“League of Champions” Recap: Week 1

I told you last week that we were adding a new "League of Champions" series for TLO Trivia Night. In case you missed it, teams now accumulate points based on where they finish at any one of our trivia nights. In April, we're inviting the 14 teams with the most points to a $1,500 Champions Match.

Each Monday we're going to post the "League of Champions" standings and a brief recap of each trivia night. When you check it out, remember a couple of things:

• It's not too late to get involved in the League of Champions. If you played TLO Trivia Night in the past, this would be a good time to get the team back together for a triumphant return (we're looking at you, Team Firecrotch). The qualifying period will last three months, so you still have time.

• You don't have to be part of the League of Champions to play TLO Trivia Night. You can still win cash prizes, beer, and have a good time without being part of the league.

Anyway, here is this week's recap:
