Quiz to Continue Next Monday (During Packers!) QM Cup Sunday!

One final reminder that Milwaukee's biggest pub trivia tournament, Quizmaster Cup VI, is this upcoming Sunday November 13th, and there are just a few spots left! Register now to reserve your team's table!...

Another quiz spectacular took place this past Monday at Caffrey's Pub on Marquette Campus, and all the quizzers came to win but only one team could take the top prize on the night. That team was Schindler's Quiz: I Could Have Answered More...

Great team name also, excellent reference to Oskar!

Taking the second place prize was the team known only as I'd Rather Slap My Ham Than Choke Your Chicken...

Special mention goes to Kitten Mittens who took QM Pete's gauntlet and answered the soccer question correctly, we actually thought nobody would know what Borrisia Dortmund's home kit looked like. Thus, the whole team earned themselves shots.

Billy the barback chose the best team name and gave it to the Milwaukee 69'ers...

And the shit show continues as ever next Monday - despite the Packers vs Vikings game, the show must go on (although the quiz will likely start about 30 minutes later)!

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

Monday November 7th 2011, Scores:

44 Schindler's Quiz: I Could Have Answered More.
43 I'd Rather Slap My Ham Than Choke Your Chicken.
40 Milwaukee 69'ers.
37 Kitten Mittens.

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.
