Some nights are tightly contested battles. Some nights are absolute rock fights. This was the second one.

One Hour Hot Dogg took home the win with 59 points, proving that you don't need a monster score if everyone else is also busy stepping on rakes. They were steady all night, avoided any major disasters, and quietly pulled away when it counted.

Your Brain On Ale looked like they might challenge for the top spot after a strong finish, but came up one point short at 58. A 15-point final wager nearly completed the comeback and probably caused at least one person at the table to start calculating scenarios on a cocktail napkin.

Redhead Redemption and Camp Castle ended in a dead heat at 50, despite taking very different roads to get there. Redhead Redemption was consistently solid throughout, while Camp Castle spent the night building momentum before cashing in a well-timed wager. Camp Castle won the tiebreaker to claim the 3rd place prize!

Real Quiz Wives of Torrance had one of the stranger scorecards of the evening. They opened strong, survived a rough middle stretch, and somehow managed to score exactly zero points in the final wager round. That's the trivia equivalent of parallel parking perfectly and then locking your keys in the car.

Meanwhile, Barman deserves recognition for the night's most dramatic turnaround. After opening with a goose egg in Round 1, they clawed their way back to 39 points and even picked up 10 on the final wager. Not enough for a podium finish, but enough to avoid becoming the answer to next week's "Who had the roughest night?" question.

Overall, a low-scoring, scrappy night where consistency beat brilliance and a single question here or there made all the difference. In other words: exactly the kind of trivia night that keeps people coming back.
