It was the final quiz of 2011 and the trivia league finale at the Milwaukee Ale House in Grafton this past Thursday night.

And Quizmaster Ryan returned from his Christmas stay in London to hold down the fort in the biggest trivia show down of the season, as 17 teams, and over 70 queeps, locked horns to take one of five prizes on offer.

Ultimately, it was the perennial trivia powerhouse that is Random Answers who's class shone through after the 8 weeks of league play, as they clinched their fourth championship by 9pm that night...

Their almost-perfect score of 49 was the icing on the fairy-cake in the end!

Second spot in the league went to regulars Blowing Bubbles, Dreaming Dreams, Scheming Schemes, who got some lovely Ted Baker body spray and shower gel as a belated Christmas present, courtesy of your fabulous Quizmaster...

And because no one team can win multiple prizes, that meant that Grafton stalwarts Squad 666 took the de-facto first place tab on the night...

They would finish in an honorable third place in the league, and we look forward to seeing them in 2012!

But the big drama on the night came as The Golden Snatches and Herpe New Year Ryan Braun would go head-to-head in a sudden death showdown to determine the night's second place spot, although ultimately it was the latter that walked away with the money...

Don't fear, that wasn't their full team (they only had 8 players during the quiz!)

And finally, the last people's prize of the year went to Edmond is a Douche Bag, who swallowed up the best team name prize after echoing the Quizmaster's sentiments about Narnia's crappiest young king...

Just give the kid some Turkish Delight, turn him to stone and be fuckin' done with it.

Our thoughts exactly.

The show continues with a fresh trivia league next year.... And by next year of course we mean next week!

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.
