The quizmasters’ word is final. Disputes are not allowed. Members must treat each other politely. Raised voices and arguments will not be tolerated.
We play in teams with members picked from ‘a hat’ on the night so that folk are not always in the same team. There is an annual prize for the member with most points. To this end points will be awarded at each meeting as follows:
Winners = 5, second place = 4, third place = 3, fourth place = 2, quizmaster = 5, everyone else = 1.
All members of the team will get the same points but as individuals.
All group members are expected to take their turn at compiling quizzes & being quizmaster. Members can pair up for this if they prefer.
A list of dates & compilers will be drawn up for the year ahead. Members can swap slots if necessary.
If, as quizmaster, you are unable to attend please let Jean, the Group Co-ordinator, know ASAP.
All quizzes will have 50 questions & can be in any format or combination ie. printed, read out, PowerPoint (the u3a projector & screen would be required as there is no blank wall), audio (music, spoken word, noises) pictures, objects, whatever.
Quizzes may be themed, grouped by subject, all general knowledge, use Jokers or not (Jean has Joker cards) – it is entirely up to the Quizmaster.
We currently have a maximum of six teams so quizmasters are asked to please print twelve to eighteen copies of each round. Quizmasters will receive £5 towards printing costs.
If they wish, the Quizmaster may have an additional table top round. Teams can complete these throughout the evening & their mark will be added to their final score.
We take a short break approximately half way through the quiz.
Members to be available to form teams to represent u3a Gosport in local/regional quizzes.
