It was a small yet still exciting game tonight as we played a good old fashioned game of trivia. Let's get into it!

Veggie Scrambles played very conservatively with no doubles attempted & they missed out on a couple of doubles that they could've had with two perfect rounds. Nonetheless, their high scores were enough to finish 3rd & they take the bronze!

Trey Dongz were barely clinging to 2nd for most of the game, but then they made a huge splash with a successful double in round 6. Which insured their 2nd place finish as they take the silver!

Bruce Jennertalia started the game off with an amazing recovery as they failed on the double in round 1, but then answer that with 2 successful doubles in a row! They go on to only miss 2 questions in the 2nd half, which lead to a dominant win! They take the gold & are the champions of the night!

It was a tough one tonight as almost every round had at least one tricky question & we didn't see any successful doubles until the very last round. It was a very exciting end as well. Who came out on top? Let's get into it!

Party of 1 + 5 was one of the teams that didn't double until the last round, but they set themselves up for success with a foundation of good scores throughout the game. They wisely chose the right time to strike as well so they would place (they would've come in 4th otherwise). They jog across the finish line in 3rd, taking the bronze!

Fear of Flying & Bruce Jennertalia almost had an identical game tonight! The only difference was round 2, where Fear of Flying did slightly better, & round 3, where Bruce Jenneralia did slightly better. After round 3, they were tied for the entire rest of the game, which included both teams having a perfect round 6 & both doubling in the last round. It gets even crazier because we had to go to a 2nd tiebreaker as they also tied in the 1st tiebreaker! Fear of Flying comes out on top & Bruce Jennertalia finishes in 2nd, taking the silver! Fear of Flying takes 1st, grabs the gold, & are now the 2 week reigning champions!

We had a small gathering, but a, nonetheless, exciting game tonight!

Party of 1 + 3 had a decent start & even doubled in the 3rd round! They then started their 2nd half with a successful double that served as a recovery from the -1 in round 4. They glide along into a tie at the end with Clever Girl, but then win the tiebreaker & finish in 3rd, taking the bronze!

Bruce Jennertalia started the game off with a bang with a successful double, but then immediately fall victim to the infamous "Julia Child" answer & put "Julia Childs", which made them fail on the double. However, it simply bounces off of them with a superb successful double recovery in round 3, followed by the only perfect score in round 4, & then ANOTHER successful double in round 5. They finish the game with flying colors, but still fall short of 1st, taking the silver!

Fear of Flying have an amazing 1st half with 2 doubles in a row in rounds 2 & 3. They then throw in another successful double in round 5 for good measure. By this time, their lead was too great & they sailed into 1st, taking the gold & becoming the champions of the night!
