Editor’s note: This post will take a look back at the Summer/Fall 2019 Sporcle Live trivia season – in particular, my team’s scores at all of the “regulation” games. It will be updated periodically until the season completes in November, 2019. To view our “stats” for the first half of the year, check out this other blog.

Just to avoid confusion, this post will take a “deeper” look at our trivia games than the Captain’s Log.

Sporcle Live announced some big changes for their pub trivia leagues in December, 2018. Teams playing at bars/restaurants every week would have only the highest 12 scores out of a maximum of 21 scores count – which means the lowest scores would get thrown out. Teams finishing at the top of the heap at the end would have first “grab” at RSVPs (on day one) for the semifinal games, and teams playing 15 games or more at any combination of bars/restaurants throughout the season would have “second pick” on the next day and teams playing at least seven games would be able to RSVP on the third day. For more information, visit their web site here

We’re did trivia a bit differently in the second half of 2019 than we did in the first half. We’re played more “for reals” this time, and though we earned a semifinal spot by finishing second (ugh that’s like kissing your brother), we opted not to play semifinals.
