2024 Trivia Guide & Rules


KEY DATES & OVERVIEW

Team Size: 2-3 players with option for an alternate player.

In 2023, we tested your spelling abilities. This year we’re testing your memories and exercising your brains with Trivia! We’ll test your knowledge by focusing on trivia related to old movies, WWII and more!

As in the past, each team  (2-3 players with option for an alternate player) will have to answer the questions and then bet on how confident they are in their answers.

New this year:
 All competitions leading up to the Regionals will be held within each community. Winning teams from each community will compete at a regional competition. The top team from each region PLUS one wild card team, selected following the regional competition, will compete for the grand prize in Springfield on October 29!

REGIONAL COMPETITIONS WILL BE HELD IN SEPTEMBER!
Please plan to arrive with your teams by 1pm. This will give them time to settle in prior to the competition.

TOURNAMENT RULES - COMMUNITY, REGIONAL & STATE

1. A minimum of two judges will be required for each local trivia contest.

3. Each team will write down their answer to each questions and assign a point value (1-15). Each point value can only be used once.

4. The teams will be allowed two minutes to write out their answer and assign a point value. During the two minutes, teams may ask the judges to repeat the question.

5. After two minutes, the team must slide the answer sheet to the front of the table and put down their pencils/pens.
