Time to reflect and regroup!!!!

Hello New Biggies and Loyal Players of the Big Trivia Show!

Another year has (almost) come and gone. This is the time of year that we usually reflect on the year that was and focus on the new year to come. No, I’m not going to do that here as I will leave that for the news shows. We each lived this year differently and uniquely and therefore, who am I to speak for every individual person? You know what you did!!

Now, as far as the Big Trivia Show is concerned, this has truly been a great year! It was not void of adversity at times, but all came out just fine. I do want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of the five Big Trivia Show venues for their continued support as we move into 2009 bigger and better than ever! Here they are...

Thanks to Martin, Rachel, Keith, Nick, and Lucy at Copper Rocket as they put up with me the most (4 days a week!!).

Thanks to Phil, Lisa, and Fallon at Rivals. I’ll be back after the New Year!!

Thanks to everyone at Smokey Bones especially Brooke and Jenna Beth!

Thanks to Kelly, Lizza, and the crew at Gators Dockside Lake Mary

And of course….

Thanks to Crystal, Dom, Keith, and James at Coasters!!

Now, I’m not one for picking one BTS Team of the Year as that would also be silly in my view. Each show is unique and different and that’s the way I like it! However, I will choose one team per venue that, in my view, showed exemplary dedication, as well as, gamesmanship throughout the year. Some will feel slighted but that is unavoidable. For this, I am sorry.

So, without further rambling, here are the 2008 BTS Teams of the Year.

At Copper Rocket it is……I LIKE BEER

At Rivals the award goes to…..Sean and Travis (and their numerous team names and teammates!! You know who you are!!)

At Smokey Bones it is….The Pink Panthers

At Gators Dockside it is…The South Pole Elves

At Coasters it is…..I Peed in your Pool

Each of the teams listed above will receive 3 extra points on their overall score for the next show!
