Our first IfTech Trivia v1.0: complete. ✅

Yesterday, 12 teams joined us in Riga for a tech quiz night built around IT rebuses, puzzles and trivia questions. The leaderboard was tight all the way to the end, with only a few hundred points separating the top teams:

🥈 Whatever with 40 138 pts
🥉 Galactico with 40 041 pts
