Finals Quiz 1
An exciting first quiz with CMD 2, Western PA 1, and Ohio Valley. Western PA 1 took an early lead and was 80 points ahead at one point, but CMD battled back, and on question 20 was only 20 points back. Dallas got the jump, and if right would have won the quiz with a fourth person bonus for the team, but he guessed the wrong question, so Western PA won the first quiz with CMD coming a strong second. Quiz 2 to come!
