(Quiz)Masters of the Universe! Quiz Bowl Sunday!

A final reminder that Quiz Bowl II, Milwaukee's sports and pop culture trivia tournament is this upcoming Sunday January 29th! Register your team now!

It was mind-bending night of quizzin' at the Ale House for its weekly trivia showdown this past Monday.

The usual group of Third Ward queeps converged to take on the Quizmaster and win some moolah, although in the end it was the recently-dominant trivia force of Everybody hurts from yesterday's drinking! that took top honors for the second week running, and they will once again grace the table cloth at next's week quiz.

And although their team name was incorrectly omitted from the league table, after back tracking some scores they now also sit top of the league after three weeks! Will a new champ be crowned come February 27th??!?!

Elsewhere, it was the crew of Text and Drive that finished second, and they teamed up with the lovely ladies of The Ineffectual Eyes of Newt for a post-quiz pic...

Good to see the latter back after a brief holiday hiatus!

And of course, the best team name went to the familiar faces of He-Man: Proving that UGGs have been uncool since the beginning of time...

Great effort of 45 points from the two-person duo as well!

Yep, check out those bad boys!!...

He also proves that Speedos are only socially acceptable in certain Eastern European countries.

Shiiiiiittt.

The show rolls on Monday! Sign up for Quiz Bowl II for this Sunday if you haven't done so yet!

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.
