The Rules

the categories, no Googling anything to do with the
quiz, even on the break!
3.Although I appreciate spirited debate, my decision is
final no matter how unfair it may seem.
4.The game is composed of seven rounds of ten
questions each. At the end of each round, you'll pass
your answers to another table to mark, and then make
fun of the answers and scores.
5.There is a “Double score round”. Before the quiz
begins, each team decides which category they will
receive double points in. Categories are on the answer
sheet.
6.At the end of the 7 rounds, there will be a “Final Trivia
Round” where you can bet up to 20 points on a
question…the category will be provided prior to
wagering.
7.In the event of a tie, the tied teams shall be asked a
tiebreaker question. The team with the correct (or
closest to correct) answer will win the game. In the

same winning answer, the round will go to the team that
hands in their winning answer first to the quizmaster.
