I see that [you guys won](http://www.quiznight.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=527) – unless someone else is quoting **Cervaise** ’s thread – and am I correct in figuring that you got a perfect score? And, more importantly, since I’d like to review it sometime, is it worth going back? (I’m assuming a win is a vote in their favor, but…) ---
**Author:** ![Cervaise](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/straightdope/user_avatar/boards.straightdope.com/cervaise/32/16693_2.png) [@Cervaise](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/Cervaise)\ **Post date:** [July 5, 2007, 2:58pm UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/seattle-pub-trivia-07-the-eye-of-the-tiger/386439/242 "2007-07-05T14:58:58Z")
We didn’t get a perfect score. Questions in the final round were worth two points each, rather than one, so 45 questions = 50 points. There was also a bonus point awarded for the “what’s the longest anyone can serve as president” question because the quizmaster thought it was difficult; we got it. We wound up with 45 out of 51. Regarding the quality of the experience: **Pro:** [ul][li]Good format.[_]Comfortable setting.[_]Much better food than our other regular venues. My spicy sausage sandwich was delicious.[_]We crushed the opposition, drove them before us, and heard the lamentations of their quiz-challenged brains.[/ul][/li] **Con:** [ul][li]We crushed the opposition, drove them before us, and heard the lamentations of their quiz-challenged brains, which is fun once in a while but could get old.[_]Parking’s a bit iffy.Biggest problem: there were very few teams, which meant (a) not a lot of competition and (b) small cash prize. Don’t know if this is typical or an artifact of nice weather plus day before holiday. Thing is, though, it’s kind of a small venue, so the low turnout was appropriate for the number of tables. Twice the teams and the place would be a zoo.[/ul][/li]So I’d say it’s worth going back at least once to see whether the impression above is consistent. If yes, then it’s a good occasional destination. ---

Assuming I don’t melt over the course of the day, I’m in for tonight. The better half of Laser Rocket Arms is hosting. Anyone else going to be there? ---

I’m a maybe – I didn’t get nearly enough sleep last night. And with the way the heat is supposed to go, I may not have any shoes that fit by the end of the day! So, we’ll see. ---

I’m a maybe also. The old sword coach wants practice before he goes to the Worlds, and I need to improve upon my 96th place finish at nationals…only 363 days to go! ---

My brother and I are in. We may even be able to get there early enough to get a decent table. No promises, though. 96th sounds pretty good to me. That means you’re better with a sword than 299,999,904 Americans. ---

I’m a probable. (My car has a tendency to choke in the heat, which could be a problem.) ---

[QUOTE=Cervaise] I’m a probable. (My car has a tendency to choke in the heat, which could be a problem.) [/QUOTE] Why, is it hot outside? :mad: [I’m not mad, just red-faced from the frickin’ heat!] My wife and I will probably be there. ---

I’m planning to be in Seattle late next week, so if you guys are doing Pub Quiz somewheres between the 26th and the 31st, I’ll try to make it. I think I might be of [some help](http://www.flickr.com/photos/troymccluresf/534317581/). 😃 ---

I’m in. What’s the alternative category, if not Washington State Correctional Regulations? (Which, properly modified, wouldn’t be a bad team name…) ---
