Due to the fact that I had something scheduled today – which precluded my going to the Elbo Room last night – and my teammates not being able to attend either, we did not participate in the game Thursday. Thankfully, host General James provided me with the winning results; Team Schooled won for the night, the Poisons picked up three more points for second place, and the Skidmarks garnered a point for third place.
So here’s the standings after three weeks. The top eight teams are listed above the “CUT LINE”; if the tournament ended today, those would be the eight teams that can play in the championship round. Any team with a star in the box marked “Finals” has mathematically qualified for the money round, no matter how they do for the rest of the tournament.
| Trivia Team | Points | Totals | FINALS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Get That Poison Out | 3 | 9 | |
| T-2 | Schooled | 5 | 5 | |
| T-2 | Stern Fans | 5 | ||
| T-4 | Street Academy | 3 | ||
| T-4 | Woo Hoo a Go Go | 3 | ||
| 6 | Skidmarks | 1 | 2 |
And only the top eight teams will make it into the final tournament round on May 26, 2011. Any team in ninth place or below will not make the cut. So teams now have to keep playing and avoid the dreaded cut line.
Three weeks down. Ten weeks to go.
