MARYLAND PLAYOFFS AND PUB CRAWL 2014!

Playoff 1 – Champion Billiards – MARYLAND

The day opened up with a 30 team bar trivia extravaganza at Champion Billiards in Frederick, MD. We had a bunch of Playoff crews and Pub Crawlers eyeballing invites and cash! And what a game we had! The overall TOP 3 came down to a 166 to 166 tie breaker for a $50 Bill and the first win of the day – which is always a big one in the Pub Crawl going into Game 2!  And the winners “moonwalked” on off with some cash and smiles…

PLAYOFF 2 – Jekyll and Hydes – Maryland

Our 2nd stop off the day was home of one of the best reuben sandwiches I’ve ever had – Jekyll and Hydes! After some good lunch eats, drinks and questions across town, it was time to rustle up some more feathers and get down to some more business at the J and H!

And business is what happened! This was a high scoring game held in two different rooms! And one of the playoff teams came in calling a win for WS! They certainly walked the walk today by winning Playoff #2 against 30+ teams! Great game everyone…GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL THIS SUNDAY AT WORLD SERIES 9!

PLAYOFF 3 – BELLES – MARYLAND

The fantastic Saturday sun was beginning to set as the finale of our Pub Crawl was about to begin at Belles. Again 30+ teams rolled on in to play our final Maryland Playoff and Pub Crawl Game! There was eating, there was certainly drinking; there was good ol’ fashioned smack talk, and there was even some very interesting “team logos” being drawn and passed around the bar! 

The Pub Crawl standings were close and could have gone any number of ways. The Playoff teams also mixed it up for a couple of hours. In the end, Belles’ hosted a pretty dern awesome bar trivia finale! Here’s how the third game went down…

VIRGINIA IS FOR LOVERS…(OF TRIVIA)

Congratulations to all of our Virginia teams who had at it on what turned out to be a beautiful day of fun and games. This was our first effort at holding two Playoffs in Va. And we’d like to thank both Ramparts and TJ Stones for bringing us in and lettiing us all do our thing. And also many thanks to all of the teams that played Sunday…we hope you enjoyed our game as much as we love hosting it for you. We also hope that you will join us in Hagerstown next Sunday for the Worlld Series of Trivia! WE NEED TO BRING A TROPHY HOME TO VIRGINIA BABY!

Ramparts Playoffs

We capped off a great season of Pour House Trivia with our Virginia playoff game at Ramparts Tavern in Alexandria on Sunday. There were 16 teams teams battling it out for $100 first prize, and more importantly, the chance to earn $2,000 more at next weekend’s World Series.

It was the first season of Pour House Trivia for Ramparting Ways, who had three wins during the regular season.  They came out of the gates with a near-perfect first half, topping 90 points at the break. They stretched that lead by being the ONLY team to name this year’s Indy 500 winner, and maintained a sizable advantage heading into the final. It was a tough question, but they were one of the handful of teams to come up with the correct response, and they took down the win! 
 
Our second place team was our Ramparts Season IX House Champions: We’re Not Porn Stars Anymore. They also hit the final question to earn second place. As of today, they are the only Virginia team with a Top Three finish at the PHT World Series, taking third place at World Series VI, and I’m sure they are hoping to improve on that result on June 8th. Third and fourth place went to two other well-deserving teams: Sorry Folks, Park’s Closed and Fat, Drunk, and Stupid. We’re hoping to see them represent the Old Dominion next weekend.
 
Thanks to all the teams that came to Ramparts on Sunday, it was a great season, and I can’t wait to see all of you in Hagerstown.

TJ STONES – Playoffs

Thanks to everyone for giving Bill and I a warm welcome for the Season 9 Playoffs at at TJ Stones in Alexandria, Matt told us you all are awesome folks!

We had a ton of fun as DRP, Fish Market, and the TJ players battled it out and jockeyed for slots in the upcoming World Series.

It was Virgins of Hagerstown: Thanks for Nothing that came out on top of the mayhem, walking away with a $100 cash prize!

Trivia Newton John made a game out of it with 2nd, and Gone Squatchin’ played a strong game for 3rd.

We are looking forward to seeing you all at the World Series, and wish you all the best!
