Revision as of 14:28, 9 January 2012

Enjoy trivia games? If so, you won't want to miss the Team Trivia Contest at the 2012 NSC hosted by John Robertson and assistant. Everyone is welcome to participate: players, staff, friends, spouses and family members, other hotel guests, complete outsiders, etc.

As in all previous trivia contests I have run with others, this will be a team event (maximum seven players to a team). You may form your own team in advance. Don't have a team? No problem! You'll be assigned to a team when you show up.

When: Saturday, August 11, 2012 at 9 p.m. (subject to change)

Location: TBA. Rest assured it will be somewhere within the tournament hotel venue.

Categories: pop culture, history, geography, sports, music, current events, literature, art, science, politics, movies, television, words, numismatics...you name it.

Format:

• Two rounds of 20 oral questions on a variety of subjects;
• At least three handout sheets based on specialized themes or subjects;
• Two "Who/What Am I?" mystery subjects based on multiple clues;
• Two wagering rounds (somewhat like Final Jeopardy!, but slightly different)

Usual length: About two hours of unbridled fun! (Ask those who have participated in past team trivia events in Albany, Lake George and Buffalo!)

Entry fee: $10 per person--approximately 90% of the entry fees will be returned as prize money to the top-finishing teams. The rest goes to offset expenses. Payment will only be accepted at the door. Ten-dollar bills help considerably.
