We were back at it after a couple weeks off for the holidays, and Trivia was in full force. We had 7 teams and it was a close race for those fighting for the middle.
No Use For A Name came out swinging hard in the first round, putting them securely in the top spot with 14 points, while Oscar's team at least made on the board with 1. And the rest of the teams, well, they were right down the middle of the road, with either 4 or 7 points to start out.
In Round 2, No Use For A Name went double or nothing again, and scored another 16 points to their name that they have no use for. Those yellow-eyed characters had nothing on these guys.
Our theme round this week was about marsupials, of which, no one was an expert, but we still had fun.
Round 4 - Guess What? Oh, that's something we can't talk about. Rule #1... If you know, you know, and four of our teams got this one after the first clue, while two others had to wait until the final clue.
The fifth round was our connection round, which coincidentally also connects to what I had for lunch today. It's a great day when you can have some BBQ!
The matching round was a tough one this week. How do people know when these landmarks were completed?
Big shout-out to Levitate 3 LE's in the final round, who not only knew all of the 6-lettered last names of presidents - they knew ALL of the presidents names, and wrote them all down! Great job guys!
Our first place team had the lead all night - No Use For A Name!
Second place was Risk it For The Biscuit!
In third place, we had a tie between Levitate 3 LE's and Decade-Dunce (pronounced like decadence), and the tie breaking question, the square mileage of Montana, went to Decade-Dunce!
Great to see everyone again! Can't wait til next week!

Debbie Double Downers started out at the top of the heap, and it was no coincidence that the other top teams in the first round all have numbers registered at KingTrivia.com.
We were all chugging along, with the teams keeping their statuses pretty steady until Round 5, when Brane and Donner, Dancer, and Blitzen tried for the Double-or-Nothing, and unfortunately missed the mark, causing them to fall a few slots down the list, and pushing The Flying Fuckers out of last place!
Then in Round 6, we had a huge upset, when Love Pit doubled down on the matching of books to the decades they take place in, bursting them into the top spot!
The Final Round was a tough one this week, with the two teams who had the most correct answers only got 7 correct, but two other teams decided to go for the Double-or-Nothing.
Lots of fun was had by all, as we saunter into the holiday season.
No trivia on 12/24 or 12/31, so I'll see you all again in the New Year!
Happy Holidays!

Quite an eventful night at Bar Charlie for this round of trivia! We had eight teams, one of whom is currently in the running for the Tournament of Champions in LA!!
I Wish This Mic... and Team 5-1-0 both started out strong out of the gate, gathering 14 points each in the first round - that's all correct answers, going double-or-nothing, and getting the two bonus points for having a team number registered on KingTrivia.com, and NAS*D not far behind with 12 points (just missing that team number)!!
In Round 2, newcomers Beciderself cashed in on the double-or-nothing for the picture round, as did Festivus For The Rest Of Us and Team 5-1-0. There must be something about Mary...
You'd think Seattlites would know a thing or two about Stormy Weather in Round 3. And most of them did pretty well. But I'm proud of you all for at least all getting Seattle Storm correct as our WNBA team!
Guess Who was a good one this week, and I even overheard one member of Festivus For The Rest Of Us saying Bill Murray after the first clue (worth 10 points), but unfortunately for them, they didn't believe her until we got down to the 6 point clue.
In Round 5, only two teams were able to find the correct connection between The Princess Bride, Wrap It Up, Shirt, Tenting, Slip 'N Slide, Halter, Weddings, Sweater, and Sheath as types of Dresses. I guess it helps if you get all the first 9 answers correct first, haha.
The Matching Round caused some heated discussion this week about the difference between a spokesperson and someone who's merely been in an ad for a product. Luckily I have the last word on such things, and after reviewing the play on the field, I reversed my first ruling, allowing Team 5-1-0 the point (amongst grumbling from some other teams).
And the Final Round caused LOTS of cheering when the question was announced - these people know their seltzers!
In the end, it was Team 5-1-0 in 1st place, Festivus For The Rest Of Us in 2nd, and I Flushed My Toilet 15 Times in 3rd this week.
Great job to everyone for having the most fun bar trivia in all of Seattle! I wouldn't be here without you guys. And big thank you to those of you who didn't come for trivia, but stayed to play anyway! Hope to see you back next week 🙂
