Box Robots, Box!! (Quiz Bowl Sunday Jan 29th!)

Just a brief reminder that Quiz Bowl II, Milwaukee's sports and pop culture triva tournament is next Sunday January 29th! Register your team now!

Fanatics playas got a little quizzing and some robot boxing for their money on Wednesday night....now that is entertainment value!

Apparently this is an inside joke that Quizmaster HQ doesn't quite get! Fanatics finest understand, or so we're told!

Kevin B. was also back in the fray to quiz on the Third Ward's finest!

Two new teams got their Quiz on as Team Schlinke and The Magician's Alliance finished 6th and 5th respectively.

There were impressively high scores all round with first and second split by just one point.

Chomp My Gobstopper appeared from nowhere and finished with 57 points to take second.

Absolutely smashing top spot with 58 points was Will You SOPA My PIPA? who took home the big prize!

Nice work on the team photo! Quizmaster's thinking of introducing a "photo of the month" contest in the near future?! Watch this space!

Next week Kevin will host the quiz while wearing women's jeans.

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.
