Golly, That Was Fun!

Reports are coming in from Tuesday’s Quizz Night (sponsored by the Middlebury College Film Club) and the general consensus is: it was fun!

Now, we are looking for Quizz Masters who will run the games each week. Responsibilities will include finding the questions, grading the answers, MC-ing the game, and–most importantly–making it fun for everyone. If you think you are up to the task, email Barbara Doyle-Wilch: bdoylewi [at] middlebury [dot] edu. Okie doke?

Oh, and for everyone’s future reference, here are the Official Quizz Night Rules. Yeah. We gotta have rules, people!

1.     Teams may be comprised of no more than six physically present individuals. No other people besides the team members can be at your table.

2.     No outside help for questions, and no inanimate team members. Please don’t call people on your cell phones, download web pages on your PDAs or sneak in volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica in your shorts.

3.     The quizmaster is the final arbiter of truth, beauty, fashion, justice and all questions and other matters of Pub Trivia policy. Even if the results appear unfair, inaccurate, rude or obscenely biological, don’t argue. It won’t help.

4.     Any rule not included herein may be created on the spot by the quizmaster and enforced with brutal abandon.

5.     The game is composed of two rounds of fifteen questions each. At the end of the first round, you’ll turn in your answers, we’ll grade them, and then make fun of your scores. After that, we’ll give a plate of tapas to the winning team.

6.     In the event of a tie, the tied teams shall be asked a tie-breaker question. The team with the correct (or closest to correct) answer will win the round. In the unlikely event that more than one team puts down the same winning answer, the round will go to the team that gets me their winning answer first.

7.     At the end of the evening, we’ll total up the scores and the team with the most points will win the pot.
