Ahh an evening of 12 teams. For the drinking round I came up with doing a Heads Up mini tourney: I had each team send up a representative and did three heats consisting of four teams. The first person to give me a clue in which I get the Heads Up answer moves on to the finals. For the finals, I had the three winning teams play a full round of Heads Up, with the team giving the most clues that led to me getting the answer winning. It was a little difficult to do but ended up successfully managing it. Pasadena Peeps won the drinking round, with their rep loudly calling out good clues for me.
The points fluctuated wildly tonight, with a couple of questions tripping up a lot of teams and nullifying double down attempts (Forbes 400, not 100 being especially brutal). In the end, Da Bears took third, with Intravenous de Milo taking second, and Insane Frown Posse getting a huge double down in round 6, catapulting them into first place.

After last week's standing room only, tonight was a mellow eight team evening. King trivia provides the drinking round with a Survey Slam, and the tie breaker was won by Second Cousins, also winners of the evening. And, by what they've told me, is the first time they've taken first place since I've been hosting here, which is basically this whole year. The final round shifted things considerably, with second taken by Club Obi Wan, and third being taken by We Always Come From Behind (only two players!).

It was an absolute massive night with 14 teams and over 60 players. Being the anniversary of the Smurfs being created today, I had the teams name as many female smurfs as they could (turns out there are over 20!). Most teams only got Smurfette but a couple of teams mentioned other ones and it was Insane Frown Posse that took the free beer with three correct. As for the game, Pasadena Peeps dominated all night, only breaking up their perfect game/double downs in round 5. Club Obi-Wan came from behind with some late game doubles to seal second, and Da Bears took third after a week off.
