Jan 30th 2012

I've decided that every week I'll try to upload the trivia rounds from the previous week so that you all can get a feel for what goes on every week. Feel free to leave comments about the types of themes you'd like to see in the coming weeks. The format for most Trivia rounds is as follows:

Round 1: Themed Trivia Round, Questions are Announced

Round 2: Picture Round, Questions are on a paper where the contestant must guess something about the picture.

Round 3: Themed Trivia Round, Questions are Announced

Round 4: Music Round, Themed Songs are played over the loud speaker and contestant must guess certain things about the songs.

I'm still figuring out this blogger thing so bare with me while I get it together! =]
