And it’s not between Star Trek and Star Wars. It’s between the only two teams who played at the Eastlake Zoo Tavern tonight (and many other nights at the Zoo as well): The Naughty Nerds and (renamining themselves weekly) Three White Banditos and a Token Asian. They stayed within 10 points of each other the [...]

I was born in 1990.  So, I must admit, the first 3-4 years of the 90′s are a little fuzzy.  Fortunately, I was not playing tonight’s quiz, so I didn’t have to rustle up memories from before I could walk!   Scores were incredibly tight going into the final round, with only 50 points separating [...]

What a SUPER quiz we had last night! Get it? Get it? Because the quiz was about superheroes. All puns aside, it was a fantastic quiz. Quite a few teams showed up at Shanahan’s to test their comic book wits. And after the first round we had a three way tie for fourth and a [...]

It was a very challenging night indeed. With four teams competing for trivia supremacy and a collection of quite interesting britcom questions, how could it be any different? It was a close game the entire night, with three of the teams exchanging the lead, each one never more than ten points ahead. But in the [...]

It is always an interesting evening whenever the San Jose Sharks are playing a home game. The quiz is about an hour later, the people who play are always dressed for the game, and people are a lot more enthusiastic about their correct answers. This week was the first Pub Quiz for many of the [...]

…. Mark Thiel for his self-titled role in this week’s Academy Awards themed Quiz. This is Mark’s second Academy Award for Best Performance by a Trivia Master, and his victory there happening a couple months ago. After a couple of rough performances, Mark has defied all odds and is now a one-man team that has [...]

It was one of the busiest night’s I’ve ever had at Big Time Brewing Company and a lot of new teams were here to try it out! We clearly had some football fans in attendance- I must admit I know nothing of the sport and was impressed by the knowledge on display.  Or, perhaps, the [...]

  This was by far the closest match that I have ever witnessed. Two teams, the Ice Cream Socialist Party and the Village Idiots, were less than 5 points apart when the final question came around. But all the teams came with their A game. For the final question, this week many of the teams [...]

It never ceases to amaze me how some teams do not trust their own abilities. Three of the teams tonight had mentioned that they did not think they had a chance to win the trivia. I should mention that these three teams were the top placing teams. I must say, that it is always a [...]

It was another eventful evening of trivia at the Britannia Arms in downtown San Jose, where the Shock Top beer flowed like nectar from the gods. All the teams came prepared and ready to flex their Bond knowledge, and drink their vodka martinis (shaken, not stirred). While the Village Idiots held the lead for almost [...]
