Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 22 September 2024

So for your team names this week, we want to know the last thing that made you feel old.

Chronic back pain.

Someone born the day I could legally drink can now legally drink.

I used to be younger than pro athletes. Now I’m older than all of them.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about a Jane Austen book, one player piped up and said “who is Jane Austen”. To which we responded “look, this question may not be for you.”

Our bonus round involved naming South American countries, and one Brazilian player pointed out that the bonus round was unfair in his favour… and then proceeded to get it wrong.

We asked about countries with stars on their flags, and one team said Japan, and we couldn’t really say they were wrong.

And there’s one week to go in our weekly tournament and it’s still close. There are four teams with a chance to win the top prize, and a few more in the running for the highest average prize.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 15 September 2024

Maybe you saw the Presidential debate. But even if you didn’t you probably heard the accusation that immigrants are eating cats and dogs.

For your team name this week, we want you to imagine you are in a political campaign, and come up with a more unhinged accusation. It doesn’t have to be real. In fact, it will be better if it’s definitely not real.

My opponent is actully a zombie

Dolphins have figured out mind control and if we don’t stop them they will start WW III

Cavemen are voting

Unicorns exist and are being used by the military

Any crazy accusation gets a bonus point.  No truth allowed.

Have an interesting week.

What sport has the most drug violations? Breakdancing according to one team. Well, it would explain Raygun.

And our quarterly tournament is as close as it can be. It’s a tie, broken only by the fact that Leader Housen has a higher maximum score. And in third place we have a team just four points behind.
