Running a little late this week. This covers quizzes through last Thursday’s quizzo, and do not include this Monday or Tuesday’s results. A crazy week last week with tons of new winners completely shook up the rankings.
1. Million Dollar Robot Baby (City Tap House). An impressive win over Steak Em Up at City Tap House and losses by the 4 teams ahead of them in the rankings propel the Baby to the top spot. Last Week: #5.
2. L. Ron Hubbard’s Diabetics (North Star). One question away from perfection at North Star propels them up the ladder. Last week: #7
3. Steak Em Up (CTH and Bards). Not one but two second place finishes bumps them from the top. Last week: #3
4. Inglorious Barristers (Locust Rendezvous). 2 wins in the last 4 weeks at the toughest quiz puts them in a sweet spot. Last week: #11
5. Philliez Nutz (Bards). These guys have made a name for themselves by knocking off the Steak at Bards two o the past three weeks. I saw Nate sweet-talking them after the latest win, making it obvious that he’s trying to absorb yet another top competitor. Steak Em Up are a corporate quizglomerate if ever there was one. Last week: NR
6. Mister Lippers (Ugly American). A damn fine 119 point performance at Ugly American gets the Lippers on the big board. Last week: NR
7. The Jams (Locust Rendezvous). If they had answered one more question correctly last week, and they could very well be #1. A 3-point loss to the Barristers drops them in the rankings. Last week: #4
8. Firehouse (Black Sheep). Burst onto the scene with a 15 point win over Duane’s World and the Puma at Sheep. Are they a flash in the pan or a new rival at the Sheep? We’ll find out for sure soon enough. Last week: NR
9. What’s Good for the Puma (Black Sheep). Ordinarily, a 3rd place finish wouldn’t drop you this far, but there’s just been so much parity at quizzo lately it’s hard to stay in the Top 5 without a win. Last week: #2
10. Taking it to the Max (O’Neals). A convincing win at O’Neals get the Max back on the big board. Last week: NR
11. Team Popesack (North Star). A spanking at the hands of L. Ron drop them quite a bit. Last week: #3
12. Duane’s World (Black Sheep). Their precipitous slide down the power rankings has been Red Sox-esque. And I hear they’re drinking in the clubhouse. Last week: #9
