Hey Trivia Teams!
If you are curious, Standings have been updated through Monday and Tuesday’s trivia nights. We are just waiting on the scores for Fools Gold in the downtown division. There were some really fun developments and a few potential heartbreakers. Moist Ointment lost for the first time all season at their home bar while reigning champ We Drink and We Know Things (Manhattan) utilized the score replacement opportunity on Sunday and moved up to a tie for first. Jaime Dodgers had a huge night at Alewife and moved up to #5 in Queens (previously were on the outside at #7). Queens looks to be the division that is most likely to come down to the wire as Foxy Brown for Congress didn’t play last night but still have an open slot for Week 8. Halseys and Sunswick teams are looming as well. There may also be some movement in the Uptown division as Grill On the Hill happens tonight.
A few reminders:
November 5th Finals
Finals are November 5th at Flatiron Hall, starting at 6:00. We are taking the top 6 teams in each divison. If one of those teams can’t make it, the next team in the overall ranking will get an invitation. So the current #1 alternate is The Blue Shells.
- If you are currently a qualifying team, please let me know if you plan on coming
- We will strictly enforce the roster cap of 6 at finals
- Finals will be 8 rounds, Bonus points will be awarded based on your divisional standings
- Winner of the Finals will be the official Season 30 Champion
