Registered Team Rules
Official rules for registered teams participating in tournaments.
Team Registration
- Teams must register through the WhatTrivia website to track their scores and participate in tournaments.
- Each registered team receives a unique team code that must be given to the host at the start of each event.
- Team names must be appropriate for all ages and venues. WhatTrivia reserves the right to reject inappropriate team names.
Leaderboard Points
Points are accumulated by attending trivia events. At the beginning of the game, write your team name and WhatTrivia Team Code on the top sheet of your answer pad and hand it to the host.
You can only get leaderboard points on your first game of a week (Sunday through Saturday).
Points breakdown:
- 1st Place — 6 Points
- 2nd Place — 4 Points
- 3rd Place — 2 Points
- Any Other Place — 1 Point
Please note:
- You can only get points on your first appearance in a given week. If you play again later in the week and place higher, that will not count.
- If your team code "plays" multiple times in the same night (e.g., sending players to multiple locations), the first event submitted by the host time-wise is used for placement.
Tournament Eligibility
- Teams must have attended a minimum number of qualifying events to be eligible for tournament play.
- Tournament standings are based on accumulated points throughout the qualifying period.
- Teams must register their team code at the beginning of each event to receive points. You cannot wait until the results are announced.
Team Composition
- Teams may have any number of registered members, but only up to 8 players may participate at any single event.
- Team members may change throughout the season, but the team code remains the same.
- During tournament finals, teams may be required to submit a roster of players who will compete.
