Encore Question of September 3rd, 2005.
Played at the Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with three boards as ROCKET and LITBOX and LNCITY (after London City, a CPSL soccer team who are in a tournament I'm driving to tomorrow about 200 km away in London Ontario). Richard is here playing BERGIE and LISTER, and a stranger playing as SUR who was punching in our answers but then left near the end of the game.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...4000/5000...4th/6...LNCITY, BERGIE and LISTER co-win round. ..........LITBOX...4000/5000...4th/6. .........LNCITY...4500/5000...1st/6. I split on one answer, and get one wrong. OnBeat...ROCKET...11000/14000...4th/6...all six of our boards co-win round. ..........LITBOX...11000/14000...4th/6. .........LNCITY...11500/14000...1st/6 7 right and 2 wrong was pretty good in that I hadn't read through my Billboard magazine this week. I hadn't played back the MTV Video Awards but got the Kelly Clarkson performance costume right because I've seen the video played on a countdown show. JukeBox...ROCKET...15224/20000...6th/6...BERGIE wins round. ...........LITBOX...15238/20000...5th/6. ...........LNCITY...15580/20000...4th/6. Richard wanted the second 'Cheap Trick' question but from a recap, '1986' turned out to be easy. Triviaoke...ROCKET...16407/28000...6th/6. .........LITBOX...16442/28000...5th/6. ..........LNCITY...16495/28000...4th/6. I took about 4 -250s in this round for the second week in a row. I messed up all the new songs. By now SUR had left and even with him not playing I couldn't pass him even typing in answers I knew would be -250. At the end of the JukeBox round, I didn't expect to make 20000 but I didn't expect I'd be in danger of losing points.

Now the Encore answers come up. The Byrds and Bob Dylan as their writer?
Encore Question:...This Bob Dylan song was the title track on a 1965 album by Cher:

I don't know this. I just know it's just not Sukiyaki which was sung in Japanese. I don't think Cher sang "Like A Rolling Stone". I was actually thinking of The Byrds songs. I choose to go with "My Back Pages". Richard likes "All I Really Want To Do" or "Like A Rolling Stone". He goes with my answer.
Richard says to switch the 6th board to '2' but I'm a fraction of a second too late maybe because I think it'll do better than mine.
Correct Answer:....2. All I Really Want To Do
[NTN Extra Fact:...Cher also sings Bob Dylan's song "Blowin' In The Wind" and "Don't Think Twice" on the album].
Actually I should have got this. I bought the Cher Greatest Hits double CD last year and that song was on here. I could hear her sing this song but was still shaken with what a terrible Triviaoke round I had.
I'm wrong hold my positions. I finish 1430th in all North America. The bar finishes at 1480th with an 8520 average. I earn 1500+ points for missing this week's standard of 15000 points. [ntn.com moved our bar up to 262nd out of 1616 bars].
My other friends had gone to Joe Mercury's and got their bar into 10th place. A correct answer as Richard pointed out, would have got us a Top 20 finish.
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank BERGIE 17745 x 8873 781 1551 LISTER 17721 x 8861 793 1554 SUR 16796 x 8398 1274 1700 LNCITY 16495 x 8248 1430 1755 LITBOX 16642 x 8221 1458 1765 ROCKET 16407 x 8204 1476 1772 [ntn.com listed 6343 players]
I didn't expect a Top 20 game for myself. Spinning around in the Triviaoke round meant I was already disappointed. Wow what a great bar rank. Must have had most of the bars split their answers for the individuals to come out ahead of me.
Other games:...I start the evening with ROCKET at 3,279,500 P+ points and LITBOX at 1,080,000.
8:00pm...Countdown...ROCKET...13245/15000...2nd/4...1000+ points...I'm 9th in NA.
.........LITBOX...13292/15000...1st/4...1000+ points...I'm 8th on the Network Top 20 for all North America...bar is 476th.
Richard BERGIE had placed 8th on the 7:30pm Countdown game.
8:30pm...Tuned In Countdown...ROCKET...11608/15000...1st/4...1000+ points...I'm 128th in NA.
..............LITBOX...11605/15000...2nd/4...1000+ points...I'm 129th in NA...bar is 553rd. Lots of help from Richard.
No Simpson's questions. Great!
9:00pm...Playback (see above).
