For many trivia players across the country, the month of April might be better known as “Trivia Month,” where several huge trivia events occur nationwide. This past weekend in Cincinnati, Last Call hosted its annual Ludimentis Tournament where teams from across the nation take their shot at winning some of over $10,000 in cash and prizes. Best of luck to everyone involved with Ludimentis. My local team can’t seem to get past the semi-finals! The past several weekends, at cities across Last Call Nation, the Winter League Semi-Final and Final Tournaments were completed with each city crowning a champion. Congratulations are definitely in order for: Team Susan – Phoenix Nerds of a Feather – Portland Southwest Idaho Temperance League – Boise Torgo – Columbus The Little Engine – Louisville Tyrannosaurus Sex – Cincinnati Chick Fil Atio – Cleveland Queens Full of Treys – Pittsburgh In the words of Ricky Bobby, each of these teams “piss excellence,” but what about the also-rans, runner-ups, the bridesmaids?  History rarely remembers second place… Last weekend, in another part of the country, I was remotely participating in the 47th “World’s Largest Trivia Contest,” a 54-hour trivia marathon held annually in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. The event is a primary fundraiser for WWSP, the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point’s campus radio station, that features over 300 teams and nearly 10,000 players who arrive in central Wisconsin to compete in the festivities, which include a trivia movie, parade, scavenger hunts, insanely difficult visual trivia, music snippets, and, of course, 54 consecutive hours of the most random minutia in the universe. Dad’s Computers, my trivia team and three-time defending champions, entered Trivia 47 confident and prepared, with many team members completing their year-long assigned homework duties of taking notes on old TV shows and movies.
