Final Quiz at Trinity :(

Final Quiz at Trinity :(

Quizmaster Sam Wickens returned this Tuesday night for what would be the final installment of pub trivia at Trinity. After almost three years of quizzin' (and 368 blog posts!) at Trinity the management have decided to call a postponement of Quizmaster's duties at their pub.

In the end, four teams gathered to compete for first and second place prizes.

Topping the charts this week was Ed Sedar Fan Club with 41 points, they took the $30 bar tab with delight as they added it to their collection of winnings, and the final winners at Trinity...

Second place on the night, taking the $20 bar tab, was Vodka Tartletts who were just short of a tie for first place by one point...

They finished with 40 points. Good effort though people!

As a result of the rather abrupt cancellation of quiz night, the ongoing quiz league will also be canceled as ordered by the management at Trinity.

Quizmaster apologizes to those teams involved, but as you can imagine our business can not operate without the partnership of pub venues. We hope all quizzers understand, and that the decision was made by Trinity's management.

But, they have not ruled out a return of quiz night to Trinity in the near future, so watch this space. Otherwise please join us at another Quizmaster venue to get your trivia fix!

Word is that McCarthy's Pub across the street may be teaming up with us as Quizmaster Kevin B. tends bar there on weekends. Watch out for details on this in the coming days...

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.
