead biographical information and Rick Grimes led the way to a quick and plentiful round 4. Round 5 was surprisingly well pointed, but it was 6 that stunned the scorekeepers as nearly every team had a perfect answer rate - however, less of them attempted doubles and some pulled far and away. The final round was rife with double-attempts but not all were fated to land, and the night was won by There's Always Next Week with an astounding 92 points!
