Another huge quiz week took place at Caffrey's Pub on Marquette campus. Special guest and friend of QM Pete, Calum Mallace, a Scottish guy who just his past month became the first Marquette Soccer player to be drafted in Major League Soccer (by the new MLS expansion team the Montreal Impact), was on hand to pick the best team name and have some English/Scottish Braveheart related banter with QM Pete.

There could only be one winner though and it was Our Team Has 99 Problems And Two Of Them Are Bitches, a reference the Jay-Z tune that was played to a rousing reception on the night....

Second place went to Midwest Moderates, who were just two points behind the winners...

Special mentions go to Team Step Dad "We Beat You, You Hate Us!", Pete Calls His Weiner The Lionheart, Goonies Never Say Die, Braveheart Happened Get Over It, and Barbara Streisand, M.D.

But on the night Calum could only pick one team as best team name, and he chose I'm From Cleethorpes, I'm Basically A Scot...

Of course he did. Next week there may be more future MLS Superstars making appearances. We never know.

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.
