Update: The new trivia team

I used to post regularly about the trivia challenges and tournaments my wife and I entered. Previously, we played as a couple against other teams that had between 4 and 10 players, and we did pretty well. We won several nights, and at least did respectably on the other nights.

Last Fall, we entered a semester-long tournament at Shakey's Pizza, and finally developed an honest-to-God TEAM that consisted of one friend of ours, plus threee friends of his. Two of his friends were nerdy and geeky, but the other guy was awesome. He knew tons of shit, but had the alarming habit of arguing relentlessy about each question. Although we did remarkably well with him, it ended up not being worth it, and we booted him off the team before the start of the Spring tournament. We lost that tournament, but had lots more fun without him.

In the summer, the tournament was suspended, and we saw our team numbers dwindle back down to three people. I identified another team that had also done well at the beginning of the summer, but had suffered terrible attrition down to three people. Therefore, two weeks prior to the start of the Fall tournament, I approached their team with the offer of a merger into a Super Team, and they agreed.

We now call ourselves "The Justice League" and we are unbeatable. We have won every single night since the tournament began, and all the other teams HATE us openly.

Cool.
