10/20/11 2 13 The sophomore Sprat! outing showed a more confident team than the first time, now that we are more familiar with the pace and structure of the Aqus Quiz. Sprat! handily mastered most of the quiz questions (winning an additional two inter-round prizes!), but fell apart in the music round. Team consisted of Liz, Darren, John, Sheila, Aidan, and our secret weapon: Baby Nula distracted the other teams with her charisma. Quiz Mistress Leslie overrode protocol as Sprat! had half as many players as the First Place team; the winning pot was divided evenly between the top two teams. Surely this will engender enmity amongst the ranks towards SPRAT! For now, we received compliments in victory... soon they will dread our name... Oh, yes... and fear us.

Team consisted of team consisted of John, Darren, Dawnelle, Raye Lynn, and Liz

 Everyone seemed mellow, quiz master was firm yet kind.

This quiz included multiple prizes [bottles of wine, t-shirts] for single questions answered by individuals in between rounds. No consolation prizes. 10 or 11 teams, many regulars well known to Leslie. Soon, soon they will know SPRAT!
