Slow and steady

For the Trivia Competition I have (and will remain at) 6 categories.  There are as follows:

                     Spells

                                                       Characters

                      Mythical Creatures

   Hogwarts

                                       Magical Objects

                Dark Arts



So far the game play starts with 16 people in the first round.  If I can manage to procure enough questions, we may even put in an additional round, starting with 32 people.  We'll see how it goes.  But for now I have room only for 16 contestants in the first round, then being decreased to 8 in the second, 4 in the third, and 2 in the fourth and final round, then one ultimate champion.

As of now I am about 1/4 of my way through coming up with questions.  As soon as I recruit more judges I'll have plenty more in no time.

Some of the questions range in difficulty.  Also, most questions will be straight-forward, black and white, right or wrong answers, but some may require an explanation in the answer.  I'll talk more about this in a later entry.

I plan to hold tryouts to pick contestants in early October and have the actual competition in late October.  There will be a minimal fee if you are selected as one of the contestants (at the MOST $5) and this is just so that I can buy prizes for the first and second place winners.  I also want to give away a small consolation prize for those who participated.

Stay posted because in my next entry I'll talk about the prizes we'll give away!
