Books and Literature Trivia Night!

From the Producer

bbsa — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 21:59:28 +0000

Friends,

I regret to inform you that I will no longer be able to continue Books and Literature Trivia Night.

I began this project in February of 2009 with Our Lady of Insipid Chat and several other players from the Yahoo! Chat service. Since that time, we have enjoyed each other’s company in ten-week trivia seasons.

The format of our trivia contest evolved to the point where it has become too time consuming to produce each week. I sincerely regret that other responsibilities (namely, university) have limited the time I have to spend producing content.

I hope that we can continue Books and Literature Trivia Night at some point in the future. Check our website occasionally for more information.

Please feel free to stay in contact with me! Drop me an email at westings@gmail.com. I wish you all the best.

BBSA

Executive Producer

Welcome to the Winter 2011 Season!

bbsa — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 19:54:15 +0000

Welcome to the Winter 2011 season of Books and Literature Trivia Night. We’re pleased to once again bring you the finest trivia experience on PalTalk. This season brings us 38 games of entertaining trivia and exciting competition over the next ten weeks.

The official rules have been updated with the following changes:

1. No Alternate Questions - After a stumper question, the microphone is passed to the next questioner in the reading order. This rule originated in music trivia and is intended to allow for a greater variety of questions.

2. Round Four PGP - During Round 4 of Individual Play, at least 40 points must be accumulated before any player may win the game. A player who has scored nine points with less than 40 points awarded during the round will not earn additional points. A counter will be displayed on the scoreboard. This season, the following six games will implement this rule: Round 4 on 1/7, 1/14, 1/28 (Music Trivia), 2/25, 3/4, and Round 2 on 3/11 (Music Trivia).

3. 50/50 Questions – During team rounds, team captains make a category selection when using a 50/50 lifeline.

Happy Holidays!
