Monday Night Quiz

Every Monday night at 9pm in the King’s Arms, St Mary’s St, Bedford.

 The quiz has been running for over 4 years and is a challenging and enjoyable team based quiz.

 Cost: £1 per team member, no limit on team size

 Main Quiz Format:

There are usually 5 or 6 rounds of 12 questions. Categories used in the past include; general knowledge, picture round, music, sport, entertainment, current & topical, dead or alive, history, anagrams, ditloids, dingbats, tv themes, cryptic clue round.

Each team can play a joker before the start of one round to earn double points for that round.

There is often a bonus round in place of a standard round, which is worth more than 12 points and on which jokers cannot be played. Examples include: match Christmas No 1s to the correct year, match monarchs to the years of their reigns, label the counties on a map.

In addition to the main quiz there are two further prizes available:

 Landlord’s Round – One question. The team with the correct answer or the closest to the correct answer win a free round of drinks. In the event of a draw, the winners of the main quiz select at random a winner from the eligible teams.

Jackpot – One question, usually very difficult. The winning team wins a cash prize. Each week that passes without a winner adds £10 to the prize fund. The prize starts at £50 and is capped at £300. In the event of a draw, the teams concerned can either opt to answer a deciding question or to split the money. If any team wants to split the money, that is the final outcome.

The quizmaster’s decision is final. Quibbling is allowed and can add to the enjoyment of the quiz, but the final decision on whether an answer is accepted or not rests with the quizmaster. Anyone not wishing to accept this should think very carefully before attending the quiz.
