Summer Invitational Scores Through 5 1/2 Weeks

Here ya go. These include action earlier this week. Teams in yellow are in line for bonus prize. Teams in red would be in if the season ended today, and teams in green are on the bubble. But keep in mind that it’s an all new quiz in the 2nd half of the week, so if you need some points, then you are welcome to play again this week. Also, I have just posted the first physical challenge of the season on facebook. So if you’re on the bubble, or want to get your team into the mix, you can quickly earn yourselves up to 5 points.

Quizzo Tonight


Mixing it up a bit this week, with a 5 round quiz of 8 questions each. Been a fun little change of pace. Action starts at the Vous at 6:15. $3 Stoudt’s Heifer in Wheat Pints, and $2 Miller High Lifes. On to the Black Sheep at 8 p.m. New specials every week and Name That Tune. It’s a new quiz, so if you played earlier this week, you are welcome to play again. (Oh, and in case you’re looking there is no question of the week this week) See ya tonight!

5 Round Quizz, No Question of the Week; It’s Total Mayhem!

It’s just gotten to be that point of summer where anything goes. And so this week we’re mixing it up a bit. Instead of 4 rounds of 10 questions, we’re going 5 rounds of 8 (with two wild card rounds and an audio round). Furthermore, there is no question of the week this week. Total chaos!

We kick off at O’Neals at 8 p.m. A chance to take on #3 Savage Ear and walk away with a $50 gift certificate. $3.50 Mexican beers and $5 quesadillas and burritos. On to City Tap at 10:30 p.m. Adam P’s least favorite quiz! You won’t want to miss it! ANd since it’s so damn nice outdoors, we’re gonna move it under the stars tonight. See ya outside at the Tap House at 10:30!

Quizzo Tonight

We move into week 6 of the Invitational (scoreboard will be posted Tuesday, as will our first physical challenge of the Summer Season). Tonight, we start at North Star at 7 p.m. We will be back on the main floor, so things will be much cooler than last week. Cheap Kenzingers, half off hummus, and Name That Tune. Great shot to get a win.

On to Sidecar at 9:30 p.m. Dollar off bitter beers, great food, and Name That Tune. And I think I might play around a bit with the scoring tonight, just to mix it up a bit. We’ll see.

JGT Power Rankings

#1. Jesters of Tortuga (City Tap). Ugh. Last week: #1

#2. Duane’s World (Black Sheep). Total domination at the Sheep. 8 wins in the last 10 weeks has them in the drivers seat at #2. Last week: #2

#3. Savage Ear (O’Neals). 3 wins in the past 4 weeks keeps them nipping and Duane’s Worlds toes. Last week: #3

#4. Careless Fister (North Star). Dominate at the North Star…when they show. This team has the talent to make a run at the top. But do they have the heart? Last week: #8

#5. Underground Bard (CTH). Another week, another one question loss to the Jesters. last week: #4

#6. Sons of Oligarchy (Sidecar). A 115 at the Sidecar means these oligarchs are cooking with oil. Last week: NR

#7. Happy Birthday to the Ground (Locust Rendezvous). Make the pilgrimage from their former haunt (North Star) into Center City, where they knock off the Jams and the Diabetics. Huge win for the Ground. Last week: NR

#8. Sidecardigans. (Sidecar) An emotional roller coaster for the Sidecardigans right now, as the Skins farewell tour begins. A respectable 103 still lands them in 2nd last week. Can they send Skins out with a win tonight? Last week: #6

#9. The Jams. (Locust Rendezvous) Something you almost never see at the Vous last week…the Jams finishing out of medal contention. Can they bounce back? Last week: #5

T-#10. Popesack (Industry) Get a win at Industry. Can these former Invitational winners get on a roll and earn an invite this season? Last week: #19

T-#10. Inkspot (North Star). Tough when you score a 107 and still finish 2nd. They are so close to Careless Fister, but can’t quite get over the hump. Last week: #9

12. Hooter and Chuff.

13. Exhausted Nihilists.

14. Tempura House.

15. L. Ron’s Diabetics.

16. Ghoul McLanahan.
