HALL OF CHAMPIONS
In the course of our time running virtual trivia, we have seen many great teams. People with gallons full of knowledge about the absurd and the obscure. Teams whose talents span every category under the sun. But a few have climbed to an even more elite status. Call them the best of the best. And we honor those teams here, in our Hall of Champions.
Winners of our February Tournament of Champions
Schaeffer? I Hardly Know Her!
Our February Tournament of Champions winners were Schaeffer? I hardly Know her! Coming in hot with a hilarious team name, these folks rocked the leaderboard all night. Of course, who could expect otherwise? With both a baby AND a dog on their team they were clearly the all-star team of the evening.

Winners of our Chicago Tech Company Tournament
Wampa Stompas
Our first ever Chicago Tech Tournament Champions were Wampa Stompas! These tech savvy trivia fanatics started out strong and, well, continued to play an incredibly strong trivia game from start to finish. Even our super tough, mind-bending bonus rounds weren't hard enough to slow the down! Congratulations, Wampa Stompas, you are champions among champions!
Winners of our September Tournament of Champions and
our February Tournament of Champions
Quarenqueens
What is the most impressive kind of champion? The kind that defeats all the other champions. Twice. On September 29th, we hosted our first ever Tournament of Champions- a competition between the winners of every game we had hosted over the previous two months, spanning both public and private events. The competition was a tight race featuring a number of great teams, but Quarenqueens nearly ran the table, crushing question after question, bonus round after bonus round for a wire-to-wire victory. Congratulations to our first ever winner of the Tournament of Champions!

1. Quarenqueens- 146 points
We now have three Tournaments of Champions under our belt, but the winner of our first Tournament is holding steady atop the leaderboard for most points scored in a Tournament of Champions, truly a hard team to dethrone. After all, 146 points isn't just the most points scored in one of these games, it's the second-most points scored in any competition in Long Distance Trivia history!

3. Tommy Doyle's Originals- 142 points
4. Watermelon Sugar Hybrid Learning- 142 points

We've been at this for four months so far, and two teams keep dominating the leaderboard. One is Quarenqueens, whose name is all over this Hall of Champions. The second (whose name is ever-changing from week to week) is a mere team of two: Katie and Keith. Multiple times now, they have beaten a dozen or so teams of 4-6 players to take down first place.
Most Consecutive Trivia Wins
1. Quarenqueens- 4 Consecutive Weeks (12-21, 12-8, 1-4, 1-11)
2. (tie) Schaeffer? I Hardly Know Her! - 3 Consecutive Weeks (2-1, 2-8, 2-15) and Long Distance Drinking/I Am Asking You Again to Be My Valentine/Ash Wednargsday (2-3, 2-10, 2-17)
3. (tie) Great White Buffaloes - 2 Consecutive Weeks (12-7, 12-14) and I Can Smell It In My Mouth/We Are Untethered and Our Rage Knows No Bounds - 2 Consecutive Weeks (3-8, 3-15)
It's hard to conceive of a team that could excel in so many ways when simply playing trivia online with the friends, but we assure you the Quarenqueens are mind-bogglingly incredible. They also hold the title of most consecutive trivia wins! Kinda makes you want to sign up your own team and see if you can beat them, doesn't it?
Inaugural Long Distance Family Feud Champions
Chi Towns Finest
On October 7th, 2020, Long Distance Trivia broke out of the trivia mold and blasted onto the Family Feud scene (a game definitely not based on copywritten material)! A day sure to be mentioned in all the history books about virtual online competitions in the age of Covid-19, we will remember forever through this championship web page. Congratulations to Chi Towns Finest for being the first to be the best at guessing the answer the most people gave in a survey we conducted ourselves through our email mailing list.
