Post-Season Info
Attention All Teams: Even if your team does not have a chance to qualify, you should read this info.During both weeks of the Post-season, all teams are encouraged to come by and watch the action. Not only will this be a unique format that has never been used in this area, but we will also be having a "side-quiz" for the teams that aren't participating, with fun prizes given out to those that get correct answers. In addition, for the Championship Event on April 12th, Jillian's has informed us that they will be giving you a free buffet! This is their way of saying "thank you" to all the teams that came out this season and made it such a success. So whether you are 5th or 30th at the end of this week, do come out and celebrate All-Star Pop Culture's first season.
Score Change
Please note that the scores have changed ever so slightly, which has affected some teams' ranking within the league. Please visit the Scores page, and hit refresh on your browser, to see the current standings as we head into the final qualifying week of the season. For those that are interested, here is a brief explanation: When the league was first conceived, we had no idea of the growth, and rate of growth, that we've seen. With an average of 18-19 teams per week, you've made this one of the most popular Quiz Nights in the area, and we thank you very much for that. We recognized that some areas would feel the strain of such growth, and immediately started focussing on them. One of the major areas was scorekeeping. Each night, the scores are recorded and totalled by hand. This would not be a problem with 7-10 teams, but with 20 it opens the door for human error. Since week 3, we've been working on a better solution for scorekeeping and tablulation. Unfortunately, this process takes some time, and along the way we will run into problems. We continue to thank you for helping forge something completely unique, and hope that you can weather the 'bumps' in the road. We promise that you won't be disappointed... this is only the beginning!
Hint for Week 10
Bonus Round questions are valued by each team (like Final Jeopardy). Value cannot exceed 20 points, and will result in negative points should your team answer incorrectly. Week 10 Hint:
Game On!
Well after a, self-admittedly, tough week in the theme of 'all things 80's', the scoreboard is as close as its been all season. With only 41 points separating 2nd place from 10th place, it really is a whole new game. We would also like to inform all teams that The Mogs were given the opportunity to choose a category for finishing in 2nd place in Week 7. They have chosen "Rated R for Nudity". This category will center around celebrity nude scenes in motions pictures. Back to our regularly general-themed quiz this week, it will be the second to last week of qualifiers for the season. Those that just don't see a post-season in your future, you still have the big cash prize to come out and play for. We've been getting about 20 teams for the last few weeks, so $100.00 is nothing to scoff at when it comes to pub quizes! We are also diligently working on setting up the next season as well, with lots of new surprises we think you'll love! Please stay tuned for all the details as they become solidified. Rest assured, All-Star Pop Culture is only in it's infancy!
Hint for Week 9
Bonus Round questions are valued by each team (like Final Jeopardy). Value cannot exceed 20 points, and will result in negative points should your team answer incorrectly. Week 9 Hint:
Nobody, and I mean Nobody, Puts Baby in a Corner!
The winner's were announced for the 2007 Oscars, and teams were on the edge of their seat and losing sleep over how they did in the All-Star Pop Culture Oscar Pool. We had 14 teams fill out ballots, with a 5-way tie for 2nd place the team on top was Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner! They are proud recipient of the total prize package, which includes: 6 Scarecrow Video Movie Guides, 6 Scarecrow Video T-shirts, 6 coupons good for 2 free rentals at Scarecrow Video, 2 tickets to the Thunderbirds, 4 passes to a screening of the 300, their very own "Oscar-like" Statuette, and 50 points in the league! Congratulation to Baby, they got 11 of the 14 categories correct!
