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.

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.

Simple question: How will the nine topics to be played the game be determined? I'm sure you'll get a good variety across the categories, but since we can't cover them all 20, what process will you use? Reply #3. Jan 23 13, 6:49 PM |

As a suggestion: Let each registered player submit one subcategory, then randomly draw nine of them with no two allowed from the same team or root category. Reply #4. Jan 23 13, 6:51 PM |

I know the pre-built ones although we're never using them with the Cat People (we do have our own custom selection we're running every day, general stuff plus anything related to cats). I agree you do want the cheat protection just in case, so I suppose you might just want to pick a broad spectrum of nine different topics at intermediate to advanced level. Of those 12 that have different difficulty levels, removing General (it's supposed to be Heroes-style) and probably Celebrities (somewhat covered through Music, Movies and People) would leave just one more than needed.

The last one to go might be World (somewhat infringes on Geo / History). I guess that's how I would build it if it were my tourney - but it's all your call of course :) Reply #10. Jan 24 13, 2:03 AM |

Indeed. It's just the name I use to log in on a lot of sites (I would have probably picked something else had I known I would be here for more than just playing and occasionally writing quizzes) Reply #14. Jan 24 13, 6:17 PM |
