Here ya go, folks! Updated scores and brackets. We’ll have a full update tmrw and analysis.

We’re back at it for another week, and we’ve got some openings for new teams to get involved. For those of you who haven’t played, this is a great way for you and your friends to hang out, have a few laughs, and play some trivia. About 80%-85% of teams that play one week come back again to play the next. Just a lot of fun, and the thing that separates this from the regular quiz is that people can play from ANYWHERE. Last week, we had players in Virginia Beach, Pittsburgh, Oregon, and even Japan. So if you want to do something fun with friends, family, or old college roommates, this is a great opportunity to do so. Hope to see ya this week!

Well folks, here they are, your brackets after Round One. Some MONSTER upsets in Round One. The three lowest seeded teams in the tourney all won.

The Nerd Region is setting up to see some instant classics in Round Two, as the legendary Jams take on the brash young upstart (and top overall seed) Boyz II Menehune. Menawhile, No I in COVID, featuring two players playing first thing in the morning live from Japan, advanced to take on Carole Baskin’s Husband.

While the Nerd Region is considered the toughest in the tourney, it was the Geek Region that put up the big scores this week. Lambda, Queefer Sutherland, and Evil Knieval all scored 43 or more to advance to the next round.

The Dork Region was about defense, but it did feature our most thrilling matchup of round one, as the Missing Heads edged the Underground Bard in a thriller, 45-44.

In the Dweeb Region, the Tiger Queens pulled off a monster upset with a 35-32 win over 19 seed FFSF. The Tuesday Night Quarantine Team knocked off the Quarantiners in another thriller, 40-39, and moves on to battle Covid’s Metamorpheses.

Teams that advance will play with Carl and I next week, but teams that do not, don’t worry…we’ll still have openings with J Michael, Chip, and Pat. The saga continues. If you’re posting about the tourney on your socials, please be sure to tag me (@johnnygoodtimes on twitter, Johnny Goodtimes Quizzo on Facebook, and @jgtquizzo on Instagram) and use the hashtag #AprilMadness.

Finally, planning on doing another quiz on Sunday night that everyone can play. I’ll have more details soon. Probably be on the facebook page. See ya soon!

Alright, some things starting to crystallize after two nights of quizzo. Congrats to the Jams, the first ever official winners in the tourney (and to the Testes Factory, the first ever official losers!). The Jams will have their work cut out for them in Round Two, as they take on the best team in the tourney, Boyz II Menehune. But Phil of the Jams is a quizzo legend and a former Quizzo Bowl champ. If you’re the Boyz, you’re not getting to face a cupcake in your first game.

Vaughn Hebron also marched past Alone Together and will now take on the Zodiac Killer. A promising matchup between two extremely experienced teams.

Lots of games on the line tonight. Below Basic tries to pull the upset over Queefer Sutherland, the Tiger Queens try to knock off an FFSF team that disappointed with only a 32, and the Tuesday Night Quizzo Club and the Quarintiners go head to head. There’s no I in COVID tries to sneak past the Meat Sweats score of 30, Not Last Place needs to score 39 to surpass Chasing Olive, and Socially Distant needs 37 to sneak past OK Doomers. Good look to all of tonight’s teams!

Yes, the tourney is underway. HOWEVER, it’s not all about the brackets. If it’s about seeing your friends and having some fun, then I’ve got some good news; we’ve still got slots available. Chip Chantry has openings on Tuesday at 7:45 and 8:30, Wednesday at 9:15 pm, and Thursday at 7, 7:45, and 9:15. J Michael has an opening Thursday at 7:45. AND I’ve just added Philly comedian Pat House to the mix, with openings on Wednesday at 7, 7:45, and 8:30.

It’s a fun quiz this week, just a general trivia theme. And I’ve got a great team of quizmasters assembled. You’ll learn more about them soon.

Still no games have gone final yet, but here are our scores after our first night of action (Encyclopedophiles is hard to read, they had 41). 7 tourney teams played last night. Our high score was 46 in an impressive performance by the Jams. The Testes Factory has their work cut out for them tonight. That will be our first game to go final.

And so we enter a brave new world, one that takes place not behind a bar but behind a computer screen. But the more things change, the more they stay the same: we’ve got a lot of familiar faces, teams like the Jams, Zodiac Killer, Covid’s Metamorpheses, the Sofa Kingdom, Queefer Sutherland, the Missing Heads, and Duane’s World, who have been playing for over 15 years now. Then we mix in some new teams like the Tiger Queens, guys in Virginia who are friends of a friend of my sister. We’ve got former beloved Bards regular Pong, whose career as captain of Look Up! Look Down! ended with a move to Chicago, now able to get the troops back together. They’ll all be aiming at the early betting favorites, Boyz II Menehune, who have been destroying the competition so far in virtual quizzo. Lots of storylines, lots of excitement, as we head into battle. If you’re tweeting or posting about this to IG, FB, twitter (and you should be!), please use the hashtag #Aprilmadness. Let’s make a little history, shall we folks?

What’s up, gang? We had a great week of quizzing last week, and decided to let everybody who played last week have a shot at the tournament. At the end of the day, we’ve got TWO slots remaining, and would love to fill them this morning so we can post the brackets for the tourney! This is gonna be really cool. Go to the spreadsheet here, fill in your slot, shoot your team’s $30 to @jgtquizzo on venmo, and you’re good to go!

If you don’t want to play in the tourney but still want to get some quizzing done this week, worry not: we’ve still 10 slots left with Chip and J. Michael. Hope to see ya this week!
