QUIZ RECAP

People are catching on to the Trivia Trends over at Bar Charlie! Seven of our eight teams are now registered with team numbers on KingTrivia.com, scoring those automatic bonus 2 points for the night.

Team 5-1-0 started out in the lead in rounds one and two, but then in round 3, No Use For A Name went double-or-nothing and jumped into the top spot. You'd think a round called Berts & Ernies would be as easy as 1-2-3, but that did not appear to be the case this week.

I thought we could have used the Gobble Gobble Turkey round last week, right before Thanksgiving, but alas, here we are, already stuffed.

Round 4 was a tough one this week as well for our Guess What? The first two teams to turn in their answers, guessed incorrectly, and the first two teams to guess correctly, didn't come in until the 6-point clue. One team decided they were better off not turning anything in, to avoid that minus 1 point penalty for a wrong answer!

In Round 5, five of our eight teams guessed the correct connection to the answers! You guys really know your Indiana Jones!

Round 6 was a highlight, with 3 teams scoring 20 points a piece, and one more that should have doubled down, but still scored 10 points, the remaining 4 teams all got 9 answers correct, but one of them went double-or-nothing, scoring nothing for the round.

The final round had three teams deciding they had nothing to lose and going double-or-nothing once again, costing them the round.

In the end, it was No Use For A Name in 1st, Risk it For the Biscuit in 2nd, and Santa's Hoes in 3rd.

Thank you all for coming out for Trivia Tuesday at Bar Charlie! It's always a fun night with you there! See you next Tuesday!!

P.S. - I can't believe I forgot to take a picture of team Raff Riff this week. I was waiting until they were all back at the table, and was going to come back around, and then totally forgot. So sorry Raff Riff! I'll get you next week!

QUIZ RECAP

We started the evening with three of our six teams going double-or-nothing on the first round. Quizlamic State and No Use For a Name both got the double points and Quizlamic State also got their two bonus points for being registered on KingTrivia.com, while I Was Told There'd Be Tofurkey unfortunately listed Ronald Reagan's Fraternity letters in the wrong order, causing them to gather no points on their double-or-nothing, but at least they still got their 2 points for their team number!

Love & HipHop Sea-Tac chose the wrong round to go double-or-nothing this week (they should have used it on rounds 1 and 3, but instead used it on round 2, pushing them down into the bottom couple teams).

Round 3, our Pilgrim Themed round was a pretty good one as far as correct answers, and yet Quizlamic State was the only team to double down, soaring them into the top spot.

In Round 4, our Guess Where round, we had a few overzealous teams turn in their answers after the first and second clues, before there was really enough information to decipher where we were looking for. Some of the incorrect answers were pretty far off (from each other and the correct answer) - Hudson Bay Company from O.G., Manhattan from I Was Told There'd Be Tofurkey, and The Mall from Love & Hip Hop Sea-Tac. The place we were looking for was Harvard University, for which the three teams that got it, all guessed after the 6 point clue.

The Fifth Round, this week's Find The Connection round, had a few teams scratching their heads for the connection. But No Use For a Name and Quizlamic State both connected the dots on different types of Sauces - nice work 🙂

In Round 6, the teams needed to match the Governors to their states, and EVERY TEAM checked that Double-or-Nothing box! Unfortunately, The Winning Team didn't quite live up to their name...

The Final Round was a close one. We were looking for the 9 UN Member States whose names begin with the letter "P". While 2 teams went for the final double-or-nothing, only Love & HipHop Sea-Tac actually got all 9 answers correct - and they didn't double down (womp-womp).

BUT, this brought us to a TIE between Quizlamic State and No Use For a Name! So we set out for the tie-breaker, how many double stitches are on an MLB regulation ball? Neither team was close, but you just had to be closer than the other team. And so, the tie breaker went to the team who picked lucky number 69 - NO USE FOR A NAME!!!

Great game to everyone! Thank you for coming out on your Tuesday to play Trivia with us at Bar Charlie! It was a ton of fun, hope to see you again next week 🙂

QUIZ RECAP

Trivia started out a little slow this week. Round 1 was a tough one, where the only two teams who scored 6 points were those who received two bonus points for having their team registered at KingTrivia.com. The most commonly missed question of the round was What state has Charleston as it's capitol? Every team wrote down South Carolina, when in fact the answer is West Virginia.

So, we moved along to Round 2, our picture round to name the series by it's opening title picture. Great work done by No Use For a Name, who got all 8 pictures correct! Could've doubled down, but didn't, playing it safe.

Our theme round kept everyone's scores pretty static, each scoring 3 points in Round 3, relating to Italy.

In Round 4, Guess Who had a tricky 10-point clue, costing one point each to Kennewick Warriors and Alex Trebek's Illegitimate Children who turned in an incorrect answer on the first clue. The rest of the teams all guessed correctly after a few more clues.

Finding the Connection in Round 5 was tougher than usual this week as well. The answers all included the last name of a famous actress who has been nominated for an Oscar... Not an easy connection to find.

Moving on to Round 6, our matching round, the teams needed to identify the movie within a movie. Great work to Impeachy Keen who got all the answers right, shooting them to the top of the score sheet.

The Final Round had the teams talking travel, specifically airports, naming the ten countries with the most airports. For the most part, the teams were able to correctly guess the top 6-7: USA, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, Russia, Argentina, and Colombia; but missed the bottom 3: Bolivia, Paraguay, and Indonesia.

All teams put their best effort forward and had fun, and that's what its really all about, isn't it?

Okay, if you must know, your top 3 teams for the night were Impeachy Keen in 1st, We Thought This Was Speed Dating in 2nd, and No Use For A Name in 3rd!

Don't forget to register your team on KingTrivia.com to get those 2 extra bonus points! See you next week!
