SHAPE ON-LINE QUIZ
Event Information
About this Event
OVERVIEW
Originally created for the first period of social distancing, I have restarted the virtual pub quizzes via Zoom. All confirmed dates are listed on Eventbrite and our private FB Group which you must join to enter the quiz. Please be aware it is possible to purchase a ticket from Eventbrite but you will not recieve essential quiz info if you are not a member of the private group. If someone does not use facebook, there is the possibility that another team member forwards the relevant information as and when.

It is for SHAPE Members plus friends and family. If you are invited you can play. Maximum in a team is 6. (Your team members do not need to be in the same place or even the same country. Anywhere will do as long as participants have internet access. PC's give a better experience but tablet or phone is also possible. Just be aware that players on a 4g connection have suffered bandwith issues in the past.
There ar no prizes. It’s for fun only. It is a not-for-profit quiz and will last approximately 90 mins. Teams should purchase a ticket according to the number of players in their team. The cost will cover the minimum expenses with all additional monies being donated to charitable causes
Grab a glass of something, think of a funky team name. Share the post with friends and let’s have a bit of fun.
HOW TO TAKE PART
To participate in the quiz, you will need to:
• Get a ticket on the event page no later than 30 mins on the day of the quiz.
Join this group ..... https://www.facebook.com/groups/shapequiz
• Access the free version of Zoom https://www.zoom.us or get the App in your App Store. Download it and get it working in plenty of time. Once you have it working on either your pc, laptop, phone or tablet, you will be able to join me from 19H45 (18H45 UK) on the day by clicking the link on the email you receive once you have subscribed to the event. You can choose whether to appear on video or just audio.
• Please familiarise yourself with Zoom. It looks and works slightly differently on each device type. Desktop or Laptops give the best experience but works also on tablets or phones. There is also a chat function. Make sure when you chat you select an 'individual' or ‘Everyone’ depending on your needs.
If all of your team members are not co-located
You will also need a separate method of communication for your team. Groups created on WhatsApp, Skype & Facebook Messenger work well.
HOW THE QUIZ WORKS
Before the quiz:
Although the quiz starts at 20H15, I will need all participants registered by 19H45 (18H45 UK) as I will be emailing the link to the Zoom ‘meeting’ The email will contain:
• Meeting ID Number and Password
• Answer sheets
• Handout for picture / written round.
Each team will need to choose one person to complete your answer sheets which I would like emailed to me by 11H00 the following day..
If you download the PDFs, you can fill them in on a PC / laptop or print them and fill in by hand. I only need one per team sent to me by your scribe to drgaway@hotmail.com once we have finished.
During the quiz:
I will read the questions with everyone on mute. Questions will also be posted in chat except for the Picture and Music rounds.
After 3 rounds I will give you the answers to rounds 1-3 followed by a 10 min break to re-fill your glasses.
Rounds 4-6 follow along the same lines and after I will give the answers along with Round 7 the picture round sent out by email in advance.
The next Day.
I will collate the scores and email the results table.
Rules:
There is no point cheating by using anything other than your team’s brains. I really cannot stipulate this enough. It is just for fun and to take your minds off this extraordinary time – there is no prize money. Please don’t cheat!
One purchased; tickets will not be refunded.
Zoom is free for participants. As a host I have purchased the premium edition.
Final word:I hope you have lots of fun. Remember, some others may be less familiar with the software so please be patient.
I am open to suggestions to make the quiz better. You can share them with me at any time by using teh FB Group, by email or WhatsApp +33 749374 656.
