iQ Trivia is launching a quarterly tournament among all of the winning teams across all of our live venues.
We tested the concept from October to December at a handful of venues and it has worked well, but now we are planning to expand it across all of our quizzes.
The idea is that the winning team at every venue gets their score entered onto a leader board.
At the end of the quarter, whatever team has the highest cumulative score among all their wins, wins.
It’s only the winning team who gets their score entered. If you come second, your score doesn’t go on the board.
You can go to more than one quiz in a week, but you only get one score every week. So if you go on Tuesday and win with 65 points, and then win again on Wednesday with 68 points, only your Wednesday score counts.
If you want to complain that it’s easier to win at a venue with fewer teams… well, that’s probably true. Also, we don’t care. There will be no handicapping of scores. If you want to win by going to a smaller venue, there’s nothing stopping you.
We plan to post the leader board at the end of every week so you know where you stand.
Keeping track of team names may be a bit tricky given that team names change every week, so if you want to compete, you’ll need to give us a way to identify you. The answer sheets are being updated to make a space for you to enter an identifier you can use at all quizzes right next to your final score. (It can be the name of a team member, a team nickname, or anything that is unique to your team.) That way your host can send a photo of the winning score & your tournament team name so we can update our records. (If you are in the running to win the tournament we will also have to be able to contact you, preferably by e-mail.)
In the unlikely event of a tie on cumulative points at the end of the tournament, the team with the highest score on a single quiz will win.
Have an interesting tournament.
Here’s what you may have missed this week at iQ Trivia.

On an alphabetical list of Rugby World Cup playing countries, we had to explain that Bangladesh has never been to the Rugby World Cup.
When asked when the actress who played the grandmother in Titanic was born, we had guessed ranging from 1876 to 1973. Which would have made her either 24, or 121 years old when they film was released.
And a Scotsman failed to recognise Auld Lang Syne being played on bagpipes. He’s a bad Scotsman.
