The Game: 

Trivia will last approximately 2 hours with 7-10 rounds of 3 questions per round.  Each round will have a question worth 5, 3, and 1 point(s) respectively.  At the end of each round, individual Trivia Teams determine the value of each question for their respective team. Suggested, Trivia Teams wager higher point value (i.e. 5) the more confident the Trivia Team is of the answer and wager less point value (i.e. 1) when less confident.  Trivia Teams will have one song after each round to haggle over the answers and points value.  If a Trivia Team member knows the answer to a question but doesn’t know the word in English, write the answer down in the known foreign language. 

Once the round is over, signaled by the end of the song, Trivia Teams will exchange their answer sheet with another team.  If there are an odd number of teams, at least one set of teams will have to do a 3-way switch.  Once the Trivia Teams have switched their answer sheets, the Trivia Host will read each of the 3 answers aloud.  After the answers have been read aloud, the answer sheets will be passed back to the Trivia Team the sheet belongs to.  If the correct answer to a question was written in a foreign language the Trivia Team should provide proof of translation (e.g. google) to the scoring team.  Any disputes should be brought to the Trivia Host for final ruling.  At the end of each round, and after scoring, answer sheets will be provided to the Trivia Host for recording and public tallying. 

There will be a 3 song break halfway through for a comfort pause and team beverage refills. 

If there is a tie at the end of the evening, the Trivia Host will commence with elimination round(s) until one Trivia Team emerges victorious.  The winning team will receive a prize provided by the Carlisle Barracks MWR. 

The Rules:

1. Maximum 6 people per team.  Mixed teams (i.e. student/faculty/spouse) teams are allowed.
2. Team names should be appropriate for the venue.  A subtly funny team name is allowed but offensive team names will need to be changed.
3. Spelling doesn’t count.  
4. Trivia night is intended to be a fun evening of “networking” and testing your team’s knowledge or ability to guesstimate.  HONOR SYSTEM rules apply – NO outside help of any kind to include, but is not limited to cellphones, phoning a friend, texting a friend, or using the know-it-all google.  If a Trivia Team Member pulls out a cell phone it should be for answering a text from children. 
5. Please do not shout out the answers.  Trivia night is about testing team knowledge not team volume control.
6. Once the Trivia Host has made a decision, the ruling is final.
