After one of the highest winning scores in BA Pub Quiz history in August, I wanted to make things a little trickier for the September quiz, and it would appear I overshot slightly as we ended up with probably one of (if not the) lowest. It might have been more difficult than expected, but September was wonderfully attended, with Cheese & Fernet retaining their crown and the Cat’s Whiskers improving significantly on last month’s showing to claim second place. Join us again in October – on the third Monday, as the second is a feriado – when the questions will be pitched a little more accessibly. I promise.
Team | Round 1 | Round 2 | Round 3 | Round 4 |
---|---|---|---|---|
If I’m Not Very Much Mistaken I’m 95% Sure We’re Cheese & Fernet | 9 | 27 | 34½ | 40½ |
Cat’s Whiskers | 9 | 29 | 33 | 39 |
Eyjafjallajökull | 8 | 27 | 31½ | 34½ |
Silver Tongues | 7 | 23 | 28½ | 32½ |
Brutal Deluxe | 5½ | 23½ | 28 | 31 |
Off With Our Bosses’ Heads | 5 | 20 | 23½ | 26½ |
Table One | 3 | 16 | 21½ | 25½ |
Quiz Busters | 7 | 18 | 20½ | 24½ |
Suck It, Trebek | 5 | 17 | 17 | 17 |
Quiz Busters had points deducted for playing with more than six players for a couple of rounds, while Suck It, Trebek had to leave at half time (possibly because delays on the B line of the Subte meant we kicked off rather later than we should have).
