Number Nine dropped a 90 and basically treated the rest of the room like practice questions. The only real stumble was a 7-point Round 5, which is the trivia equivalent of accidentally spilling a little champagne during a victory parade.

Latin 3-Way snagged second via tiebreaker and once again proved that if there's a big wager available, they're probably taking it. Twenty-point finish, no hesitation, no fear, no apparent concern for consequences.

Cool Mint started with 10 points through three rounds and somehow finished tied for second. Either they remembered how to play halfway through the night or somebody's smartest friend finally arrived.

Soup Nuts & Tea quietly put up 73 without ever making a lot of noise. The trivia version of a team that leaves the party early and somehow still wins employee of the month.

Wise Guys scored 5 points through two rounds and then nearly made the podium. That's not a comeback; that's a witness relocation program.

Smelly Cat and NeverNudes both spent most of the night lurking around the middle of the pack before cashing enough points late to stay relevant.

Professional spoiler behavior.

Player 456 remains one of the most unpredictable teams in the league. Some weeks they're terrifying. Some weeks they're confusing. Most weeks they're both.

The Annex spent the night hovering around respectability before a small wager bump pushed them to 47. Not flashy, but neither is paying your taxes and that's still important.

Hermosa Hillbillies had multiple chances to make a move and instead chose consistency. Unfortunately the consistency was "almost."

The J's scored 27 heading into the final and somehow escaped with 36. That's called maximizing opportunities. Or guessing aggressively.

Barstool Trio reached 15 points and then apparently entered a medically induced trivia coma.

Drinks and Diagnostics successfully diagnosed their own final wager as fatal.

L'square finished with 13 points, which is still 13 more than the people who stayed home and watched Netflix.
