A Gasmic Win

We love it when every round has a different winner.  And we love it when games are close.  So we loved this week. Now, when it gets down to the last few weeks in a jackpot drawing, it the game gets a little tougher.  And you may not love that.  But this week's tough game produced some excitement as we ended up with an overall tie.  Obama Doesn't Need A Warrant to Read Your Sex-Gasms won the tie breaker.  They really showed their skills, or luck, by pulling the jackpot chip. Congrats to them on winning a tough game and the jackpot.

Study up for next week's game.

In other news, the big news this week is the announcement of our crosstown tournament! That's right, we're teaming up with the folks who run Sequoia Pub Quiz to put on a tournament of champions. Here are the basic details with more information to follow:

September will be qualifying month. Each of the four weeks in that month, at both venues, the top three teams will be automatically entered into the final. If a team that has already qualified is in the top three, then we'll go down the rankings to get the top three qualifiers who haven't done so already.

That means there will be 12 qualifying teams from Fresno Pub Quiz and 12 qualifying teams from Sequoia Pub Quiz. You can qualify at either quiz but not both and the venue at which you qualify will be the one your team represents in the final.

The Championship game between those 24 teams will take place on October 17th (yup that's a Thursday), and after the Big Fresno Fair closes up shop for the year.

The quiz format will be the same for qualifiers and the final will also be the same format with questions and music contributed by both of the hosts. All other aspects of the September games will stay the same with jackpots rolling or being won like normal.

We'll let you know where the final will be as well as other details and potential prizes/giveaways as we get closer. For now, if you're interested in being a part of this, start getting your A-team together and keep your minds sharp
