This virtual blog will function as a meeting place for discussion centered around this Invitational so that facebook users and non-facebook users alike can enjoy the competition together. We already have over 100 players registered representing 24 FunTrivia teams. Please see the game details (originally included in our Wit's End facebook event posting):
Wit's End, a private tournament hosted by Funtrivia.com, invites you to our first Team Heroes Open Invitational.

This challenge is based on the Team Heroes game design at FunTrivia.com:

2. Your team score is the average of your top 5 scoring team players.
3. Your participation cannot lower your team score.
Team Heroes games will run every third day at Wit's End (
http://www.funtrivia.com/private/main.cfm?tid=37636) during the month of February and will include only pre-built categories (to ensure fair play). You will have nine opportunities to score for your team on Feb 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, and 27.
TEAM AFFILIATION:
Any players that are members of exisitng FunTrivia teams may represent those teams.

Alternatively, players may request to form a team of their own.

"Fierce" and "bloody" is right! And yes, my head is spinning and rollng and kind of wobbling. You are a brave, brave man for taking this one, Kyle! I think I need a nap... Reply #164. Feb 06 13, 3:57 PM |

Akbar and Babur the Elephant? I always get that one wrong. Actually I'm pretty sure the question revolves so that whichever answer I select is always the wrong one. ;) Reply #166. Feb 06 13, 5:41 PM |

Would you have an easier time with U.S. Presidents Floppy? Reply #167. Feb 06 13, 6:55 PM |

Very probably. I have learned a lot about the bathtime habits of US Presidents since I signed up for FT, not to mention their wives' predilictions for lemonade and occasionally their children's writing habits. I'm sure it's all fascinating stuff, though not nearly as nasty as the things we used to do to our kings. ;) Reply #168. Feb 06 13, 7:34 PM |

And I have learned a lot about the English kings...and queens! Some of them have lost their heads! Reply #170. Feb 06 13, 8:10 PM |

And one had a red hot poker inserted into his anatomy... which is probably a lot worse than losing your head, at least to start with. ;) Reply #171. Feb 06 13, 8:30 PM |

Dear Kyle. you haven't taken into account that some players, myself among them, are not American. Questions should be universal. Geography and History were great but American TV songs are for people who live there. I never watch American TV but I know American History, Literature and geography. Think about it. Reply #175.

Dear Kyle, you haven't thought that a lot of players are from different parts of the world and not only from the U.S.Geography and History were great as they combined local with universal subjects but TV songs are for American people as I never watch American TV as I don't live there. Please think about it. Reply #176. Feb 07 13, 7:04 AM |

I think this is a most fantastic tourney you are running, Kyle...thanks a ton for undertaking this and good luck for the whole month :) papo, games for all days are not considered for the tourney if you meant topics for specific days...the tourney is only every 3rd day and I think the topics chosen for these days are quite general in nature...like you, most of my team (except 1) are from outside the US, but I haven't heard the US-specific question thing from anybody on my side...
