Almost a Perfect Score! New Quiz League Kicks Off!

It was a very bustlin' night of quizzin' at the Ale House's Grafton division this Thursday night, as the bar also kicked off it's latest trivia league on what was the first quiz of 2012!

And the quiz festivities for the new year got off to a rambunctious start, as those Squad 666 members aka Why is a Raven like a writing desk?, rolled into the new league with an oh-so-close-to-be-perfect-score of 50 points...

They insisted that they were only the sixth team in Quizmaster history to record a perfect score, but the quiz ended up being out of 51 points, no thanks to the Queen inability to visit the House of Commons. What a sucker... the Queen, that is!

The squad will be back to muster a perfect score next week!

Elsewhere, Grafton was graced by the presence of former league champions When you pull my Christmas cracker, stuff comes out too... who had on their Christmas Cracker party hats to take second place...

Will they return and make a surge to re-claim the league championship? It was certainly make it interesting if they did!?

And finally, the first best team name accolade of the year was another "chicks with Buscemi eyes" inspired one...

As the crew of One of the Olsen twins should just O.D. already so we can stop guessing which one probably guessed "Ashley Olsen," but at least it got them $10...

Yep, that'll buy you a whole pitcher of craft beer on a Thursday night!

And for those who don't know about "this whole league thingy-ma-jig," if you want to compete in the 8 week league, just show up most weeks and keep a regular name. If you change your team name, notify the Quizmaster so he can track your score! (More details in the sidebar --->)

Quiz is back next Thursday at 7pm!

Until next time Grafton, 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.
