Damn! If I had seen this thread earlier I might have dragged my ass to TimeOut to play Wednesday night!
Good luck to Walsh's and everybody else still in it.

Wow. I can't believe we won. We had one really crappy night (I wasn't even there, so I guess that makes us even). Oh well. Fortunes of war and that sort of thing.

Time Out finished 4th in Week 1, but had no score at all Weeks 2 and 3. They're essentially out of the real competition now. If they'd only had five players either of those nights, or even four with a great score, they'd still have a shot at the real contest.

What I wouldn't give to have five players! That was me and my 14 year old daughter playing in Week 1.
I was out of town Week 2 and out of town again this week so I figured we didn't have much of a chance of finishing in the top ten.

Still, a fourth-place finish is quite impressive with just the two of you. I can relate, though. We've had a similar disadvantage. Week 1 was just two people. Weeks 2 and 3 were three people each. Hopefully, tonight we up to five (maybe), but I am bracing myself for the likelihood that it'll be under the gun, like usual.

Congratulations to the Concert Pub for a victory not altogether foregone. The ad hoc group at B-52 dropped enough questions over the past seven weeks to establish, to my own satisfaction at least, that we are not elite. Yet through some combination bribery, extortion, arson, racketeering and malice aforethought (but not by googling answers - what kind of cheap hoods do you take us for?), we snuck into the finals, where we were laid low by the distinction between camels and bison, our top five playmakers dropping an average of 4,500 points on that question. Justice will out in the end.

Congratulations should be extended to Heroes, Teasers and Sinclair's Cloverdale for exemplary breadth of knowledge, and for hauling down that swag which somehow is not transportable across the Canadian border. Does anyone else think it extraordinary that Buzztime can't extend prizes for skill, rather than luck, to its clients and end-users in the Commonwealth? Here in the states, we owe a never-to-be-forgotten debt of gratitude to Canada for helping to break Prohibition. What thanks from Buzztime?

All the more reason to applaud Whales for getting his hands dirty in hosting this enterprise. Apart from the bad graphics, Buzztime's scrimpy results page excluded the Canadian sites, obligating him to dig up, site by individual site, the results from all the prominent Canadian players, too numerous to count. Whales has proven once again that, while Buzztime sets the rules, it's the players who make it worthwhile.

Well played, Concert Pub! I confidently speak for all the members of Team Gopher, that it's better to have bragging rights on this forum than to receive yet another unfashionable t-shirt.


GOPHER (JohnL from the Brain Trust at Wild Bill's, formerly of DeMori's), DOTCOM (Karen) and JOE (Tom) from the Tuesday players at the Tailgate, OGEDEI (Craig) and TEMUJN (Mike) from the Golden Horde, KRISPY (Kris) for local texture, and yours truly, GONE D, streetsweeper pro tem in the village of Mouse Hollow

Had Buzztime's own tournament been system-wide rather than nationwide, the final win / place / show:

Heroes 65,575
Big Guys 65,425
Teasers 65,253

Big Guys was led by the admirable POX, with a 65.6.
