Kool Aid. #Winning. TeamTeam #NotSoMuch...

It was a busy night at Trinity this week as we had an arrangement of egg heads arrive for our 9pm show, ready to unleash their drinking and thinking tekkers...

And quizzers were also in for a real (or not so real) treat in the bonus round on the night...

Yep, quizzers got a real treat in the useless knowledge category as they had to state whether the milk wagons were real or fake?

And yes, the answers were as follows: a) Real, b) Fake, c) Fake, d) Real!

But there was a clear winner on the night, with 41 points it was Ed Sedar Fan Club....

They took a $30 bar tab for their achievements!

Our other prize on the night was 2nd place, two teams had tied which lead to a rather theatrical sudden death...

The question was: In which year did German traveler Peter Minuit purchase the island of Manhattan from Native Americans for goods to the value of 60 Dutch Guilders?

Travis loves Kool Aid answered: 1672
Team Team answered: 1712

The correct answer was 1626! This meant that Travis Loves Kool Aid * NO 3-Way took second place with 39 points!...

They were rewarded with a $20 bar tab for their quizzical success!

Go on Lads! Serious Quizzical Tekkers!

This left Team Team rather unimpressed...

Always happy to be involved but better luck next time people!

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.
