Tight Match, But Again Third Place | Team Trivia DFW

What up folks?  So my team, Trivial Tangent has returned in a much stronger force than last week.   Along with Cynthia, Richard and myself, we were reinforced by Heather, Jason, Maggie, Mindy and Sarah.  We were up against two other veteran teams, Aged & Confused and The Lucky Kermits, plus a semi-new team, Fantastic Four.  We had the great pleasure to sit next to our rivals, Aged & Confused.  Kind of touchy, but cool.  

The first have was very, very close with most of the questions everyone got correct and we killed on the half time question which was on naming 4 movies that Tim Burton directed that didn't star Johnny Depp.  I, being a huge fan of Tim Burton (2nd in my all-time list of directors after Quinten Tarantino), I was able to come up with the four films.  Sweetness.  I may use that question for my own trivia game, Mental Turbulence.  The scores after the first half were:

34 Trivial Tangent
32 The Lucky Kermits
31 Aged & Confused
25 Fantastic Four


The second half continued the tight battle between the top three teams.  The Tangent felt they had some struggles, but after getting the scores before the final round, we learned that the others just about had the same struggles.  Those scores were:

59 The Lucky Kermits
57 Aged & Confused
56 Trivial Tangent
37 Fantastic Four

The final question didn't seem too tough, but pretty tricky.   We had to find out which two countries were on both of the following top ten lists; largest in area and the least densed population.  Every team got the answer wrong by only picking one of the two right answer.   The final scores were:

57 - The Lucky Kermits

42 - Aged & Confused

41 - Trivial Tangent

24 - Fantastic Four

It was a great matchup and we hope for another one next Monday.   Come on out and join us at J R Bentley's on Abrams in Arlington at 7 pm.

Not So Trivial Domination | Team Trivia DFW

So we come in, two weeks later we go into J R Bentley's Pub ready to battle in Play Team Trivia.   At first the Quizmaster was a bit nervous because it was just four veteran teams there and I think they want at least 5 teams participating.   We ended up with 6 teams and the game is on.  

The first half ended very tight with a 3 way tie:

25 Aged & Confused

25 Force of One

25 Trivial Tangent

16 Pokemon Stop

15 Catrice

00 Wilson

We got all four answers correct for the halftime question, then we jump to the second half and the game stayed pretty tight especially between two teams.  In the process we lost two teams and then the field was set for the final question.  

The scores before the final question were:

62 Aged & Confused

60 Trivial Tangent

50 Force of One

37 Pokemon Stop


The final question was presented and we decided to bet 7 points.  We got the question right and the final scores were as follows:

67 Trivial Tangent

62 Aged & Confused

50 Force of One

22 Pokemon Stop


That's right!  We got first place.  Pokemon Shop bet 15 points and got it wrong. Ages & Confused and Force of One bet nothing as we figured they would.  This makes our 3rd first place finish.  Pretty sweet.  

Onward to next week.   If any of you would like to participate in Team Trivia, check out www.playteamtrivia.com. You will get more information and the schedule of where and when.  Look it up and have fun.
