Johnny Goodtimes Autumn Invitational Scoreboard!

autumninviteHere ya go, the scoreboard. We’re only three weeks in, and already 64 teams are on the board. Only 25 of them will qualify for the Fall Classic, scheduled for November 14th (I am keeping open the possibility of the 21st if we lose a ton of quizzes to the Phillies). Venue details could be released as soon as tomorrow. If you have not played yet, there is still hope, as there are still 5 more weeks to go. But I wouldn’t wait too much longer, or it’s gonna be hard to get into the mix. As for best place to score points, well I’d say most spots are pretty wide open right now. We had new winners at both O’Neals and Ugly American, and the Black Sheep always has a lot of parity. Here is the schedule for this week.

MONDAY

  • The Westbury (with Mike Minion) 10:30 p.m.

TUESDAY

  • Terrace Taproom (with Mike Minion) 7:30 p.m.
  • O’Neals 8 p.m.
  • Bards 10:15 p.m.

WEDNESDAY

  • Locust Rendezvous 6:15 p.m.
  • Black Sheep 8 p.m.

THURSDAY

  • Ugly American 8 p.m.
  • Bards 10:15 p.m.

Quizzo News and Notes

Picture 9First of all, the JGTAI rolls on tonight at the Westbury with Mike Minion. Great beer specials as always and of course a friendly face behind the bar in the form of JohnniE. Mike has informed me that tonight the 3rd Round will be a Mystery Round. Seeing as how there are few people I know as mysterious as Mike Minion, this should be interesting.

Secondly, tomorrow night will be our final Tuesday night quiz at the Bards. I will still be doing the Thursday night quiz, but Paddy and I talked and decided that we’d get more bang for our buck with one quiz a week there. I am already in talks with a few other places and will hopefully have a new spot lined up soon. I’m looking to try somewhere new, maybe West Philly, Art Museum, or NoLibs. I’ve got Center City more or less on lockdown, so I wanna diversify a bit if possible.

Ok, I’m working on JGTAI scores as we speak. Should have them up in the next hour or so.

Finally be sure to check out the latest post I did over at isportacus, about Philadelphia’s disappointment in Cole Hamels for not throwing a no-hitter.Funny stuff.

Tripleheader Tonight!

frenchfryvousWe’re going back to the days of yore with tonight’s action, as we’re going tripleheader style. Can it be as amazing as last night? Gonna be hard to beat. Get this: A couple of hours after Roy wrapped up his no-no, Duane’s World became the first team in Black Sheep history to record a perfect score. In fact, they are the first team to record a perfect score outside of that notorious pitcher’s ballpark known as the Bards. The funny thing is that this came two nights after they scored a record team low 50 on Monday night. It’s a funny game, that quizzo.

And it continues tonight at three different venues. We kick it off at the Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. ($3 Abita Purple Haze, $2 Narragansett Lager), then move to the Ugly American at 8 p.m. (Dollar off all drafts). We wrap it up at the Bards at 10:15 p.m. ($2.50 Lagers and Miller Lites.) It’s gonna be a long Doctober. Might as well get your livers in shape now.

UPDATE: Rounds Two and Three will both be in honor of Halladay, but neither will be a sports round. It’s gonna be a fun quiz tonight. Hope to see ya there.

Celebrate Phils Win With Quizzo Tonight

phillies Barring extra innings or something silly, the Phils should be wrapped up by 8 p.m. That’ll give ya plenty of time to make it to the Black Sheep for tonight’s quizzo, which has been moved back to 9 p.m. to accomodate the beisbol. (The quizzo for the Rendezvous has been moved to Thursday at 6:15 p.m.) Speaking of the Phils, I just posted a Reds quiz over in isportacus if anyone wants to test their knowledge of the Phils’ opponents. And remember, you can score JGTAI points while watching the game tonight. How? Check out the latest Facebook Physical Challenge. And Let’s Go Phils!

JGTAI Enters Week 3 Tonight!

autumninvite1We’re back in business, as Week 3 of the JGT Autumn Invitational kicks off tonight. We get it started at O’Neals at 8 p.m. Truth be told, O’Neals and Black Sheep may be the best bars to score some points. Lots of parity at both places. Also, $3.50 Mexican Beers at O’Neals. We move to Bards at 10:15 p.m. where Lagers are $2.50 and they’ve started putting some new and interesting beers on tap lately (Try the Sly Fox Oktoberfest.) Also, you’re not going to get an easier opportunity to score a few points than this week’s facebook challenge. And keep in mind that Mike Minion will be hosting quizzo at the Terrace Taproom tonight at 7:30 p.m. Beat the rainy day blues with a little quizzo tonight!

Schedule Changes This Week!

charlieWell, it’s that time of year again. My favorite time of the year as a sports fan and my least favorite time of the year as a businessman, since I usually have to cancel a fair amount of quizzes. The good news is that we won’t have to miss any quizzes this week, but we do have to make a couple of minor changes. Locust Rendezvous quiz has been moved to Thursday at 6:15 p.m. That’s right, I’m pullin’ the old tripleheader Thursday. Also, Black Sheep Wednesday is still on, but will be pushed back an hour, so we’ll begin at 9 p.m. on Wednesday. So you can celebrate Doc’s complete game 4 hitter (I’m calling it) by keeping the party going at quizzo. So here is the week’s schedule:

TUESDAY

  • O’Neals 8 p.m.
  • Bards 10:15 p.m.

WEDNESDAY

  • Black Sheep 9 p.m.

THURSDAY

  • Locust Rendezvous 6:15 p.m.
  • Ugly American 8 p.m.
  • Bards 10:15 p.m.
