Q&A for Pub Quiz League Championship
Question 1: How do we register?
Answer: You play. If you qualify for “Championship Points” at the end of a pub quiz, you will be asked to give a permanent team name, and name a team captain. Your points will then be recorded. There is no extra fee to enter the League Championship.
Question 2: We like to change our team name at each quiz. Can we still play for the League Championship?
Answer: Yes. When you first qualify for points, you will be asked to give a permanent team name. If you want to play under another name, tell the Quiz Master that you are “Permanent Team Name playing as ____________”. That way your points will be properly recorded. Just remember, that your points in the League Standing will be recorded under your permanent team name.
Question 3: Look, we really want to win the League Championship, and we suddenly realize that Bobby and Suzy don’t know Algeria from Alzheimer’s. We kicked them off the team. Now they are claiming to be the permanent team name. Can they really claim our points?
Answer: Sadly, some people do take their pub quizzes a bit too seriously. But as long as we get our €15, we tend to ignore the sociopathic tendencies of certain players. The permanent team captain is the constant of the team. Whoever he or she shows up with is the team.
Question 4: If the permanent team captain is the constant, does that mean the captain HAS to play every time?
Answer: No. But please don’t have a mutiny the week the permanent team captain isn’t at the pub.
Question 5: Will there be trophies this year?
Yes
Question 6: the spring pub quiz league has a first prize of €500. What gives?
There are 11 quizzes in the Fall, while there are 14-15 quizzes in the spring. more quizzes means more prize money.
Question 7: Some of these teams seem way ahead in the standings. I don’t thinkI can catch up! can I?
The league rewards winning. If you start winning quizzes, you catch up in no time.
question 8: You run a pub quiz. How big of a geek are you?
Answer: This big. there is a “Rome Pub Quiz Global” group at www.facebook.com. where league standings will be posted.
