Finally, after all this time without a win!

The winning team this week is Dumb & Dumber after a loooonnnngggg dry spell. Well done you two, despite the continual whining and moaning, it is good to see you get another win and a wee smile on your coupons.
We are getting busier every week so to make sure you get your regular table, book it a week in advance, see below for a link to the Cuddie Brae booking site.
Scoreboard
It was a challenging quiz this week with the scores not reaching the heady heights of previous nights. I think this must be the closest final scoreboard we have ever had. It was this way all the way through and we ended up with nine teams looking for the nearest answer to win on the night.
That privilege fell to Dumb & Dumber, jumping from 5th place.
When looking at the finishing positions it is easy to think that the better teams were outplayed by the generally weaker teams of late. However, have a look at the scores. Before the nearest wins question, we had nine teams in a 100 point range at the top. It has never been closer. The lead was changing with almost every question.
Poor Dipshits, you have been so close so many times recently and it was nicked from you on the last question, maybe next time!

Jackpot Games
There were no Jackpot winners this week again.
£22 was won on Take It Or Leave It by The Creepy Blinders. The Take It Or Leave It jackpot will be £78 at our next quiz.
Again there was no winner of Open The Box and this will continue at £465 next week.
Incorrect Answer, AGAIN?
For the second week in a row, there was a challenge to an answer to one of the quiz questions, as below.
Q. Starting with the earliest, put these ‘Call Of Duty video game instalments in order of when they were first released.
A. Modern Warfare 2007, Black Ops 2010, Ghosts 2013, WWII 2017
After doing some research, I found that this answer is correct, so no free 50 point reward this week.
See the next link for one of the sources confirming the accuracy of the answer given.

We had two new teams this week. Both started with the same points and both finished with the same points. It will be good to welcome both the Terrible Trio and Quizee Rascals back on another night. I think you enjoyed your evening, even though one of you was almost face down on the table.
Something to bear in mind is that the next time you play your starting handicap will increase, putting you further up the starting scoreboard.
