Teams Can Earn a Save

Support your favorite team on April 18 at the annual Trivia Competition. Questions are due by Sunday, April 12 at noon.


For each 10 questions submitted, a “Save” may be designated to your favorite trivia team to use, if necessary, during the 2026 regular trivia rounds. “Saves” do not apply to tie-breakers.


There is no limit to the number of questions you can submit. See the submission guidelines.


In addition, anyone submitting 10 questions will have their name placed in a prize drawing at the event. Questions may not be used during the competition; however, a "Save" will be assigned to your favorite team and you will earn an entry to the prize drawing.
