Rules for Loonys Trivia Night

1. Judging panel decisions will be final. The judging panel will consist of the MC calling the questions, the quiz master (person who submits the questions), and the lead bartender.
2. Pre-competition things to do: (a) Select a captain for your team. Among other duties, this person will be responsible for turning in your answer sheets. (b) Write your team name and captain on the Answer Sheets. (c) All mobile phones, PDA’s will be silenced and stowed. No electronic device may be used during the rounds. 
3. The Trivia Competition will consist of 25 questions: 5 rounds with 5 questions in each round. Questions will be read twice only. Teams will be given 2 minutes to answer each question. In the event of a tie, a bonus question will be provided for the tie breaker.
4. Maximum team size is 4 persons. If you are smart enough to go with less...so be it! Once a player has left the competition they will not be allowed to rejoin until the completion of the current round of questions. 
5. Correct spelling on the answer sheets is not required, however, answers must be legible, and the quiz master/judges must be able to easily recognize your answers. More than one answer per question will automatically be scored as incorrect unless there are multiple answers. 
6. Answer sheets will be collected and tallied at the completion of each round. Team scores will be announced at the end of each round. The Judging panel has the final say on any disputed answers.
7. Between each Round will be a short intermission. Devices may be used during intermission but must be silenced and stowed prior to beginning the following round.
8. There is no polling the audience and/or no phone a friend. Resource materials and electronic devices (computers, mobile phones, PDAs, etc.) are strictly prohibited for use at the tables. Use of electronic device is grounds for immediate disqualification for the entire team.  Should it be necessary for you to use your cell phone for a call, you are asked to leave the room and will not be permitted to re-enter until the end of that round. 
9. Keep your team discussions to a low roar unless you want the neighboring team to eavesdrop, or alternatively, discuss loudly an incorrect answer and hope they WILL be eavesdropping. Anything goes. Team taunting is allowed.
