Last night, There’s No I in Quizzo pulled off a perfect final round to win by one and earn themselves an invite to this Sunday’s invitational. Can your team pull it off tonight? Action starts at O’Neals at 8 p.m. $50 gift cert for the winners, and $100 if you can crack 120 points. On to City Tap House at 10:15. Again, a very winnable quiz, and the winner walks home with a cool $100. Hope to see you tonight!
William Tell was forced to shoot an apple off his son’s head because the Vogt (or overlord) of the canton of Altdorf demanded that he do so after Tell refused to bow to his hat. Who was this big time jerk?
What would be the odds of shooting an apple off a loved one’s head? Nat and I got into a heated debate about it on this week’s podcast. We also discussed which was the bigger choke, the Incas vs. the Spaniards or Oilers against the Bills?
Here they are. Teams in yellow made the cut, teams in blue are on the bubble, and teams in red still have hope: next week is Wild Card week, where any team that wins earns an automatic invite. As for bubble teams, if any teams that made the cut elect not to play, you’ll earn their spot. We typically have a few teams that can’t make it, so there’s still hope. Invites will start going out this afternoon.

It’s all or nothing Thursday at Industry and Bards, as any teams who need a late push to earn an invite better make it happen tonight or forever hold their peace. We kick it off at 6:30 at Industry. Still a terrific opportunity to get a win (the House team won last week, for heaven’s sake.) We’ll also play some Name That Tune for Candy. On to Bards at 9:15. You already know the deal. It’s gonna be packed, it’s gonna be fun, and it’s anybody’s ballgame. Hope to see ya tonight!
Action starts at 6:30 at the Vous. And yes, I will be there this evening. On to Founding Fathers at 8:30 p.m. Been nuts there lately. If you want to guarantee your team a seat, get there early. Yeah, I’d expect some questions having to do with Veteran’s Day, but you won’t need to know a whole lot about war to get most of them right. Alright, I’ll see you tonight.
We kick it off at the Markets at Comcast, our final quiz there in 2015 season. Been a terrific year, packed house nearly every month. Let’s end strong tonight. Action starts at 5:30 p.m.
On to O’Neals at 8 p.m., where any team that can crack 120 points and pull off a win gets to double their prize to $100 gift cert.
We wrap it up at City Tap House at 10:30, where it really is anybody’s ballgame. Great chance to get a win and score a $100 gift card. Hope to see you tonight!
Well here we go. Our scores with less than a week left to play (these do not include last night at Sidecar). 7 quizzes left to earn yourself an invite. If you’re in the blue, you need to get your team together this week and make it happen. As of right now, some illustrious teams such as Popesack, Encyclopedophiles, and #1 Government Team Competitor are on the outside looking in. It’s also worth noting that the staff team at Industry, with that win last week, is within striking distance of an upset appearance.
So, in addition to quizzes this week, you can also earn points on facebook. Just post a picture of yourself in the midst of some fall foliage. You can also earn your team an extra 5 points by leaving a positive review on itunes for our podcast (the more reviews we get, the better our search results.) Just shoot me a line and let me know that the reviewer was you when you’re done.
And of course you can earn points by finishing first, second or third this week. Your best bet to score a win? Probably Industry, though City Tap House is also up for grabs plenty of times.
Then there is the last gasp effort, which is wild card week next week. Any team that finishes first earns an automatic invite. But if you don’t want to leave it to chance, I would get some physical challenges done and get your team out to quizzo this week. The Big Event takes place on November 22nd at the City Tap House and will feature live music from the John Train band (who are awesome).
The terrible book Moby Dick (which we discussed in our latest podcast*) was based on the disastrous voyage of what whaling ship in 1820?
If you don’t have itunes, you can listen to it here.
