I want to get started in this...but I dont understand how I enter my answers...help please.

Welcome aboard, drummerkittie. To play in the Trivia Rounds, just send a PM to the person who posted the round of questions. For example, I just posted questions for Round 15. To answer, just click on my username and submit your answers. Be careful not to post your answers here in the forums by mistake! You get 10 points for submitting an answer that no one else submits, and you receive 5 points for submitting the same answer as another player. The "host" of the round (in this example, me), usually posts the answers/scores of the round in 2 or 3 days. I hope you decide to play, but if you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Enjoy!

To send a pm, click on the name of the person (littlewoman2, for instance,) then click at the bottom where it says "send a pm". Fill in your answers, putting the name of the quiz at the top.

Thanks...I have summitted my answers!!!

Has anyone heard from Exit? She's been MIA all month. I'm gettin' kinda worried. (but then again, I am paranoid.)

Exit10's tips have been posted (as usual) all month in the AFL and NRL tipping comps, so I think she's been around the site, just not in Trivia Rounds.

Ahh, okay. Good to know.

I am sure the trivia rounds will soon straighten out!
