Tournament of Champions Rules 2026

We will have 4 Tournaments in 2026!

TOURNAMENT #1 Earning period for points will be from January 4th-February 28th. Tournament will be held on March 15th

· Teams must have no more than 6 players

· Teams may play trivia at any qualifying venue (qualifying venues listed below) they choose, and as many times as they want per week. There is always new trivia every night. The more you play in a week, the more points you will earn!

· Teams must use the same team name everywhere they play. Your team name must include a 4 digit number at the end. Think of it as a PIN number. THIS IS KEY AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE IT IS ON YOUR SHEET! Sheets without your PIN number next to your name will NOT be counted. (FOR EXAMPLE: if your team name is usually “Brain Freeze”, during the tournament choose your name to be “Brain Freeze 5843”) so we definitely don’t have multiple teams with the same name

· Any team caught cheating will automatically be excluded from the tournament

· Points can only be earned once per night per team name/PIN number. For example a team may not split into 2 teams in order to earn points at the same location on the same night nor can a team split into 2 and go to different locations on the same night to earn points. This includes Music Bingo

· Locations will continue to provide their normal nightly prizes during tournament play as well as prizes for the actual Tournament held on October 19th.

· Tournament points are earned as follows: 1st place gets 4 points, 2nd place gets 3 points, 3rd place gets 2 points, all other teams get 1 point for showing up and playing the full trivia game

· Your team can also gain tournament points by playing Music Bingo. Your team will only earn 1 point for each bingo game you WIN. You do not receive points just for attending. You must tell the host your trivia team name/PIN number if you win a bingo so you will receive your point

· The top 15 teams with the most tournament points will be invited to the tournament. If for any reason one of the top 15 teams can’t participate in the tournament, the next team in line will be invited to attend.
