Big finish as league concludes at Trinity!

Six teams gathered at Trinity this week to battle it out for four separate prizes to reward our patrons for their intense thinking (while drinking, that is).

We had first and second place prizes for the quiz on the night, as well as an extra prize each for first and second place for our league contenders...

A banterful crowd of Brewers fans certainly livened things up in the latter half of the quiz, providing some decent banter for the assembled audience at the Irish pub!

It was newcomers The Honey Badgers who took the $30 first place tab on the night, who smashed it with a score of 52 out of 60 possible points on the night.

Well done guys!

Second place was decided after an intense sudden death between Vodka Tartletts and Timid Thor, who both tied on 50 points after six rounds of cranium crunching pub quiz.

Sudden death posed the following question: In which year did H.G. Wells publish his science fiction novel The War of the Worlds?

Timid Thor said: 1922

Vodka Tartletts said: 1958

The answer was 1898! Following the revelation of the sudden death answer, a gargantuan roar raced out from the lungs of the boys that made up Timid Thor, who were very pleased with the result!

They took the $20 bar tab for second place! Nice Superman shirt mate!

Elsewhere, as the scores from the quiz rolled in from the final installment of the quiz league, a winner and runner up was determined for our other two prizes on the night.

It was Vodka Tartletts who ended up winning the entire league, softening the blow of losing in the sudden death on the night....

They took a $30 bar tab for loyal quiz efforts...

And Ironically, the team that took last place on the night, actually won second place in our league! I...Might...Be...Gay...Soooooooo AKA Team Team took a $20 bar tab as the runner up in league....

Quizmaster believes these two really took our Drink While You Think slogan very seriously this time round...

Nonetheless, they won a prize! Quiz night continues at Trinity next Tuesday night at 9pm. Stop in again for more specials and prizes!

Until next time Milwaukee, drink while you think...

How the league works
Team scores over a predetermined number of weeks are accumulated in a table. The team with the highest cumulative score at the end of that period is crowned league champions and also wins an additional prize for its efforts.

Leagues vary in length, anywhere between 4-8 weeks. Each venue's league is independent of the next, as are the league prizes.

Your Team Name
During the league season it is advised that teams keep a consistent name from week-to-week in order for the Quizmaster to track scores. Teams playing under different names each week during a league will have their scores tallied separately.

Bye Weeks
Allowing flexibility, each venue grants so many bye weeks during its league. Under this rule, a team is allowed to miss so many weeks knowing they can still compete in the league. In the event that a team is present for the entire duration of the league their weakest scores are subtracted...

For example, over the course of an eight week league all team's are granted two bye weeks. If they miss two weeks they effectively score zero in their absence - but all team's will be judged on their six best results from the eight weeks of league play.

*Overall Score vs "Best Score"
The league table indicates each team's overall score and best score. Ultimately, the best score is all that matters as this score accounts for the bye week(s) allowed in the league. In some cases the overall score and best score may be the same depending on whether that team has missed a week (or more) of play.
