Join us for trivia night! We play at Dudley's in Shirlington. We get there around 6:15pm give or take to eat beforehand. The trivia company (Pour House Trivia) that hosts there has rules that if you want to win a prize only 7 people max can play per team. Hence, we have been playing as the SuperNovas with 7 people. Due to our group growing, on select nights, we will play with two teams, another team of 7 people max called the Innovations. We will only do two teams if at least 10 people have signed up on a give night. I will only open it up to two teams if I see there are at least 3 people on the waitlist. If you don't get one of the first 7 spots, but hope to play on the second team, still sign up via the waitlist as I'm only opening it up to two teams if I see enough people on the waitlist. This may not be done until the day of, but be prepared to check for updates the day of and come if so. In general, you cannot attend trivia if not on the going list. Also, you may be asked to switch tables the night of to balance out numbers in case others no show so that both teams have a chance at winning. Please do not take personally as each team is equal.

The teams will be assigned as follows:

1\. Default ordering\. The first 7 people $spots 1\-7$ who sign up are on the SuperNovas Team and the second 7 people $spots 8\-14$ who sign up are on the Innovations Team\.
2\. Free for all seating\. Jillian will post this in a comment the day of the event\, so feel free to sit at whichever table you want\.
3\. Assigned teams\. Jillian will post this in a comment the day of the event who is on each team that day\.

The venue has begun letting us reserve tables. We have two high top tables reserved in the bar area. One is the second one along the back wall. The other is two tables away from it, closer to the bar, with one high top in between us. The tables will have the team names on them.

Trivia starts promptly at 7:00pm. It is preferred that you come before 7:00pm to mingle and be on time, but it is acceptable for you to trickle in, so long as you are there by 7:00pm. Being late is not encouraged as the game is already starting and we want to have our full team on time to try to win. Most of us eat dinner there and that is also why I get there early to be done eating before we play. You don't have to eat or drink, but it would encouraged to do one or other to support the venue. Playing itself is free.

There is plenty of free parking in the lot behind it or in the three level garage behind it and to the right. Please note, the second and third floors of the garage are only accessible from the side street of South Quincy Street. If you are in the main lot, to get there turn right, right, and right into the second story lot. There is other free street and garages near the venue as well.

This is not a meetup for you to sign up for if you truly don't intend on coming. We want to have people who are serious about trivia and preferably good at it. Dudley's recently changed their prize structure from individual gift cards to team gift cards. We are figuring out how to implement. If we come in first place, we win a $100 gift card for the team. If we come in second place, we win a $50 gift cards for the team. If we come in third or fourth place, we get a $25 gift card for the team. We may split gift cards the night of or hold for a future week to use for all. You may or may not get free money even if you win that night. We are not happy with their new prize structure as it makes it harder to split the prize. Please bear with us as we figure out how to split. So please only sign up if you intend on coming. No shows will be flagged as such and not permitted to attend again without an explanation and or put on waitlist for future events.

New people who sign up will be sent a private message by Jillian asking you to confirm if you are coming to the event you signed up for. If you don't respond, you may be bumped and put on the waitlist until you respond as we don't want open spots when players who show up were on the waitlist and missed a chance to play because you didn't communicate/failed to show up.

The best players and those who have come the most will be personally invited to spots at the semi-finals and tournaments.

This meetup is open to those 18 and up. We understand stuff comes up, and sometimes you can't come the day of. If you RSVP and can no longer make it, please update your RSVP to not coming by 3:00pm on the day of the event, so someone from the wait list can potentially get a spot.

Even if the event if full, still feel free to RSVP as some will cancel and you can then get off the wait list! If on the wait list, pay attention to the meetup throughout the day of the event, as you may likely get a spot. If you get off the wait list, you are expected to attend. If you get off the wait list, but cannot attend, update RSVP to no. See you there!
