Someone wearing an LA Dodgers jacket got a question on the LA Dodgers wrong.
As a rule, we ask you to write down answers to bonus questions, rather than just yelling it out. One new player’s first guess was “dog”, but we reminded the whole room that you have to write it down. It was a good 30 seconds before anyone wrote down the word “dog”.

And our next quarterly tournament is underway. Remember if you want to have your score recorded to use a consistent team name for tournament purposes in addition to your weekly team name fitting the theme.
