Playing rules... (from www.albanyteamtrivia.com)

20 Questions.
Each one is worth points. The higher the points, the tougher the question.

Write down your answer and hand it in.

•  Don't shout out any answers. Don't forget to include your team number.
•  Correct answers = plus points.
•  Incorrect answers = minus points.
•  Up to two questions can be skipped. If you don't want to take a chance, write down "skip" and hand it in.
• Double and triple bonus questions.
•  On question #20, every team bets against their own score.
•  Just like on that TV game show, we'll read off a category. Each team bets, hands in wager. We ask the final question and you write down the answer.
•   Please ... no use of PDAs or cell phones to surf the 'net or call a friend. You already have a bunch of friends helping you ... they're called teammates.
•  Then, every team's score through 19 questions will be saved and added to the future week's scores. The team with the highest score at the end of the six weeks will win a trackside BBQ and a race named after their team...
