L.K.D.P.H.S. Reigns Supreme!
Congratulations to LouKingDiamondPhillipsHeadScrewdriver for winning the Spring Season of All-Star Pop Culture, and taking the title, trophy and the prize pool of $759.00!
LouKing dominated the night in both the Final Four round and the Championship. The Final Four round started with Timmy! and The Mogs (in on a Wild Card spot after SFO's GAPCOMGARGO declined to travel) rounding out the SEA side of things, and Firecrotch representing SFO. LouKing kick started the night in the first round with a perfect score in the category of "TV Pitches", the only perfect score of the match. After an audio round called "Lyrically Speaking" where teams needed to complete the lyrics of the audio clip, LouKing increased their lead with a 7/10. Next up was "A Current Affair" and it was time for Firecrotch to burn bright, with a 9/10 for the round, pulling into second place. With only a single round left LouKing had a lock on a Championship seat, and it was a battle for 2nd place. "Box Office Bombs" was the category and both the Mogs and Firecrotch got a near perfect 9/10, but with Firecroth in the lead going into the round, they win the second seat in the Championship! A hearty congrats to both The Mogs and Timmy! for finishing 3rd and 4th respectively, and for playing a great season.
So the Champiohnship turned out to be the regional battle that we had all hoped it would be: SEA vs. SFO. The teams were incredibly evenly matched, and the game was literally a nail-biter. The Championship was a head-to-head competition, with teams chosing categories for their opponents, so strategy was running high and the air was thick with comeptition and rivalry. LouKing came out to an early lead, but not by much as most of the first half was a 1-point see-saw match. Firecrotch fell behind a bit mid-half, but managed to make up some lost ground with a few categories to their liking. The first half ended with LouKing at 22 and Firecrotch at 19, still either team's game!
With Firecrotch correctly answering the first question of the second half, it become a tied game that would go back and forth for most of the half. Firecrotch pulled ahead with "Monty Python Movies" "Dope Rhymes" "Tom Cruise" and "Do you Know Jack?", but LouKing fought back with a 6 question run of correct answers/steals that gave them a 4 points lead. When Firecroth came within a point with a correct answer on "Spinal Tap", LouKing decided to use their Multiplier on the graphic category of "Superheroes". Answering the question correctly gave them double points and a 7 point lead. Firecrotch fought back with their multiplier on the "Lost" question, and brought it back to a 1 point game with only 1 question left for LouKing. The category was "Seinfeld" and they answered correctly for the win.
A definite crowd favorite, LouKing started the night in command, and held that command for most of the Final Four and the Championship. They kept the #1 rank in the Seattle Division for a majority of the Season, and clinched the Divisional Title, and moved on to play strong and win the League title. They are definately a team worthy of being ALL-STAR POP CULTURE CHAMPIONS!
We've posted the score sheets for a complete breakdown of how each team performed in the Post Season. We'd also like to thank every team that came out and played this past season. Please register if you haven't done so already, and we'll let you know when the schedule for the Fall Season is posted.
