INTERESTING MOMENTS
One team was determined to come last, and was disappointed to get the first bonus question. (Don’t worry, they still came last.)
One team called themselves “am not coming last at trivia”… and then came last.
We had five teams within 2 points of first place at one venue, and the teams in 3rd & 4th both could have won if they had bet 5 on the gambler’s question like the first place team.
To answer a question on countries on the exact opposite side of the world from New Zealand, one player built a globe out of a napkin and then stabbed it.
And our quarterly tournament has wound up with Masterminds winning for the first time with a big effort and 11 wins out of 12 weeks.
