Since we're playing in an international contest - Canada is too a sovereign state! - we can't impose our format everywhere else. I'm all for Geek Imperialism, but democracy is better for making friends and keeping the better forms of consensual sex legal.
Here's how its gunna work: The quiz will consist of five rounds of ten questions.
Round 1: one point per correct answer
Round 2: two points per correct answer
Round 3: three points per correct answer
Round 4: four points per correct answer
Round 5: five points per correct answer
Total points in quiz: 150.
Sorry, but there's NO JOKER.
However, you can have up to EIGHT PLAYERS ON YOUR TEAM. Yes, for one night only the six per team rule is suspended so if you think you've already got a full squad, you don't. Staff up.
The difficulty will progress from easy to impossible, hence the scaling point system. There will be one round of music and no visual round.
Finally, we've got some last minute bandwagon jumpers. The following cities will also be participating:
Chicago: Streeters Tavern, 50 East Chicago Avenue
Atlantic City: AC Bar and Grill on Pacific Avenue
Baltimore: Down Under Sports Bar
In addition to Philly, Seattle, Washington DC, Toronto and Ottawa that makes, yep, nine cities up in this mofo.
$300 for first place, $150 for second.
Win!
