26 December 2011

It was an extra special week at the Ale House as Santa not only brought a Christmas themed trivia challenge but a guest Quizmaster as well. Man, that Santa is a swell dude.

There was almost a riot over Reverend Green Vs Mister Green and it was decided that since this is America, we'd use the American version of the game of Clue. We take Clue very seriously on this side of the pond, so don't fuck with us, or we'll send Mister Green over to beat someone's ass.

12 teams battled it out for the grand prize of my respect and the significantly less valuable Ale House tabs and ties were rampant as everyone stepped up their games. There were 7 total teams who were tied at some level of the competition, so every correct answer was valuable and needed.

The one man team Vas Deferens: A Tube Of Knowledge put up a competitive 23 and offered up some quality ideas on how to reduce possible cheating, they mostly involved kicking everyone out but himself, which would be an effective tactic for winning but not so great for repeat players.

Team My Wife Can't Wrestle but you Should See Her Box came in at 9th on 33 points, and while they just missed out on the top of the table, they were the crowd favorite and took home "Best team name" and all the accolades that come with that title. Well done gents.

Team We're All Getting Drunk Tonight….. Expect for the Pregnant People aka "the biggest trivia team ever" were a strong example of quality verses quantity coming in at 8th with 38 points, however, they were correct that New York is, in fact, not a town.

There was a massive 3 way (tie) for 7th place with Dirty Elves Toast Chests and Nuts, Dammit! Danube Waluigi…, and The Team Formerly Know As…. all scoring a respectable 41 points. However it just wasn't enough to overtake the leaders. Special shout out to Dirty Elves because I dig your team name, well played.

Moving into the top five, Dix n' Chix edged out of 7th by one point with 42 and once again proved that anything is cool with an "x"

The was another tie at 4th place with both Squad 666 and Santa and his Ho Ho Hoes on 43, a team cage match as suggested as a means to separate the two teams but due to time constraints, this idea had to be scraped, it's a shame…

Team Call 911! We got Sanduskied! missed out on the money by just one point on 45 which is really too bad because they could have used that money to pay for all the therapy they're going to need. Hit the showers, chaps… wait…. never mind…. maybe skip the showers this week.

Continuing with our theme of ties for the week, the top two spots were highly contested by Luckily, My Employer has no Herpes Test...

...both scoring a massive 46 points. We had to go to the tie breaker the settle this one and Random Answers showed that they were the best at randomly guessing the date of the opening of the first drive in movie theater, or maybe they had a team member who was actually there, you never know. Well done kids. Team Herpes Test… about last night, you should probably get tested...

Good Luck next week in the League Finale! Ryan returns to host!

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.
