We had another nice crowd on Tuesday night at The Mad Hatter, on a day when it rained early, but fortunately the skies cleared and it brought some folks out.
The scores were strong for States' Largest City Trivia (it was the only round that featured any perfect scores all night) and it was close heading into IQ Trivia, with the top three teams separated by one point. But the team of Do I Really Have To Give My Vermeer Back? got 4 of the 5 correct in the round, and wound up winning by five points, with a total of 46 points. Second place went to Blue Barracudas with 41 points, and third place went to Women's College Basketball with 37 points.
