Who would have thought that this year of pandemic could be a record-breaker for Bedford Dollars for Scholars Trivia Night?
There are 50 tickets remaining for the first virtual event, scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 6, at 7:30 p.m. The organization already has sold 150, and 200 participants would be a record for the seven-year-old fundraiser. Ticket sales end when they are sold out or on Feb. 2.
The donation is $25 per player. Registration is available at https://bedfordma.dollarsforscholars.org.
There will be teams of six to ten competitors. Each will submit answers to 10 questions plus one or two bonus questions.
The key to the process is the Zoom feature of breakout rooms. Stump! Trivia, the professional operator of the contest, will pre-arrange a separate screen for each team, so after questions players will be able to confer as if they were seated around a table at a live contest.
A team representative will have a special electronic address used to submit the answer. After each question, the competitors will be returned to the main “room” for the correct answer and the next question.
Teams will have the option of prioritizing their answers, so they can amass additional points as a reward for certainty.
