Trivia Finals

It has all come down to this. One more 4 hour trivia game left to determine which team is the smartest in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

This is the second time in the past 2 years that my group and I have made it to the finals. We did not do too well last year and we were looking to redeem ourselves.

The trivia league started in January and it took us this long to make it to the finals. We would meet up every Thursday at 9 at the Friday's restaurant and play for a couple of hours. We scored enough points to keep on advancing to the next round.

We had 2 teams that qualified in the finals, both teams were called Todd Scott after a fake id a friend used in high school, that had to meet at a Buffalo Wild Wings in Addison at 12:30. The final was supposed to start at 5 but the league had to change the time due to the Mavericks/Heat NBA Finals Game was going to start at 6.

My team consisted of Jamie, Boj, Jess, Mr Betik , and myself. For the first round we actually did extremely well. We landed in the 1st place position and tried as hard as we could to keep that sport during the second half of the game. Our other team was not doing so well. They were in 18th place out of 32 total teams. That Todd Scott Team consisted of Paul, Katie, Austin, Cale, and Peter.

The 2nd half of the game became extremely difficult for our team to hold on to the coveted 1st place slot. We slowly but surely lost our footing and moved to 8th place. It wasn't that bad because, during the second round, almost all of the teams drastically switched positions.

Overall, we came in 8th place out of 32 total teams that were playing in the finals. I was glad when the game ended because 4 hours of trivia is just too damn long. Also, the location was just too damn hot as well. We had the same problem with the Buffalo Wild Wings last year. About halfway through the finals, it started to get uncomfortably hot and there was nothing to do about it anyway.

Now all we have to do is prepare for next year's finals and hopefully we will dominate and keep a hold of the 1st place position for the entire game.
