Trivia Club: April 2012

Trivial Awards

One Golden VHS victory is an impressive achievement for any team on the night, a repeat Golden VHS victory at the very next event is an ever more impressive display of momentum and knowledge! Many teams have attempted to not just repeat, but threepeat in the history of Trivia Club live events, but only six teams have been equal parts knowing, and lucky, while learning along the way, to make it happen!

It should be no surprise that this exclusive club includes two of Trivia Club's most historically successful teams, the folk hero of our east-end location, the house team at our Original Home who also became the fist team to threepeat twice (the second time unconventionally, though also the first in a post-Cardinal Rule world for Trivia Club). The past two have taken place in The Roundhouse, by friendly rivals staking a claim at the franchise location. It should also be noted a single participant has won at least three times in a row at a location, twice, just with different teams: Mark of the Cunning Stunts won four times in a row at Cardinal Rule, while Shelby of the M. Night Shaym-Aliens won three times in a row at Farside.

Extra Curricular

While Trivia Club live events is where you can find us most often throughout the year, there are also annual events we hold that we like to refer to as Extra Curricular! These are annual events that aren't beholden to questions we ask weekly, but are still created and/or supported for the same quality of gamesmanship!

The Saturday Night Live Fantasy is fantasy sports for the comedy nerd. Built around drafting cast members, predicting hosts, and guessing songs played by the musical guest, Trivia Club has turned the sport that is inherent in a comedy institution into your new favourite Fantasy League! Our Phil Hartman Trophy has been awarded since Season 39 of Saturday Night Live! Matthew S. took over scoring from Russel H. for most of Season 45, and Rob M. has now taken the reigns for Season 46 and beyond.

Continuing the tradition established by the Totally Rad Show and /Film in 2008, the Summer Movie Wager asks Trivia Club’s sunniest and sandiest to rank the summer's biggest films, with bragging rights on the line! 2020, and it's lack of movies theatres, had no Summer Movie Wager.

The Fall TV Death Pool celebrated network television by pre-picking the rotten apples from the bunch! Ultimately the fewer episodes your selected shows air, the better! The Death Pool was run for one season, as it looked to be one of the last traditional years of broadcast television before streaming truly made television a year-round joy.

Stats

This section features all of the teams in the history of Trivia Club that have won enough Golden VHS tapes, and/or appeared enough times times at each location, to make an impact. Stats are split up between each location, as well as combined overall. VHS = Golden VHS won. Annual = Golden VCR, or other Annual trophies won. EP = events participated. HS = High Score. <0 = number of times that team has finished the night with less than zero points. 150+ = number of times that team has crossed the Sesquicentennial Mark. The TRVs or True Versus (otherwise known as the Trivia #) is explained in full below. Updated every #STATurday.

Teams included in the overall standings are teams who have won five Golden VHS and either made at least forty appearances or have won an Annual event at Trivia Club events. Trivia Clubhouse stats are not at this time included in the Overall Stats.

Teams included have at least twenty-five appearances at the weekly event. Participants mark their own answers at this event. Stats have been collected, and assigned, to the best of our abilities. HS = High Score. TOP = Number of events with Top Score, akin to Golden VHS wins. EP = Events Participated. E+/- = active participation streak at events, plus noting appearances (live and tape delay), minus noting absences). T5 = Number of events with Top Five Score. W/8 = Number of events with a score within eight points of the potential points attainable, akin to Sesquicentennial Mark. 3P% = Percentage of potential points that the team has obtained across all events that they have participated in (not to be confused with percentage of questions correct, as questions are not always one-for-one).

EXPLAINING TRVs the Trivia Club team sabermetric

TRVs stands for True Versus (or as we like to call it in-house, the Trivia #), and it's a sabermetric celebration of all the stats that we collect on Trivia Club participants! In case your wondering, sabermetrics is something that was first used in baseball to compare the performance of individual players, and has since because an instrumental part of sports management. For Trivia Club and the TRVs, we wanted to create a number that gave weight to not only those teams that continued to come out and compete but also give ample weight to those teams that were the most successful throughout our history, overall and also per location. Every stat that we keep is included, wins, events, annual wins, win percentage, point totals, point averages, high scores, times that teams have crossed the Sesquicentennial Mark, as well as finished the night with less than zero. These numbers are then mathed together to create a Raw TRVs which is then divided against the average of all the teams within that stat group to then create a number that we track at the thousandth decimal place. Finally, we are not mathematicians here at triviaclub.ca so if there is anyway that this algorithm can be improved, let us know!

Linear Championship Belt

Imagine, if you will, there was only one Golden VHS. Instead of the nearly 800 that have been handed out, their was a single Golden VHS Championship belt and every time a team won it, it was taken from the last team that won it, and so on and so forth, from the inaugural Champion to the present. We imagined it, so we traced it back and brought it forward. We are pleased to present to you the Trivia Club Linear Championship Belt.

Linear Championship can only be won if reigning team is present.
Linear Championship can't be lost in a tie, if the reigning team ties.
Linear Championship is vacated if the Championship team is not present at any Trivia Club event for five weeks, or 35 days. Then after the Linear Championship is won at the next possible event.
Linear Championship can be won or lost at all locations.
If a team has a different name then the one they had won the Linear Championship with, at least one team member has to be present for future defense (something kept track of to the best of our abilities).
Linear Championship reign begins at date of live event, and supersedes previous reign, if team participates on a tape delay and establishes a new top score for the event within 7 days of event.
Linear Championship can be won by more then one team at time in a tie in a tie that is not broken, and be co-held. A co-held belt can then change hands: 1) If both teams lose, 2) If one team retains and the other team loses to break the co-hold, 3) If one team retains and other vacates due to inactivity to break the co-hold, 4) If both teams vacate due to inactivity.

NOTES * Championship vacated due to Trivia Club cutting ties with Wychwood Pub. ** The Bastards, with Matthew Smith, first defeated PETE! on the 030 edition before defending the Championship once with PETE! as a member of The Bastards. *** This was the second event in the eleven-part Grand Championship Grand Prix 2015. **** Record for most defenses in the least amount of days. Because of the make-up of the Electric Bastards, Championship could have been defended (and even lost) by either The Electric Mayhem or The Bastards. ***** Record defences. The Electric Bastards beat The Bastards on 056, with two members of The Electric Mayhem, thus making it a Championship defendable only by The Electric Mayhem. ^ Took place during first leg of Christopher Hitchens Cup II. ^^ Took place during second leg of Christopher Hitchens Cup II. ^^^ Won at the last Cardinal Rule event of 2015, defended on last Hitch (and last event overall) of 2015. ^^^^ This was the first, and likely the last, Leap Day Trivia Club event. ^^^^^ PETE! defended, and lost, the Linear Championship as the only team member of Team YXE continuing to participate in Trivia Club in Toronto.
