Season 4 Championship - May 9, 2022

5/4/2022

0 Comments

 
Other teams can play along but scoring will prioritize the top 8 teams.

NEW - Mulligans
Maybe mulligan is not the right word, because these are less a 're-do' and more a "we're really not sure but want to make sure we get a point".  Mulligan sounds way more fun than 'free pass'.

Each team will be granted a certain number of 'mulligans' that they can use for answers they do not know - perfect for answers where you have absolutely no idea. These cannot be doubled, but will get you a guaranteed point on normal answers where you'd otherwise be guessing or leaving a blank. 

The number of mulligans is determined based each team's season score. The score of the 8th place team is subtracted from all teams. Then a scale factor is determined such that the top team gets 6 points (1/2 of a perfect season score of 12). The other teams' scores (8th subtracted) are multiplied by that same scale factor and rounded to the nearest whole number. This results in a distribution between 6 and 0, with allocation per relative ranking of teams.
This formula seemed to result in a reasonable balance between granting a slight advantage to the top performing teams without giving away too many free points that it makes the end result a given (the max number of 5 being determined so the top team could have one per round) This is the first time we're trying this; if it sways the game too much, we'll re-evaluate for next season. But we're going to try it.

Seating
We would prefer all teams competing in the championship to sit in a visible area - either at the bar itself or on the main floor area of the bar. For this week only, any of the top teams can have a table reserved for them. If you would like a table reserved for your team, please message me on Instagram or send me an email.
Phones
Absolutely no phones out during play. If they're seen being used, even innocently, you're DQ'ed.
Watch your teammates - if anybody has attachment issues to their phone - take it from them! Don't get DQ'ed!
​

Prizes
Top team will get a take-home trophy, cash prize, and bragging rights by having an engraving added to the perpetual trophy. ​
Other prizes will be given for follow-up places.

Recap of July 12, 2021

7/13/2021

0 Comments

 
Tonight's game was a difficult one - to those who stuck it out to the end - you'll be rewarded next week.
Questions and Results
By the end, team A-Always B-Be C-Closing edged out The Yung Pervs by just one point. However, even with a 2nd place finish, The Yung Pervs improved their season score to reclaim 1st place for Season 3.

We're now 4 weeks in to Season 3, and there's still lots of time for your team to move up in the season standings. Remember, your 15 best scores count and your lowest scores get thrown out - so don't worry if you have an off week (or two!). The more you play, the more chance you have of optimizing your team score.

This night had a great turnout with 13 teams competing. There were several lead changes from round to round but ultimately, The Yung Pervs got their second win of Season 3.  See the questions and results.

We're only two weeks in to the season, so there's still lots of time for your team to move up in the season standings. Remember, your 15 best scores count and your lowest scores get thrown out - so don't worry if you have an off week (or two!). The more you play, the more chance you have of optimizing your team score.
