Four Pegs Recap 9/20/15

Yesterday was a beautiful day. So rather than stay cooped up inside we moved trivia to the back patio. We only had five teams. The atmosphere was very low key and relaxed yesterday which makes for an easy going game.  With the exception of our host, Brandon, reading the answer to one of the questions the game went off without a hitch. We had a close game all the way through with our winners, Alien vs. Pedobear aka the Bear Team, taking a early lead and holding the teams off throughout the game to take the crown. Hopefully, next week will be just a beautiful outside and we can have another al fresco trivia night.

Four Pegs Recap 9/6/15

This week was a holiday week so we went into Sunday's trivia game assuming to have a small crowd. Boy, were we wrong!. The bar was packed with people ready to play trivia. It was standing room only. As a matter of fact, there was no where to sit for our trivia host, Brandon. Luckily, a lovely couple gave up their seats so we were able to get started. The game got off to a strong start for mostly everyone. We had several teams start with nearly perfect scores and one team who did have a perfect score. Round 2 went just as well for our teams with one again having a perfect score. As a matter of fact, the same team that grabbed the lead from the beginning never let it go.  Our winners last night were We Started From The Bottom and Now We Are Bear or as I like to call em, the Bear Team.

Four Pegs Recap 8/30/15

We had a smaller crowd than normal for our trivia night. There were fresh faces and regulars alike. From the start we had a battle between two teams of newcomers. This was a battle for the first couple of rounds before Irresponsible Teenagers began to pull away from the pack. Thanks in part to almost perfect scores in the Same Name and Audio rounds.  They led the pack right up until the last round where our winners, Schmidtlapse, took the game with an impressive final round. It just goes to show you that you should always prepare for the final round and make sure you are looking into the secret question.

Great Job to our new winners, Schmidtlapse!

Four Pegs Recap 8/23/15

We had another GREAT night of trivia last night at Four Pegs! The bar was packed with trivia teams. It was great to see. From the start we had good scores across the board. It would be hard to pick a round that was the crowd favorite because everyone scored really well. After the first two rounds it looked like the game would shape up to be a two-horse race with two teams fighting all the way to the finish. In the end the winner was crowned by less than five points. After having a tie for almost every round out winner, Forever Alone & Friends, finally took the outright lead when it was needed.

Congratulations!

Forever Alone & Friends

On a side note. I would like to apologize for everyone in attendance last night for my atrocious Rain Man impression. I am sorry you had to sit through that multiple times.  - Brandon

Four Pegs Recap 8/16/15

We had a great, close trivia game last night at Four Pegs. We had a tie game at the end of almost every round. Most teams put up strong scores through Round 4. It was in the 5th round that we had some teams falter. Our 5th round these week was a math round, The Number After 2, with most questions being a math problem that had a 2 in the answer where we were looking the number after the 2 in the answer. After the last question in our math round, it turns out the most teams need to brush on on the periodic table as well.

After all was said and done our winner, Trivia Newton John, led almost start to finish, with the exception of our Math Round. The final score had Trivia Newton John one point ahead of 2nd place. When asked, her response was, " I only knew one horse constellation." Turns out one was enough.  Oh yeah, not only was one question enough, but one team member was enough. Our wining team consisted of just one member.

Four Pegs Recap 8/9/15

We had another great game of trivia last night at Four Pegs. We had two teams tied at every turn last night and had to resort to a tiebreaker to settle it. It was very exciting! Like most games, things started out strong for most teams, scoring very well in the first round. Our second round was rough on a lot of the teams. Apparently, the crowd last night, were not big fans of  The Simpsons.

Our Picture Round in Round 3 was a chance for most of our teams to rebound moving into the 2nd half of the game. Things stayed tight for the whole game for most of the teams. Our Urple round was not as much fun for most teams as it sounded. Apparently, everything purple is not high up on everyone's priority list. After everything was said and done we still had two teams tied for first place, P.K. Mafia & Cocaine Cowbears. So we went to a tiebreaker.

How long is the Mississippi River in kilometers?

With a guess of 3300 km, Cocaine Cowbears took the win.
