Playoff basketball and playoff hockey couldn't hold a candle to the excitement of Tuesday night trivia at The Fountainhead. This round was a relatively low-scoring what's a relatively low scoring affair, though not for lack of trying. Teens risked the dreaded double or nothing again and again and again, but in the end, only one team succeeded in their double, and ended up winning. Encyclopedic knowledge of Broadway shows helped the Ladies & the Tramps secure trivia supremacy.

San Jose was alive with Hockey Fever tonight, but 7 teams at the Fountainhead had to squeeze in some pre-Sharks trivia. Automating America has been tinkering with their team composition for weeks now, and a combination of the right people and the right questions came together to make them giant killers, toppling perennial faves Ask My Balls to take home the hardware. The Balls boys stumbled in round one, and it proved costly, as they were never able to make up the lost ground, and new team Aunt Becky Got Me Into College snuck in for the bronze with bold play when The Drs. Are In couldn't pull the trigger on double-or-nothings rounds.

Perhaps a record number of teams tonight, with 10 - we're really getting a steady stable going here at The Fountainhead! Tonight was a difficult game for everyone, with only two successful doubles early in the game, which ended up making all the difference. Those two teams, Ask My Balls and Central Standard Time (formerly Aunt Becky Got Me Into College), doubled in Round 2 and remained virtually tied for the rest of the game - with Ask My Balls barely eking out victory by 1 point! Automating America rallied a bit too late to catch 'em, coming in 3rd. A low-scoring game at 50 points!

Pat's back next week!

(Note: Again, the game ran a bit longer than usual, so Ray represents the champion 4-person Ask My Balls, who moved on early to the next trivia in town!)
