Attention, smart-asses and know-it-alls: here is your chance to emerge from the bowels of our comments section and into the spotlight. OC Weekly and Pop Quiz Trivia are joining forces for a one-of-a-kind pub trivia tournament this September. Teams of two to six players have the chance to win our grand prize of $1,000 American. 'Murica!
Teams are invited to compete in one of the four preliminary rounds, and if you have what it takes, to advance to our final round. The first round of prelims will be held at Kelly's Korner in Placentia and the Anthill Pub & Grille at UC Irvine on Sept. 25. The second round of prelims will be held at the Olde Ship in SanTana and Slater's 50/50 in Huntington Beach on Oct. 2. You only need to participate in one preliminary round to be eligible to advance to the finals. The top teams from each location (probably top 3, but let's see how this goes) will be invited to participate in the final round on Oct. 9 at a location to be announced.
The first prize winners will receive $1,000 cash, the second place team takes home $500 and third place wins the prestigious award of a set of steak knives, probably bought from the Cypress Swap Meet. Depending on how many freaks participate, we might make this an annual event, and bump up the moolah next time around—BOOM.
Participation is free, but your team must register at www.playpopquiz.com before Sept. 28.
We at the Weekly consider ourselves a bunch of smart-asses too, so Weeklings may participate in the competition but are ineligible to win the prizes. They are, however, permitted to slaughter the Special Olympics as they see fit.
And now, some motivation for all players:
See you there!
