About Rocco's Tavern - Culver City
Good food, good drinks, good fun!
Good food, good drinks, good fun!
Double Or Nothing -- you cruel mistress. Some nights, it brings you to the top from way back, or stakes you to an insurmountable lead -- but, sometimes SOMETIMES you become Icarus, flying too close to the 2x or nothing sun, and an early lead evaporates into a tie-breaker for 3rd.
Once again 2 Girls'1Chris showed their mettle, once again this Quizmaster's intense popularity pulled their attention away from trivia, and straight to the Itty Bitty Ditty Committee -- who used a successful double round 3, a quick Michael Jackson identification, and the power of winning the drinking round to claim the Monday night title.
First timers, Crab Cake Fannypack snapped on in to a 2nd place finish, helped YES helped (camaraderie ya'll!) by our third place tie-break winners, Mr. T Says, Curling is Cool, Fool!
Until next week...

Who says novices can't win?! First time King Trivia players "What Happened Last Night" started out strong and stayed the course for the entire game - snatching an impressive 1st Place win. "Mr T. Says Curling Is Cool, Fool" could have overtaken them if they had only doubled or nothing in Round 6, when they answered all ten questions correctly. But there's no shame in 2nd place. "Woke Up Lil Dicky" and "The Ws" were battling for 3rd for most of the game - but in Round 7, "Woke Up" pulled it out for 3rd place. All in all, great play by all teams.

Sometimes, you can't make it to King Trivia night because you're stuck late at work. Sometimes you have other plans. How do you solve for that? You work late at a venue that HOSTS King Trivia so you can attend, play and dominate.
After being forced to take the week off because the place was too busy (probably have their quizmaster to blame for being such an attraction), 2 Girls, 1 Chris, our Rocco's staff team came roaring back with a huge round 7 to take first place.
Per usual, the Rocco's cash was saved for the customers -- so the actual championship belt went back to our regular trivia dominators, Mr. T Says Curling Is Cool... FOOL! who narrowly held off the hard charging first time team of John & Brandon.
Finding themselves in a familiar spot, i.e. winning, and hanging out in 3rd place, the Cheeseburger Backpacks parlayed strong music knowledge into Rocco's bucks.
