Superfriends...With Benefits enjoy some perks

We had our first ever three-way tie after the final round of this week's game. Superfriends...With Benefits, Fresnocity, and Starring Commander Riker as "The Beaver" all finished with 30 points. It was a close game with a good showing from many teams but these three rose to the top. As the tie-breaker we asked the teams what the combined score of Super Bowl 45 was and Superfriends...With Benefits managed to get the right answer giving them the win. Alas (for them), they did not draw the jackpot.

1. Breaking Dawn
2. Stephanie Plum Novels
3. Anne of Green Gables (mini-series)

Multiple Scoregasms achieve the three-peat

It wasn't looking like they'd manage at some points of the night but Multiple Scoregasms did it and achieved three wins in a row. That enters them into the pantheon of previously dominant and sometimes "hated" teams including The Work Of Bavmorta, The Mad Figs, and team-who-changes-their-name-every-week. It's tough being on the top and the reign inevitably has to come to an end, but we'll see how long Multiple Scoregasms can keep the streak alive. I Am An FBI Agent! pulled a round four win that we think surprised even them. Will their potential round 2 advantage be enough to unseat the current champions or will some other teams mount an offense? This week we're down to the blue chip only. That means that the winner takes it all! Use your time wisely to study up:

1. Weezer
2. Rent (Musical)
3. Big Break (Golf Channel)
4. Oi! Bands
5. Breaking Dawn (Novel)
6. The Office (TV Show/U.S. version)
7. Entourage (TV Show)
8. Banking Regulations
9. San Jose Sharks
10. Interpol (Band)
11. KMJ Radio Shows
12. California Surf Spots
13. Cooking Terms (Not Baking)
14. Banking Terms

Those are some tough ones. Good luck and we'll see you next week!

Multiple Scoregasms gets the repeat win, they're hungry for more

We sorely missed Carrie at the head table for our one year anniversary pub quiz and the night was not without it's issues but we made it! One whole year of pub quiz. Here's to many more. Thank you for your support and your desire to play. We couldn't do it without your enthusiasm for trivia.

And in true dramatic fashion, it came down to an overall tie breaker in which we asked the two tied teams to guess what our highest weekly turnout was for the year. Multiple Scoregasms guessed 134 and Say My Name, Mitch guessed 183. The answer was 144 and so the answer was clear. But Say My Name, Mitch pulled out their first round 4 victory securing them the opportunity to amuse and confuse you with their topics. Enjoy and we'll see you next week!

1. Typography
2. Criminal Minds (TV Show)
3. Abstract Expressionists
4. Charles Bukowski
5. World Series of Poker
6. Golf U.S. Open Winners
