How would you like a chance to test your trivia skills against some of the top trivia teams in the Capital District – and earn some money in the process? Tonight (Wednesday, May 4th) is the 4th Annual Relay For Life benefit trivia night at the North Albany Post on North First Street in Albany.…

I’m sorta getting the feeling that qualifying for this tournament is easier than calling a two-headed coin flip. Look at the standings. The top eight teams can get into the contest. So far, only seven teams have actually earned points. That could leave a team who walks into the bar one evening, discovers there’s a…

So I’m sitting at the bar at Elbo Room tonight. My team is just me tonight; Jeremy and Alexis are in Florida, both seeing who can get more suntanned without getting completely roasted. While I’m waiting for General James to ask the first round of questions, I start thinking about all the teammates I’ve had…

Unfortunately, due to a previous commitment, I wasn’t able to get to the Elbo Room for trivia last night, and Jeremy and Alexis couldn’t make it either.  So thankfully General James gave me the updates on who picked up the points, so we can go from there.

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,…

I don’t know what keeps me coming back to TGI Friday’s in Stuyvesant Plaza for team trivia.  Every time I bring myself to go there, it’s a new setup.  Two years ago, it was a game where the questions were pulled out of a Trivial Pursuit box and the host / waitress would go around…

Playing competitive team trivia means that you have to be receptive to any possible answer at any time. Even if you think you know the answer, it could actually lead to a different response when applied. Does that make sense? Probably not. Unless you heard the final question last night at Elbo Room.
