QUIZ RECAP
A chill was in the air, and the millionth presidential debate was on tv, but the trivia faithful were warm and in prime shape in the Tam O'Shanter. The night's drinking round, asking teams to name as many sports appearing in the 2020 Summer Olympic Games as they could, was won by the General Washingtons by a small margin. The margin was even smaller between them and Bandur Wagon for second place in the game -- in fact it came down to a tie, which the Washingtons won. Joel & the Butts, though, coolly strutted their stuff into first with a double in the final round.
***WARNING***
There is no trivia next Tuesday due to Tam's Robert Burns Dinner. In place of questions, answers, and beer will be poetry, haggis, and...beer! Worry not, though, for after the Ploughman Poet has had his due we will be back for more King Trivia on January 28th!

The first night of trivia in the brand-spanking-new decade saw new teams and old on the field of competition...aka the bar. O'Trivia Newton John (or O'Trivia Mute-on Bomb/O'Trivia Shoot Your Mom etc.) caught on quickly to the drinking round that allowed teams to use their phones to find the requested information. Even without the power of the internet, they had the mettle to finish second place overall, ahead of Party of 5 and just two points below winners the General Washingtons.

QUIZ RECAP
With the bar decorated and packed, teams took refuge from the cold rain and helped themselves to a full plate of hot competition. From newcomers to familiar regulars, one and all celebrated the final night of trivia at Tam O'Shanter for the year of 2019. General Washingtons and Flux Capacitors competed closely for the whole game, coming in with a tie during the Drinking Round (name as many types of shrimp that Bubba mentions in Forrest Gump). The Washingtons were successful in the tie-breaker, but were edged out by the Flux Capacitors for first place in the game. Meanwhile, O'Trivia Newton John solidified the Tam as their trivia home by finishing in the top three for their third week running.
Keep your brains wrinkly and nimble during the holiday break, and see you clearly in 2020!
