Mummy's on the Loose! (Grab your QM Cup Spot NOW!)

Just another heads up that Quizmaster Cup VI is next Sunday November 13th, and spots are limited! Register now to reserve your team's table!...

Another quiz extravaganza took place this Monday at Caffrey's Pub on Marquette Campus. QM Pete was on hand to bring the Halloween funk. But the winners on the night referenced sex rather than Halloween in their team name; To Spice Up My Sex Life, I Pretend My Hand Is Saying No, they scored an impressive 44 points....

Second place was taken by a team known as The Milwaukee 69ers....

Special mention goes out to We Banged Pete's Mummy, for the reference to Halloween and the English term for mom (mum). Best team name as chosen by Billy The Barback was a Kim Kardashian marriage reference paired with the sentiment of Occupy Hollywood; Kim Kardashian Made Approx $10,000 For Every Hour She Was Married. Occupy Hollywood...

Next week the quiz will be entirely French, in every way.

Until next time Milwaukee, drink while you think...

Monday 31st October 2011, Scores:

44 To Spice Up My Sex Life, I Pretend My Hand Is Saying No.
43 The Milwaukee 69ers.
42 Too Bad Those Car Bombs Weren't Irish.

35 To Honor: If You Can't Come In Her, Come On Her.

How the league works
Team scores over a predetermined number of weeks are accumulated in a table. The team with the highest cumulative score at the end of that period is crowned league champions and also wins an additional prize for its efforts.

Leagues vary in length, anywhere between 4-8 weeks. Each venue's league is independent of the next, as are the league prizes.

Your Team Name
During the league season it is advised that teams keep a consistent name from week-to-week in order for the Quizmaster to track scores. Teams playing under different names each week during a league will have their scores tallied separately.

Bye Weeks
Allowing flexibility, each venue grants so many bye weeks during its league. Under this rule, a team is allowed to miss so many weeks knowing they can still compete in the league. In the event that a team is present for the entire duration of the league their weakest scores are subtracted...

For example, over the course of an eight week league all team's are granted two bye weeks. If they miss two weeks they effectively score zero in their absence - but all team's will be judged on their six best results from the eight weeks of league play.

*Overall Score vs "Best Score"
The league table indicates each team's overall score and best score. Ultimately, the best score is all that matters as this score accounts for the bye week(s) allowed in the league. In some cases the overall score and best score may be the same depending on whether that team has missed a week (or more) of play.
