Week 3 Recap

Last week was another great night of competition! In Seattle, newcomers Werewolf Bar Mitzvah seized their first win. Eleven teams were within 3 points of the lead at the half, but a sprint at the finish locked up the victory. In the San Francisco division, Shoe Money Tonight posted another win. And in the middle, Portland team Bologna Nipples had a strong showing against a widening field. The season is off to a great start.

Every week we get emails and comment cards with suggestions for categories. We really do take these seriously, and we're constantly updating the schedule to achieve the right balance. Several of the requests we've received this season were actually already scheduled, but we've also added more. Our basic criteria for a category are:

• A) it's truly something that falls within the realm of "popular culture"? (Sorry to the team that asked for "economics")
• B) it's not so specific as to be too limiting in focus, such as Iron Maiden B-sides or Elton John tour dates,
• C) there must be sufficient material within the subject to generate enough questions with an appropriate range of difficulty,
• D) Is it fun?

So keep those ideas coming. They do get used! In other news, we're working on adding more functionality to the blog, such as polls. So get your RSS on and subscribe. See you Thursday for our special 80s night, which is always a favorite.
