And in 2nd Place, Dad's Computers! This was really a crazy year. Before the 6 o'clock break when they stop telling us the standings we were in 2nd place. Our last few hours we thought we did bad and we sure we had dropped some places. At the awards ceremony they just kept calling teams and every time it wasn't us we got more and more excited! 2nd place felt AWESOME!

This year the Trivia stone was canceled after the first set of clues because of the weather. We had bunches of fun this year. One of the funniest moments happened during the awards ceremony when Eric accidentally broke our trophy on camera!

We take big advantage of Core Digital Internet's service failing during the middle of night and climb over 50 places to finish our best ever. Eric remembers screaming at 8:00 am on Sunday morning for everyone to wake up because we were in 21st place at the time. Team also gets 145 points for our answer "Boop-A-Doop Bar".
