Hint for Week 1 of New Season

Bonus Round questions are valued by each team (like Final Jeopardy). Value cannot exceed 20 points, and will result in negative points should your team answer incorrectly.

Week 1 Hint:

Second Division Added

We'd like to welcome everyone in San Francisco on board our little trivia train. San Francisco will be a new "Division" of the league starting this season. As a seperate Division, San Francisco will be playing at the same time, on the same night as Seattle. Both Divisions will be receiving the same questions, so we can really determine who is the best overall team in the league.

But that doesn't mean that you must compete against MORE teams to get to the post season. Each Division will have it's own ranking list, and teams will compete for a #1 rank within their own Division, not across the league as a whole.

If you have friends or family in the Bay area, clue them into the hottest thing to happen to pop culture since Paris Hilton!

Changes to the Post Season

If your team played in our "beta" season last winter, you'll want to know about some changes that were made to the structure of our Post Season. These changes were made after some player feedback, and we feel will better the league play on a whole:

• Top 2 from each Division move on to the Final Four round. Since we've got (potentially) twice as many teams, playing in 2 cities, we're making it fair to everyone and inviting the top 2 ranked teams from each Division to the Final Four round.


• One more week of Qualifiers. This season will have 11 weeks of qualifying nights. The Final Four and the Championship rounds will be held in a single night in Seattle (stay tuned for details)


• Final Four round will be a 4 team standard quiz, just like the qualifying nights (no head-to-head like last season) Top 2 teams in points from the Final Four will move on to the Championship, held that same night.


• The Championship will feature Head-to-Head competition, like last season, but we have omitted the "solo" portion of the structure. Teams will answer each question as a group. All other aspects of the Championship format have remained intact.


• The cost each week is still $10, and we will still be providing 50% of that to each night's winner. This season 25% of each team's entry will go to the team that finishes #1 in their Division, and 25% will go to the winner of the Championship. This gives all teams more opportunity to earn cash!
