I'm supposed to head one and I've never been to one. Somebody didn't think this through

All I've been told is there are teams and trivia.

did you ever play trivial pursuit?

now imagine playing it in a bar, with teams, and you're more or less spot on.

Ive been to the one at Linda's Bar & Pub before (in Chapel Hill)..you get into your team of 2-10 folks, they pass out cards to write on, u come up with a team name, the winning group gets some kick ass prize if its a nice sports bar or pub if its a shitty one the prize is like a hat or some lame malt liquor tee shirt.

That's what I more or less figured.

Do you people think it's better when people have to answer each question right away or when they write down all the answers in each round and points are given accordingly?

how it works is everyone sits outside and looks up answers on their phones.

1 min for each question to write down the answer for the team. add up the points at the end of each round. don't accept an answer after you announce the question. mix question types (sports, entertainment, history etc.) for each question in the round. 4 rounds, 4 questions each takes about an hour, add some time for drinking/peeing in between rounds. and have a bonus question so people can get 4/10 right (out of a top ten) and wont have 0 points. make the bonus like jeopardy, get the category, wait, then get the question.

[Edited on September 10, 2009 at 1:31 AM. Reason : multipart questions are good, 100 for all answers correct/25 per correct if not all in a 3 part ?]

Alright so this is what I'm thinking.

5 rounds with 5 different categories. Each round has 10 questions.

Teams have one minute to write down an answer from when the question is finished being read. They can ask for the question to be repeated once.

Once the final question is read and their minute is up, teams turn in their papers and the answers are given. One point is given for each correct answer.

The team that wins the round gets a pitcher of beer for their team.

Categories I'm thinking of:
Sports
History
Geography
TV/Movies
Picture
Music
Literature

Most of those I stole from grimx
