Last week we had Astrology, this week we started off with bonus questions about the months of the year. What was the month Quintilus renamed to? What month is named after a purification ritual? All this and more coming to our teams in game 1.
Game 1:
Sometimes it is better to be cold than hot! We found this out after 2 rounds into our first game as Tequila is better cold took a 2-point lead over Dimetore Drinkers, No Folk and Chance and Hot Tequila. Wolf Pack and Morning After Pilsner were in the mix as well, just 4 points out of 1st and 2 points out of 2nd. As we have seen though, it is sometimes better if you do not have the lead going into the final round. How would Tequila is better cold handle the stress?
Round 3 we had 3 of the top 4 teams net 4 points, leaving an opening. Who would take advantage? None other than Dimestore Drinkers who got an amazing 8 points in the final round, 6 bonus points out of 6 and the win with 25 points. No Folk and Chance played well but were just out of the top 2 by 2 points. What better ending to the game than a tie between bitter rivals – Hot Tequila vs. Tequila is better cold! A single question, a guess of 55 and a guess of 156 we had our winner. I mean what a great question to end the game on: “To the nearest imperial gallon, how much wine is in a buttload?” Congrats to Hot Tequila on taking 2nd place!
Amazing start to the night!
1st place Game 1 – Dimestore Drinkers
2nd place Game 1 – Hot Tequila
Game 2: Bonus questions – Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Another game, who would come out on top? Game 2 round 1 we had a new leader – JSG (Just sniffing Glue) sitting in 1st place but rounding the corner and headed their way was: Rounding 2nd base, Dimestore Drinkers, No Folk and Chance and the Floridians! Hot Tequila was still basking in the glory of their win and had a rough start with just 3 points in the 1st round.
Round 2 we would see a little shake of the tree and some teams would fall out. Dimestore Drinkers stayed the path and held on with another 5 points in round 2. The Floridians and No Folk and Chance were just 1 point behind, tied for 2nd at 9 points. Tequila is better cold, sitting on the patio, froze in round 2 with just 2 points.
Round 3 would be a make-or-break round. One team took 7 points, another took 8 points and 1 team took an amazing 10 points in round 3! From 5th to 2nd all the teams had a 1-point lead on the position below them. It was a great ending to a great night before the Holiday! Thanks to their ringers, in town from Austin, Dimestore Drinkers, with their 8 points took a 3-point lead and another win! Way to go! Not wanting a tie, Hot Tequila took 2nd place thanks to their 10-point round! They edged out JSG by a single point. Such a close game!
Congrats to our winners!
1st place Game 1 – Dimestore Drinkers
2nd place Game 1 – Hot Tequila
