Pub Quiz Needs You!

We admit, we need you. We need you to tell your friends. We need you to tell your coworkers. We need to get the word out again about Pub Quiz.  If you are willing, share our status on Facebook.  We know that Pub Quiz is most fun when there is a good crowd of teams.  The more the merrier is true at Pub Quiz.  We'll keep providing the best game possible.  And now on to recap & topics.

Spoiler Alert: Clemenza Didn't Forget the Cannoli grabbed hold of the lead with a strong round 2.  They are constant studiers of the topics and that paid off with a 9 in round 2.  The teams behind them moved around, but they stayed on top.  However, they didn't pull the jackpot, so next week it will be 1 in 3 chances.

Spoiler Alert also was randomly drawn to pick topics for next Wednesday's round 2. Here's what they chose:
The Godfather Saga (movies)
The Originals (tv show)
Justice League of America (comics)

Thursday night we got together for the Tournament of Champions.  Here's how it went:
You guys did awesome!  We are very thankful that we had 21 teams show up and compete to see what were the trivia kings & queens of Fresno.  It was a close, tough game, as a championship should be.  When it was all said and done, Spoiler Alert: Gravity Was Not Actually Filmed in Space were our winners.  They hung around the top all night, but used a 9 point round 4 to leap frog over two teams in front of them.  Multiple Scoregasms finished in second, and Alana is Satan ended up third.  A special thanks go out to the Landmark, Sequoia Brewing Company and Cafe Corazon for prizes.
