Same 50-man team wins Stevens Point trivia contest

(Stevens Point-AP) - The team that won this weekend's trivia contest in Stevens Point also won last year -- but under a different name.

The 50-man team called itself "Being Bud Somerville" this year in what's billed as "the world's largest trivia contest.''

Last year, the same group won calling themselves "C-N-O-F-54: Runnin' Out of Time.''

Many members are veterans of the contest which has been running for 31 years.

"Being Bud Somerville'' soundly beat first-runner up "N-E-2-R-K,'' which has also won numerous times over the years under the name "Network.''

Radio station W-W-S-P at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point hosted the marathon, asking 432 questions on the air from Friday night to midnight Sunday. Teams had to call in their answers.

This year drew 466 teams with more than 11,800 participants.
