Glass Half Full Austin

HUMANS!

"Air Bud Dwyer" in Dallas/Fort Worth is a portrait of perfection. This week they even had a Perfect Game here at Glass Half Full Dallas / Fort Worth, and no, it's not their first. We missed them at Geek Bowl this weekend! Still, though - Perfect Game!

Almost perfect were your team names last week. You're all washing your hands a lot, I see.

Aside from the Perfect Game that I mentioned above, this week was all about Chicago. It's no joke that the host city always does well the week up to Geek Bowl XIV: America's Biggest Trivia Night! Top five in the Metro areas. Top two in the venues. Top team - AND a team from Chicago won Geek Bowl this year! I'm going to choose to believe that is no coincidence.

Greetings, Applicants! Please fill out Monday's scores in triplicate.

-- The week preceding Geek Bowl XIV: America's Biggest Trivia Night! has statistically had some high scores, but a Perfect Game? I'd have to review the tapes for that. "Air Bud Dwyer" added one this week for 96 pts. for Glass Half Full Dallas / Fort Worth. "Pete's Out Again" wasn't far back with 95 pts. for Stonecloud Brewing Company. "Preloading for Stupor Tuesday" also came close with 94 pts. for Fuzzy's Taco Shop. Monday, you hot!

-- Top venue average came from NONE of those teams above, and we had a tie! Glass Half Full Austin (Lakeline) and O'Niell's Heights maintained 89.00 pts. each.

-- Joker usage was almost split down the middle on Monday with 500 teams in either Round Two (Damn, I Wish I Was Your Cover) or Round Eight. An average of 11.24 pts. in that Round Two, though - music to my audio sensors!

Until next time, humans!

HUMANS!

I guess when you name your team "Ni**le Confusion", you'd be expected to have a team photo that delivers. I think this duo nailed it at Red Horn Coffee House and Brewing Co. in Cedar Park, TX. Date night got weird - or at least really interesting, huh? Let's hope those side effects clear up in a few days.

The side effects from your teams names may last for more than a few Quizzes. Please consult your physician.

There was a ton of Austin this week, and Anaheim stuck in figuring is shared a few letters, I guess. The team rankings flanked the entire country, but yeah, the venues were mostly Austin. The explains the almost 3 pt. spread over the Metro areas. But are you going to bring it THIS COMING WEEKEND, Austin?

Greetings, Separatists! Monday's scores have been breached! Abandon ship!

"Play Missed One for Me" missed NONE at Base Camp Brewing Company with 96 pts., too. It's uncanny, really.

LET'S DO THE NUMBERS

I'd be lying if I said this was a "normal" week for the stats. It was anything but. This'd be a good time to remind y'all that the scores below are always curved depending on how easy/hard the Quiz was compared to other nights of the week. Let's just put that front and center.

Last week saw SIX PERFECT GAMES (96 pts. of 96 pts.). As you can surmise, those two nights (Tuesday and Wednesday) had very, very high averages. Tuesday even more so than Wednesday! Should that detract from how incredible a Perfect Game is? Not one bit! Getting every single point is still pretty amazing! Since you won't see most of these names below because of the info above, let's still celebrate them!

The Isotopes of Hi-Dive Lounge
The Solid Gold Answers from Little Woodrow's Parmer Lane
