Latest JGTAI Scoreboard Is Up

As we head into Week 4, the wheat is starting to separate itself from the chaff. Teams in yellow would earn an invite if the season ended today. Fortunately for teams in purple or not yet on the board, the season doesn’t end today. You’ve still got 5 more weeks. And I’m going to give you one more day with the current physical challenge if you want to score some points quickly and fairly easily. New physical challenge will go up tomorrow.

Last Shot at Football, Fashion, and Fritos Quiz Tonight

If you missed the football, fashion, and Fritos quiz last week, you do have one last shot to check it out. Tonight at North Star Bar, I’ll be hosting it one last time. Includes a picture round and a music round. Action starts at 7 p.m. I’ll have some Name That Tune action to give away free beers, as well as tix to an upcoming show. Hope to see ya tonight!

Overrated/Underrated Discussion is Off the Charts

Getting a TON of feedback on next week’s overrated/underrated quiz. I want your feedback too! Get in on the debate. On twitter I am asking people what they think the most overrated and underrated films are of all time. On facebook, I want to know, “Who are the most overrated historical figures of all time?” Get in on the discussion and I may use your suggestion as a question next week. If you’re not on twitter or facebook, you’re a weirdo just leave your thoughts below in the comments.

Champs Win 1920s Quiz

The Champs held off a spirited crew from Topical Team Name Here to win the 1920s quiz at National Mechanics, 97-93. The quiz was a lot of fun, but the real stars of the show were the band. The Blackbird Society Orchestra was nothing short of incredible.

I’ll be honest, I was excited about this quiz, and was hoping for a slightly better turnout (we got around 30 people or so), but despite the small crowd we had a lot of fun, and I really want to hire this band again for one of our future events. The majority of the quizzo crowd may not really care much for the 1920s, but even so you’d love these guys. They were unreal.

Autumn Invitational Scores are Posted

Here they are, folks, the scores for the JGTAI after Week 1. (Each week runs Monday thru Thursday, so last night’s results at North Star are not included.) The Top 15 teams after 8 weeks will earn invites to the Fall Brawl on November 20th. Gonna have tons of awesome prizes, live music, and a chance to earn VIP seating at the Quizzo Bowl for our winners. Top 10 teams will be in the running for a bonus prize, and the team with most physical challenge points wins a great prize as well. It is still way early in the contest, so don’t fret if you didn’t score in Week 1. There is plenty of time to catch up. Not only at our regular quizzes, but every two weeks or so there will be a bonus quiz where you can earn double points, like the Champs did on Sunday at the 1920s quiz. Next Bonus Quiz will be October 9th, and I’ll have details posted tomorrow. Going to be a fundraiser for an awesome cause. There are also talks of a Twin Peaks quiz on October 16th and perhaps a baseball quiz later in October as well. More details coming soon.

Fashion, Football, and Fritos Week

Going to be a very interesting week of quizzo this week, as our topics will be fashion, football (both American and futbol), and in honor of Arch West, junk food. I would highly suggesting adding a sports guy, if you haven’t already, and adding a fashion fan (and I’m going to go out on a limb and say that there will be no one person to fulfill both roles on your team.) And all of you baseball nuts who are jumping up and down with no baseball round with the playoffs starting this week, don’t you worry. Baseball questions are on teh horizon. Just gonna wait until we’re a little farther along in the playoffs.

Meanwhile, over on Facebook I am requesting your input for next week’s questions. Next week is going to be Overrated/Underrated Week, and all this week I am going to be asking you for things you think are overrated or underrated. Today, we start with movies. Post movies you think are overrated either on facebook or in comments below. After today, I’ll have you send me messages (We can’t have everyone seeing the answers). Anyways, I will be using your input on things that overrated and underrated to form many of next week’s questions. Should be fun.

Finally, I have added a new facebook physical challenge. And in lieu of some people requesting that they be more difficult, I am going to make this one a bit tougher. But you only need to get 2 photos to earn a max 6 points, as the photos will be worth 3 points each. I need you to get a pic of yourself in front of the two Charles Dickens statues on earth. (Either one is fine, though I doubt many of you will make the trip to Sydney). Hope to see ya this week!

Did Al Jolson Originally Sing “Paper Planes”?


Well no, but this is what it would have sounded like if he had. Furthermore, this is not the only Jazz Singer mashup. Here’s one in which Al brings sexy back. Jazz Age Quiz, coming Sunday. National Mechanics. Music starts at 6 p.m., quiz starts at 6:30. $400 in prizes. It’s gonna be aces. And don’t worry, you won’t have to be a history professor to have fun with this quiz.

Quizzo: The Game of World Domination

International week has been quite a sensation, with upsets at our first three quizzes and nearly at our 4th. The madness continues tonight with an all new international quiz. If you know your foreign geography, international cuisine, and games of world domination, then you should probably play tonight. We start at Ugly American at 8 p.m., where Corn Dogs are a buck, Lagers are $2, and French Fries are $3. On to the Bards at 10:15, where Fries are also $3 and Lager Lights are $2. Gonna be a great night for quizzin’, and your last chance this week to get your team on the scoreboard (Scoreboard will be posted Monday).
