It was a ram-a-lammed at the Grafton Ale House last night, as the bar experienced it's busiest quiz night since 2009! Ninety (yes, 90) queeps were in the house, vying to get their hands on one of the three official prizes up for grabs.

Ultimately, it was the trivia stalwarts of Squad 666, that prevailed, as they topped the standings with 49 out of 51 points...

Shout out to @MadelineR21 and @Notorious_PLD.

Although they have the best overall score after four weeks of league play, they actually sit second in the standings after each team has had it's two "bye weeks" subtracted. Still a long way to go though!

Second on the night went to the outspoken To those who watched 'Touch' last night, who wanted Jack, I mean Kiefer Sutherland, to start calling for Chloe?, who may have some 24 fans on their team...

24: The Movie. You heard it here first.

Elsewhere, the Quizmaster had a little sing-song with Forever Blowing Bubbles, cause there's bubbles in the air. United, United! who were paying homage to the world's toughest football firm (that's a British word for gang, America)...

Anyone fancy a Chelsea smile?! We don't recommend it!

:-p

The coveted "people's prize" for best team name was, as ever, hotly contested. We'd like to give some honorable mentions to Fucking Tennis, Rush Limbaugh with the plastic bag in Cambodia. Clue bitch, Hugh Janus and I don't know how to put this but I'm kinda a big deal, who all had decent names.

But their were two finalists from among the bunch on the night...

Ultimately, the official team name prize ($10 y'all!) went to So Easy Even a Quizmaster Can Do It...

If by "easy" you mean rocket science, then fuck yes, you are correct.

That prize was determined after some back and forth chanting between them and team Why do people say "grow some balls?" Because balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna get tough grow a vagina! Those things take a pounding!, who had also put forth a valiant team name effort.

And because the Quizmaster is such a lovely bloke, he bought the lovely ladies of the aforementioned team a pitcher of beer (front right) out of the kindness of his own heart...

Yes, by the time we got round to taken their photo, the pitcher was already empty!

Our type of ladies! ;)

And snap, that's @Nalissa (bottom left!)

Quizness as usual next Thursday! Quiz Bowl is Sunday!

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.
