It was a quiet and subdued rainy Thursday, with 13 teams coming out to play trivia. In round one,
Drinkin’ and Thinkin’
came out thinkin’, taking 3rd place,
Jib & Tonic
was only a half point ahead in second, and the
Rotten Badgers
only a half point ahead of them, in first. By round two,
Drinkin’ and Thinkin’
were more focused on drinkin’ and they tanked.
Rotten Badgers
held on to take another trip to the podium with 3rd place,
ISmile’s
ringer showed up, so they took 2nd, and
Kindred Spirit
did the best, with 1st place. When all the dust settled, it was
ISmile
in 3rd, and
Rotten Badgers
and
Kindred Spirit
tied for the overall win. For everyone following the season results, we’re about halfway through, and
Jib & Tonic
is in 3rd, and
ISmile
and
Kindred Spirit
are locked in a tie for the lead. See you all on Thursday!
