How it worked: • Each Wednesday a new set of 60 questions was posted at trackstrivia.com. • Players could play in teams with the people they live with or people over the internet or by themselves. • Teams would write their answers on the answer sheet provided and email a photo of their answers to [email protected]. • They’d receive a score out of 60 for the week. • At the end of 6 weeks, each team’s top 4 score were counted toward an overall total and an overall winner was crowned. • For teams with fewer than 4 players, a bonus was applied to their scores. How it really works: Play however you want. Have fun.
