It's almost Christmas... and you know what that means! (No quiz December 15th)

It was an exciting night of trivia at the Grafton Ale House again on Thursday. The quiz saw a number of regular queeps back in action as well as some old veterans back in the fray.

Fat Guy in a little box, the quiz team formerly known as the J Plumbers and My Wife Shaved Her Legs & Wrecked 'Em were back after an all-too-long hiatus and took an admirable second place finish in the end...

Perhaps their return as a regular team for the early 2012 trivia league and re-assert their dominance in the Grafton trivia market!

Their near-perfect score of 48 points was only outdone by the even-nearer-perfect score of 49 from Pearl Necklace Productions...

Ultimately, with this being Quizmaster Ryan's last quiz before Christmas (there's no quiz next week - December 15th - and QM Ryan will be in London on the 22nd - a stand-in Quizmaster will host that night) it was a Christmas-inspired name that took the best team name gold.

The Christmas Queefs (cos we like how it sounds!) took $10 for their inventive name...

Yeah, Christmas, it's the best! ;)

The newbies walked out with a prize on their Quizmaster debut! Hope to see 'em back soon!

But, the QM also wanted to give a shout out to regulars ATM, Glory Hole... same thing (referencing the question about ATM's being called "a hole in the wall" in England), who came close once again to the team name prize...

Some of those ATM's can have ridiculous fees for sure!

As mentioned already, there will be no quiz on December 15th, although there will be a special Christmas edition of trivia on December 22nd at the Ale House. Hope to see all there!!

Until next time Milwaukee, drink while you think...

How the league works
Team scores over a predetermined number of weeks are accumulated in a table. The team with the highest cumulative score at the end of that period is crowned league champions and also wins an additional prize for its efforts.

Leagues vary in length, anywhere between 4-8 weeks. Each venue's league is independent of the next, as are the league prizes.

Your Team Name
During the league season it is advised that teams keep a consistent name from week-to-week in order for the Quizmaster to track scores. Teams playing under different names each week during a league will have their scores tallied separately.

Bye Weeks
Allowing flexibility, each venue grants so many bye weeks during its league. Under this rule, a team is allowed to miss so many weeks knowing they can still compete in the league. In the event that a team is present for the entire duration of the league their weakest scores are subtracted...

For example, over the course of an eight week league all team's are granted two bye weeks. If they miss two weeks they effectively score zero in their absence - but all team's will be judged on their six best results from the eight weeks of league play.

*Overall Score vs "Best Score"
The league table indicates each team's overall score and best score. Ultimately, the best score is all that matters as this score accounts for the bye week(s) allowed in the league. In some cases the overall score and best score may be the same depending on whether that team has missed a week (or more) of play.
