Quiz Update

Quiz Update

Amidst the seismic geopolitical upheavals the world is experiencing, none is more attentively watched than the NYC Quiz leaderboard. Worldwide media exploded to the news that T.B.M. finally prevailed over the establishment bastions that are Wizard. A tense engagement between many teams throughout Wednesday night saw no less than four teams tied for the lead ahead of the last round. The Motor Buoys and The Dirty Ruckers cracked, but held on to tie for third place. Wizard held firm, but a stronger effort from perennial runners-up T.B.M. to get a perfect final round saw them gain the spoils. Old glories Enchantress and Corner Boys finished in behind.

 

The result allows Wizard to look down on all from the top of the overall leaderboard, followed by T.B.M. and the Corner Boys. Chancellors and Quiztopher Columbus sit in a healthy fifth. With poor results still able to be discounted all teams have a chance of occupying these places in the weeks ahead. Echoing the language of TOTP, Motor Buoys climb six places to number 11.

 

The Christmas Dinner Quiz will take place in two weeks’ time, on the 17th December. Dinner will be at 7.00 for 7.30, with the quiz starting at 8.30. All are welcome.
