Big BallZ*, Ballpoint Pen Tips, Blues Brothers & Badly Behaved Birthday Boys - WQ#175

What The F?????

For the records - the start into season 14 was largely fun (glad to see old friends again and welcome nice new additions to our little quiz family) and interesting in terms of scores. WAY TO GO, BallZ*!!! - whence from here?

The only little downer - some people just couldn't play by the rules (despite prior assurances to the contrary). Maybe it did go over their heads a wee bit... But if the quiz was loud and unruly (at times), it was nothing compared to the après-quiz-party. Trying to nick people's beers, annoying the F out of staff and customers, leaving a pigsty behind, and ganging up on me, getting in my face telling me how SHIT a quiz it was - I think we've found a new low. Gotta love people who can't hold their drink.
Anyroad, it was the first and last time. Hope the uttered 'threat' (or promise) to never come back is still fresh in their minds (sic) when they wake up again.
We'll introduce new rules in the near future to prevent **** like that from ever happening again and look forward to enjoying what's left of season 14. 

That said - the rest of the teams, and the evening, were mondo fun. Always a pleasure, queops :D

Here are the points of the first game in Season 14, all still WIDE open though it looks as if BallZ* mean business this time round.

1. Cannonballs* 98,5
2. DAQ****** 95
3. Fietscherings**** 90
4. Amazing Graces* 79
5. Let's Get Quizzical 78,5
6. Das Große ? 75,5
7. Feid Club 69
8. 4-2-Won 64
9. Alice im Wunderland 59
10. Here for Beer 57
11. It's My Birthday 34,5

Alice im Wunderland have Yogi (deadline is Monday 9pm) and as announced a few times - WQ#176 is largely Ladies' Night. (8 March is International Women's Day). We will have a round on famous females, one 'girlie' round (gossip, fashion, chick flicks, maybe even a few boy bands ;) ) Music will be brought to you by DIVAS (from Queen B to the Queen of Soul and the Princess of Pop). The only secret as yet is the Yogi Round but I have a feeling Alices won't let us down :)

I'll be enjoying a few days in the sticks and return in time for next week's - hopefully smooooooooooooth - Wilde Women's Quiz.

Prediction of the week --> separate post :D

Have a good one y'all. See you soon.

Bonemine, Bruce Banner, better than Brazil, and 'bye bye' Blueberries - Ye Wilde Quiz Champions League Season 13 Final (or YWQCL13SF)

Well, that went ... well, what a final. Didn't go quite as planned, due to some people who just didn't get it and didn't really enjoy it either but hung around till the end nonetheless. Mostly fun though, some nice new teams who are welcome any time.. looking forward to seeing Oscar's Mild (or was the Oscar Smiled?) again on 5 March - you rock!

Congrats to old, and new, Championes DAQ****** (I'm running out of stars) - clearly deserved with 8 wins out of 12 this season. Better than Brazil now, and with a new Champions League record - 591 points!! .. almost broke through the 600 barrier. Also the only century break this season. Impressive, but where from here?

(word to the wise - those of you who were shouting 'langweilig' last night ;) - go and do something about it - Season 14 kicks off on 26 February :D )

Quizzicals had a mighty Endspurt but a tiny bit too late. Still - congrats on Vice Champions title, no mean feat .. I am looking forward to season 14 when you ATTACK DAQ!

Since Oscar's Mild won't be in for #165, no one has the Yogi for next week .. all mine, all mine.

For now just pic & CLS13 table, rest later today or at the weekend. Have a good one - see you soon.er or later :-)

WQ#174 - tut mir leid, wir sind schon voll

Heads up - WQ#174 tomorrow (19 Feb) is a SELL-OUT. We have absolutely NO tables left. Seems to be a popular thingie ;)

Also, there are only 3 tables left for WQ#176 on 5 March. Just saying.

If you have a table - see you tomorrow. It's gonna be FUN!

• Which team will win the Super Bowl? Welches Team wird den Super Bowl gewinnen?

Capacity crowd, mixed mythology, Blaues Wunder & no noise control - WQ#171

Greetings Queops!
Sorry 'bout the wait but I've had a busy week(end) ..

Quick round-up of WQ#171 then.. first 'full' full house in a while, even had to send people away. Downside of maximum crowd - noise & disciplinary issues (and don't get me started about the state some people leave their table in.. srsly, do you do that at home?!? The purpose of a beer mat is NOT being shredded and strewn all over the floor. If you're bored, leave.. or don't come in in the first place. If you need to keep your fingers busy - bring a Rubik's cube.... Rant over.) Anyroad, apologies again for the volume level, hasn't happened for a while, will be dealt with. Nice to never see some teams again.

So - on to the 'serious' stuff :D

WQ#171 was not exactly a high score game but good results throughout, and some teams made up ground on the finishing stretch. Quizzicals OHSOVERYNEARLY missed gold, and BRAZIL 'made' another beatable Streichergebnis for themselves... very clever ;)

1. DAQ***** 82
2. Let's Get Quizzical 81,5
3. Cannonballs* 73
4. Subvise 70,5
5. Fietscherings**** 64
6. Amazing Graces* 62,5
7. Edukators 58
8. Pünktchen & Arno 57
9. Sangria 51
10. 4-2-Won 49
11. Here for Beer & Nuts 46
12. Ben & The Bests 42
13. Glühwein 40,5
14. Lara & The Brains 38,5

Now there are 3 games left in this season and although the champions look pretty safe up on their perch, you never know. Also, we might introduce a wee 'consolation' prize for second. and that one is still very much up for grabs :D

Lara & The Brains haben Yogi-Recht. Brains, boys & girls - Ihr müßt mir bis heute 22 Uhr noch 2 andere Themenvorschläge schicken ;)

We have only 3 tables left for WQ#172 and if last week was any indication, it's gonna be full house again, if you want in, phone Oscar's asap. Most people only (try to) book their table on Thursday afternoon, that's a wee bit late.
Also, if you cancel please do it early, NOT JUST 5 MINUTED BEFORE KICK-OFF. I had to send away some 15 people last week.. every table is needed.. and nost just 8.15 pm.
Anyroad, looking forward to WQ#172 - Pünktchen & Arno's 1st anniversary - d'aaaaaw :D

I have a few fun ideas and questions and pictures already, let's see how it plays out.
