Quizzo Tonight
We start week 5 of the Invitational with quizzo at the North Star tonight at 7 p.m. Word of warning: we are doing it upstairs in the dining hall tonight, due to the Dick Dale show downstairs. An excellent opportunity to get a win (Winning score last week was a 75). Cheap Kenzos and hummus.
On to Sidecar at 9:30. The Sidecardigans seem to be warming up. Can you cool them off? Gonna be a little more science this week. See ya tonight!
JGT Power Rankings
1. Jesters of Tortuga (CTH). Meh. Last week: #1
2. Duane’s World (Black Sheep). ALmost lost the #2 spot last week, but wrangle it back with another win at the Sheep. Last week: T-2
3. Savage Ear (O’Neals). One dominant performance away from a solo #2 ranking, but lose a heartbreaker at O’Neals and drop to the #2 spot. Last week: T-2
4. Underground Bards (CTH). Incredible how evenly these guys match up with the Jesters. In the past four weeks, they’ve won once by 1 point, and lost twice in OT. Last week: #5
5. The Jams (Vous). After a recent slide, they return to the Top 5 with a big win at the Vous. Last week: #6
6. The Sidecardigans (Sidecar). Two straight at the Sidecar has these guys rocketing up the charts. Last week: #7
7. Hooter and Chuff (O’Neals). Big upset win over the Savage Ear. This team desperately needed this. Questions were being asked about their recent slide. Last week: NR
8. Careless Fister (North Star). They haven’t learned yet: this isn’t a hobby. It’s a cult. And if you want the oracle who runs this ranking system to respect you, you can’t be taking “weeks off”. Last week: #4
9. Inkspot (North Star). They tend to clean up the mess when Careless Fister doesn’t show. We’re on the brink of a rivalry at the North Star, if only Fister comes to the light. Last week: #15
10. Pawnee Goddesses (Industry). Where did these ladies come from? Are they destined to become real contenders or one hit wonders? Time will tell. Last week: NR

Summer Invitational Scores Through 4 Weeks
Here ya go, our scores at the midway point. Teams in Yellow would be up for a bonus prize if the season ended today, teams in Red would also make the cut, and teams in Blue have some work to do. If you are hoping to earn an invite and want to earn some points, I’ll make this simple for you…The Industry is BY FAR the bar to go to if you want to earn a win. And it’s not really even close.
