Once the time for creating questions is over you then draw a Grid on the board

Numbers at top is the rounds

Letters are the Teams

Put the Xs in!

Round One Begins Round 1 begins with a member of Team A coming up and asking their best 3 questions (only 3 because you don’t want duplicates later, that’s why they compete 12!) First to answer correctly gains a mark for their team Team A cannot answer their own round, hence the X!

Round 1 begins with a member of Team A coming up and asking their best 3 questions

(only 3 because you don’t want duplicates later, that’s why they compete 12!)

First to answer correctly gains a mark for their team

Team A cannot answer their own round, hence the X!

Scoring After Round 1, The Grid could look like this: Team B have got 1 right Team C have got 2 correct (1 + 1) X 4 D X 1 1 C X 1 B X A 3 2 1

After Round 1, The Grid could look like this:

Team B have got 1 right

Team C have got 2 correct (1 + 1)

Next… Continue on until all rounds have been played and hopefully you will have found a winner It works best with a lot of teams In this example Team C win with 5 correct X 1 1 1 4 2 1 1 D 5 X 1 1 1 C 2 1 X 1 B 3 1 1 X A 3 2 1

Continue on until all rounds have been played and hopefully you will have found a winner

It works best with a lot of teams

In this example Team C win with 5 correct

Different variations of scoring and answering can take place Wrong answers can mean a mark taken off Or you can increase number of questions asked You can even include a bonus round of questions asked by you which may be worth double points
