Quizzin' for a Livin'....

Trivia night started late this past Monday at Caffrey's Pub on Marquette campus, as the Packers game ran into quiz time. That didn't stop the quizzers from getting involved. The winners on the night were the impressive Ling Ling & The White Condiments, who scored an impressive 44 points...

Second place went to quiz regulars Jerry Sandusky Presents Marquette Elementary School Quiz night...

A special mention goes to both Weeping Priests, and 420 All Day Everyday who both just missed out on the best team name prize. Billy the barback chose Quizzin' & Jizzin' as his best team name...

Next week the quiz will be in Spanish.

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

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.
