NTN Encore Question of August 26th, 2006.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO, Sean METLCA, and Phil PLBAAB. I had to e-mail them to ask which bar they were going to be this week because I'd lost track.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...4500/5000...1st/7...my two co-won this round with COSMO, PLBAAB, and MADDOG. ..........LITBOX...4500/5000...1st/7. I only had to guess two and got one right. OnBeat...ROCKET...11500/14000...4th/7...METLCA, PLBAAB, and COSMO win round with 8 of 9. ..........LITBOX...11500/14000...4th/7. 7 right and 2 wrong was OK with me for not having kept up with the music scene in the last month. We can see Rock Star Supernova on Global Network in Canada but we didn't know CBS carried it in the US. I didn't know an album title was by DMX because I didn't read through my Billboard magazine. JukeBox...ROCKET...14594/20000...4th/7...didn't notice who won round. ...........LITBOX...14589/20000...4th/7. Not good at all. I missed both Loverboy questions although we disagreed that Loverboy was formed in Toronto and took -250 even with the final clue. I live in this city and everyone says they're from Vancouver. Triviaoke...ROCKET...19958/28000...4th/7...METLCA wins round. .........LITBOX...19971/28000...3rd/7. I took two -250s in this round which is nothing new.

Now the Encore answers come up. Writers or producers?
Encore Question:...Who scored his first hit "To Know Him Is To Love Him" as a member of The Teddy Bears?

Pretty easy. I've heard DJs mention this and have read it in my music book. I don't blurt it out right away but say I know it. Rob knows it too. I tell them almost word for word the 'extra fact' that will be shown after the answer.
Correct Answer:....2. Phil Spector
[NTN Extra Fact:...The title was lifted from an inscription on his father's gravestone.]
Knowing about Spector's ongoing court troubles, Rob jokes "Did he kill his father too?"
I'm right and stay at 3rd as LITBOX. I finish 404th in all North America. The bar is 10th in North America with a 30312 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard which I didn't notice before the game started. Sean wins and is 18th on the Network Top 20. [ntn.com moves our bar down to 16th out of 1831 bars].
Soccer season is still on so it may be another three or four weeks until I'm out again. I wanted to finish with over 30000 but was glad I got the Encore because my last outting I missed it.
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank METLCA 21095 31642 18 102 PLBAAB 20120 30180 332 134 LITBOX 19971 29956 404 140 ROCKET 19958 29937 410 141 COSMO 19898 29847 439 142 MADDOG 12326 18489 4077 609 BERGIE 5620 x 2810 9099 5274 [ntn.com listed 7461 players]
Other games:...I start the evening with ROCKET at 3,482,000 and LITBOX at 1,223,000 P+ points.
8:00pm...RaceDay Trivia...ROCKET...581/1500...1st/7...500+ points...I'm 3186th in NA...didn't notice the bar ranking.
........LITBOX...508/1500...3rd/7...500+ points...I'm 4042 in NA...I couldn't meet the 600+ standard. I didn't know any of the answers
so just waited to change on the third clue.

.............LITBOX...13149/15000...2nd/7...1000+ points...I'm 77th in NA....bar is 20th in NA with a 12125 average
