Last night's audience full of Cage-a-Maniacs witnessed a historical first Cage Match Tournament of Champions TIE SCORE! Two wonderful 25-minute sets by Rumpleteaser and then by My Momma's Biscuits produced a tie score of 41 to 41. After all present recovered from the shock of the unprecedented moment, both teams happily agreed to perform additional 5-minute sets right then and there, followed by another audience vote. The second vote result was 41 to 34 with My Momma's Biscuits advancing to the Semifinals round. Thanks to the audience for staying a bit longer for the bonus fun, to both teams for the good attitudes and creating four amazing shows, and extra-special thanks to everyone working at UCBT last night for doing all the surprise extra work that made the bonus round go so smoothly.
