Where’s Jon’s Rum Wins at O’Neals
JGTSI Update!
Alright hombres, so we’re over halfway through the JGT Summer Invitational, and a few things to note. First of all, this thing is far from over. The next three weeks will be the most important. In addition to earning points at quizzo, I have offered up several opportunities to score points on facebook. It is extremely easy to score up to 4 points in the next 24 hours, and I will be offering new opportunities to score almost daily from now until the end of the contest. Also, next week offers a grand opportunity to get right back in the mix, even if you haven’t even played yet. Details to come on Monday.
As for this week, well quite frankly things have been a little slower than in weeks past. What does this mean? It means that tonight could be a great chance to score some points. I think everyone went on vacation this week, so now’s your shot to make a move. Ugly American at 8 p.m. Bards at 10:15 p.m. See ya tonight!
Quizzo Tonight!
We’re back in action tonight, and yes, the Locust Rendezvous quiz is on Wednesday this week. Action starts there at 6:15 p.m. Truth be told, there’s good competition at the Vous right now but not that many teams, so you’ve got yourself a shot of scoring JGTSI points tonight. Furthermore, they’re offering Abita Purple Haze for a mere $3 a pint and Lager Light bottles for $2. At the Black Sheep, it’s been a packed house lately. If you’re playing tonight, I would highly suggest getting there early to get yourself a table. Oh, and one team took up my offer on facebook and scored two bonus points. But the offer is still on the table for another team. If you’re looking for points, this is a good way to earn them. I’ll have a new chance to earn points on facebook tomorrow morning.
Question of the Week
JGT Summer Invitational Scores After 3 Weeks
Here they are folks. Steak Em Up has a comfortable lead, but then things get interesting. Mostly usual suspects at the top, but there are a number of teams just outside the Top 10 (actually 11) looking in. And with a several more wrinkles in the weeks to come, I think we could see a lot of movement in the Top 10 of this leaderboard.
First Half Stats at Locust Rendezvous
Here’s the stats from the first half of 2010 at the Vous. The Jams continue to be the class of the bar, but Magnus is putting up really good numbers thus far this year as well. The Inglorious Barristers, meanwhile, seem to have a condition I like to call “the Narcotyzing Dysfunktion” (a knack for 2nd place finishes.)
First Half Stats at O’Neals
Here are the records, top scores, records, winning %, and winning streaks at O’Neals this year through June 30th. The Savage Ear is by far the most successful team this year, especially with Ivan the Trivial dropping out of contention. Lambda has good numbers, but merely used O’Neals as a warm up for Quizzo Bowl…they haven’t played since April. If L. Ron Hubbard continues to show up at O’Neals, however, I think they could start making a run at the Ear.
Midway Point Totals
Johnnie of the Duane’s World Crew is a man who loves numbers. I kind of like them too, so when he volunteered to keep track of quizzo winners and losers, I was all over it. He added up everything through the first six months of 2010, and I just plugged it into Google Docs. Today I’ll post several bars, and tomorrow I’ll post more. Enjoy! (I’ll have stats for the JGTSI up as soon as I hear back from Mike Minion about last week’s top finishers at the Westbury.)
