It's Shark Week (but only for one category)...

Here's your hint - do a little reading. An announcement regarding the Tournament of Champions will be made tonight.

Hope to see you all there!

Hint for 7/23...

Sorry so late but apparently Blogger was down for several hours today.

Regardless, it's another vague hint anyway!

All I have to say is that I love fast food. No matter where I get it, whether it be BK, McD's, Wendys or Arbys, I always get the small fries. I know all about the nutrition they give me - though it's not the calories I keep an eye on...it's something else.

Vague hint for this week...

Hello all. As you know, the Home Run Derby took place this week. So, my hint to you is...learn everything you can about home runs in the 2008 season.

As for tonight's prize...

1st Place will be 4 dugout box seats and a reserved parking pass for the July 24th Royals game against the 2nd place (barely) Tampa Bay Devil Rays. These seats are on the aisle and only about 15 rows back from the dugout!!!

Another note...In August, we will have a few pairs of Chiefs pre-season tickets being given away. Each ticket has an $85 face value!

That's all for now. See you tonight.

Hint for this week...

Sorry for the late clue this week. I've been working on a spreadsheet at work that has kept me busy. If only I knew the functions that could a) Count the number of cells in a range that are not empty; b) Return the day of the month, a number from 1 to 31; c) Return the largest value in a set of values; and d) Join several strings into one text string, my life would be much easier.

PS. You're lucky to get a hint this week...one more week of a high score over 300 and that's it! WE ARE ADULTS is ruining the grading curve for everyone else!

A Special Hello...

I just wanted to thank the owner of the Xtreme Team Trivia company for stopping by last night. I apologize that there were no seats in the entire bar available for you to stay longer. I guess you'll have to show up a little earlier next time. Pretty good turnout on a bad weather evening for a trivia game that apparently is not even "real". [Insert hilarious audio montage here] Peace out.

Trivia tonight...

This week has been much more relaxing than last week. All I did yesterday was sit around and count my Madisons - I thought I was rich! Then I went to the gas station and didn't even fill my tank on a Grant. I tell you what, they nickel and dime you everywhere!

See you tonight.

New Standings and Important Note

First of all, please take a look at the standings above. You will notice that I have highlighted the top 10 teams in green. As mentioned previously, the "qualifiers" for the tournament of champions are subject to change and we made a change to include top 10 in points plus 2 wild card teams (up from top 8).

Second, and probably most important, I am going to restate the rules of competition again:

NO CELL PHONES, PDAs, PORTABLE INTERNET DEVICES, ETC... SHOULD BE USED IN ANY CAPACITY TO ASSIST IN ANSWERING TRIVIA QUESTIONS AT ANY TIME.

Please remember, while we there are prizes involved, the game is played first and foremost for fun. I really do not want to have to monitor teams and it seems most all are cooperating with the rules. However, I have noticed a few utilizing outside sources for answers. If I have reason to believe you are using electronic assistance, you will be disqualified for the week and ineligible for participation in the Tournament of Champions. As a note to all teams NOT using performance-enhancing devices, please do not hesitate to let me know if you suspect cheating - your comments will be kept confidential.

Okay, that's all my preaching for the day. We just want to keep this a fun and fair event.
Your new hints will be posted by tomorrow (hopefully tonight).

Thanks,
Jason
