Official CC Summer Olympics Bash Live Chat Trivia! (whew)
Brought to you by the Entertainment Team

In celebration of the Olympics, the Entertainment Team will be hosting not one, but TWO Olympics Trivia Contest in Live Chat! Keep readin' for the specs.

When & Where

There will be two chances for you to use your Olympics expertise to claim a prize! Each one will be on the day of the Opening and Closing ceremony of the Olympics. The exact times are as follows:

Opening Ceremony (First event): CC Time: 2012-07-27 10:00:00
Closing Ceremony (Second Event): CC Time: 2012-08-12 17:00:00

I've spread the times into CC Time morning and evening so we can (hopefully) get as many participants as possible! If you'd like to participate, simply join Live Chat a few minutes before we begin, look for the Event Tab (you'll know it when you see it!) and await further instruction from myself or another Special Event Volunteer.

Structure

Each Trivia contest will test your trivial knowledge of Olympic potpourri, however, they will each be different! Below is the breakdown on what to expect from which:

Opening Ceremony Trivia:

that does NOT pertain to

Closing Ceremony Trivia:

London 2012 Olympics specifically.

Now that you know what you'll be tested on, let's talk about how it's gonna' work:

Each event will be comprised of 30 Trivia Questions.
Being the first person to give the most correct answer will earn that player 1 Point to their running total.
The 10th and 20th Questions will be special "Clue" questions! Everyone in the room will be given hints staggered over a short time to "lead" you to the answer. The most correct answer will earn that player with 4 Points to their running total.

The player with the most points at the end of each Segment will be awarded their prizes, discussed below:

Prizes
Winners of the Event will receive 3 months Premium membership (each), an entry into the following Conquer Cup, and they will also be rewarded with a General Achievement Medal. Prizes are donated by the Entertainment team.

Notes

Any issues will be solved by the event organiser and his/her word is final.
During the event, all standard Live Chat Guidelines still apply!
For simplicity, please refrain from using any bolded, italicized, crossed out, underlined, or colored text to make it easier for the Coordinators to see what's going on!
In the event of a tie, a tiebreaker round will be held among the tied participants. The first tied player to 3 points will claim ultimate trivia victory!
Have fun with it!

one thing guys, regarding the official games, is there not going to be any team games? i only see standard or assassin?

by **rdsrds2120** on Mon Jul 23, 2012 12:40 pm

There were some team games, but it looks like they may have been taken quickly. It's a really quick first-come first-serve, sorry!

Don't worry though, there's still some other ways to get some medals/premium via the tournaments.
