Had a week off and had a great family vacation in Hilton Head South Carolina. Sincere thanks to Quizmaster Lauren for filling in for me and doing a great job!

Well we had a real nice turnout with 9 teams vigorously competing to get their picture with IronMan. Round 1 saw We Suck At Trivia and Two Stooges ace all 6 and get the 2 extra points for being registered. Pandemonium took a risk in round 3 and doubled but missed 1 and got the big goose egg! They would hang tough however and were in the hunt for the remainder of the game. One of our regulars Great Minds Drink Alike got off to a slow start, very unusual for them and had no choice but to double in Round 5. Sadly they also missed a few and had to take zero for that round. It was a pretty tight between the top 5 teams heading into Round 6 and as I said Pandemonium successfully doubled to put them right in the thick of it.

Interesting side note, 6 of the 9 teams got the Guess Where answer on the 10 point clue, a rare occurrence.

It was a 5 team race heading into the final round and wound up with Crew Without A Clue taking 1st place but 1 point ahead of TriviaAmigos! We Suck At Trivia once again proved they do not suck and came in 3rd and got themselves a $10 gift certificate to Strand Brewing Co. Another of our regulars Sam's Family finished with a strong 47 and Sam was very happy.

It was a very fun evening and I appreciate the enthusiasm of all the teams and their continued support

All for now, peace and Trivia to all!

Thank for letting me be your substitute QuizMaster for the week -- what a big, open-air venue with a view of the beautiful sunset. Our semi-pro trivia players Two Stooges landed in 1st place after a couple successful Doubles, with We Suck At Trivia falling just behind in second. Pandamonium successfully Doubled in the final round, allowing them to grasp on to 3rd place.

Kudos to WSAT for also winning the 6-Pack Challenge by knowing many of the TV show theme songs! But of course the award for My Favorite Team goes to Carnage Asada -- not only is that an epic name, but your enthusiasm remained top notch despite your continually low scores... You're a fun bunch, never change!

See you next week when your regular QM returns!

Another awesome evening of King Trivia at Strand Brewing Co. It was a warm evening but very pleasant conditions inside.

& terams in the hunt and they all got off to a slow start. It wasn't until Round 3 that things started to get exciting. In this round the answer for each question/statement had to be a homynym. 4 of the 7 teams (Les Quizerables, TriviAmigos, We Suck At Trivia and Los Pollos Locos all doubled correctly and began separating themselves form the pack. Had a fun beer round with a game called "Suck The Card". Involves a business card and straw and some healthy lungs. In the end Les Quizerables really sucked and took home the prized free brew!

From that point the 4 were joined by We Drink And Know Nothing and the battle for 1st was on. One of our regulars Great Minds Drink Alike never really got on track and had to play catch up but wound up in last with 29. They will regroup I'm sure. In the end all 7 teams turned in their pens for the bonus 2 points and Les Quizerables took first by 4 points.

As always so nice to have our regulars with us and even nicer to have new teams joining in the fun.

Next week I will be on vacation but the fun will continue with a sub Quizmaster who I'm sure will do a great job.

See you in 2 weeks, peace and trivia to all
