So we learned a lot at Harry Potter Trivia Night at Kochendorfer! Here's what we're looking at going forward:
Even if it's rainy, and there's football, and we didn't see a bunch of responses online, DOES NOT MEAN WE SHOULDN'T EXPECT A CROWD!
Bring more clipboards and answer sheets! (We've never run out of clipboards and answer sheets before! Another giant box of clipboards is on order as we speak.)
We should have an online form/back up plan in case we run out again.
That we should add an intermission to our trivia nights! As I've run trivia nights, the content has grown. More rounds, more questions, more bonus point opportunities. So a break or two so that people can grab food, a drink, run to the restroom is desperately needed.
Throat lozenges so that my voice doesn't crack!
Figure out how to get more/better pictures.
Streamline the scoring process so it can be done quicker.
Another Harry Potter trivia night! (Possibly expert mode? N.E.W.T.s anyone?)
The night was amazing! We had our second-ever tie-breaker round between Team Roonil Wazlib and Team Boney Pony Club. Roonil Wazlib came out on top after two questions, with the winning question being: "How many staircases does Hogwarts have?" (142). Our funniest team name prize went to Team Neville Powerbottom. I'd the pictures of our AMAZING winners here, but I took horrible blurry pictures because I didn't realize my phone was on night mode. (see item 6 above).
