Team Trivia Night

So a couple months ago some of my coworkers started asking when we were going to have a trivia night. They know I play every week with the Hickmans so they wanted me to set something up.

So finally a couple weeks ago, I spoke to the quizmaster, Moses, who does our trivia night because he does trivia at other locations in the valley throughout the week. Turns out on Tuesdays he does trivia at a bar near our office. About two weeks ago I sent out an invite and sign up list to about 60-70 coworkers to create or join a trivia team. I ended up with four teams of eight players signing up!! Yeah, 32 people were interested!

Needless to say, I spoke to Moses last week and let him know about the size of our group. He gave me his email and asked me to email him with a final number the day of so he could make sure we had seating near each other.

So tonight was the night! I got to the bar an hour early to get the tables figured out and by the first round of trivia about 80% of our teams were there. I had four teammates - all of them coworkers, no Hickmans. At the end of the first round our teams got 8/10 questions correct but none of us won. Round two, one of our teams got into the tiebreaker and won (not my team, which by now had 8 members with Joe and Michaela and Casey Green, and others). Round three, two of our teams got to the tiebreaker (not mine) and one of them won. Round four, none of our teams won...that's right, my team didn't win.

Obviously that was a fluke, so we will have to do another trivia night sometime soon :). Actually, one of our winning teams had three people with/ or getting doctorate degrees so I don't feel so bad.

I am just glad that I work with so many nerdy people...it was a huge success! I will be happy to get back to the Hickmans though :)
