WQL logoLast night the WQL hit the Bris­tol, where the quiz had the advan­tage of ever-so high tech com­put­er graph­ics on screen, and the oppor­tu­ni­ty to win an ice machine and waf­fle-mak­er in the jack­pot draw, but the dis­ad­van­tage of a quiz mas­ter who refused to pro­nounce ‘Quiz­ing­ton­ista’ prop­er­ly. Because we could­n’t book, the bar was stu­pid­ly full, but luck­i­ly Click­Suite are bol­shy enough to ask peo­ple to leave to give them tables. The Alo­has were wear­ing their leis again, but did­n’t get extra points for them this time. The M team almost lost points for try­ing to steal one of our play­ers (we swear that most of them were pure­ly orna­men­tal!) but escaped because it was love­ly to meet the Amer­i­cans for the first time. But you know, if I was­n’t so damn hubris­tic and full of myself, I’d be start­ing to wor­ry that I smell bad or some­thing because nei­ther Sil­ver­stripe nor Xero showed up for quiz last night. So we’ll award them 72 points each, and I will com­fort myself with the bar tabs that we keep win­ning.

Points so far:

  • Alo­has: 140
  • Click Suite: 144.5
  • M: 132
  • Sil­ver­stripe: 136
  • Quiz­ing­ton­ista: 179
  • Xero: 141

So it’s look­ing like a pret­ty close game right now, and any­one could take out sec­ond and third places…
