- Each member of the team will submit an answer (vs. one answer for the whole team).

- Once time is up for each question, all individual scores for the team are averaged together to calculate the overall team score.

Each question is worth 100 points except for the Bonus Question, which is worth 250 points. The faster you answer the questions the more points you will get if your answer is correct.

BBBS can provide you with your team and individual scores afterwards. Please contact Ally at BBBS at asweeney@bbbs-mv.org or at 563-323-8006 for your scores.
12. Who can be on my team?
You can recruit anyone to be on your trivia team. We suggest having a variety of different ages on your team to cover more topics. Teams can be comprised of players locally, regionally or nationally.
With this being a virtual platform, friends, family, past college buddies, neighbors, co-workers, club members and more can play from their home or place of business in another town or state. Great way to reconnect or unite with people that you haven’t seen in awhile.
