City Vs. City Quiz This Sunday


Philadelphia will be trying to defend her crown of “America’s Smartest City” this Sunday, and we need your help! We will be taking on quizzo teams from 8 different cities across the country. Here’s how it works…We’re going to take the exact same quiz that teams in these other 8 cities are playing. We will then add up the scores of the Top 5 teams. Whatever city has the highest score wins the Tycho Brahe Cup, and gets to claim the title of America’s Smartest City until next year’s cup.

The event will go down at the Trestle Inn this Sunday at 6:30 p.m. We’re playing by Denver’s rules, so they won’t any excuses when we beat them. It will be an 8-round quiz, and max team size is 6 people. I really, really want our top teams there, because I really want Philly to win this. Hope you can make it!

JGT Power Rankings

Alright, these are a day late BUT NOT a dollar short. A really wild week last week, with only two of our previous Top 10 being victorious. Really makes for quite a mixup with the QCS Computer (above), which calculates these rankings. And while the top 10 get write-ups, the list now extends to 20. These rankings do not include last night’s results.

1. Steak Em Up (Bards). Blah blah blah nerds blah blah blah freaks blah blah blah. Last week: #1

2. The Jams (Rendezvous). 10 wins in the past 12 weeks have assured the Jams of a spot very near the top of the rankings. Last week: #3

3. Duane’s World (Black Sheep). A third place finish at the Sheep drops them out of the #2 spot. Last week: #2

4. Hooter and Chuff (Multiple). A 116 point performance launches them not only back into the power rankings, but into the Top 5. Last week: NR

5. Savage Ear (O’Neals). A Triumphant return to O’Neals. Are they ready to compete with Mysterious Mr. Mapother for King of O’Neals status, or was this just a one time reunion? Last week: NR

6. Mysterious Mr. Mapother (O’Neals). An 18 point loss at O’Neals drops them two spots in the rankings. Last week: #4

7. 5-Finger Ass Print (Sidecar). A top 3 finish in each of the last three weeks, including a first place finish last week. This is a team on the rise. Last week: NR

8. Chick-Fil-Atio (Black Sheep). This team burst on the scene last week with a convincing win at a packed Black Sheep. Did Duane’s World just gain a new rival? Last week: NR

9. Ruby Tuesday (Ugly American). Every once in a while, these guys really blow if out of the water at UA. This was one of those weeks, as they won by 18 points. Last week: NR

10. Sidecardigans (Sidecar). A tough two point loss to the Asspring causes them to further slide down the rankings. Last week: #6
