A good race, with Mindless Jerks only assuming first place in the eighth hour of play.
Uncle Doobie's total was aided by an infusion of 6 or 7 extra players from Des' New York-heavy squad. However, it was immediately depleted by the defection of a bunch of people who became Santa's Secret Service, and played down the hall for fun (not, strictly speaking, a defection, since over half the team had not played the last contest and the new team had been planned before the contest). The net effect of the counteracting moves is tough to quantify, but must be considered close to "nil."
The biggest event in the scoring was the very strong debut showing from continuing trivia force Bob Ross, who have never finished out of the top three since.
The Doobie team (minus the New Yorkers, but with the Secret Santas) were coming off a win as "Can't....Do.....Plaid....(thud)." In fact, they were coming off three wins in a row.
The Santa faction would reunite with their traditional Doobie partners the following spring, while retaining the New York mob. The amalgamation won as "We Make Holes in Teeth!," beating Elvis Needs Boats (now "Certain Unnamed Persons in Taffeta") in overtime. Elvis/Taffeta would then win the Holes in Teeth contest, as Gentle Tongue-Tongue.
