I really think you have to be careful charging people for a quiz and giving opportunities for cheating to those with the advantage of the internet. People tend to find other pub quizzes if they feel cheated. I would, even if you aren't giving away COMPLETE rounds, but I guess you know what you are doing...
Pros and cons, Graham, pros and cons. It is a bit naughty, but will, I hope, serve as some sort of advert. I’ve also made damn sure that all contestants know about it; – in theory, the the amount of public terminals, it gives all a chance to have a look.
And as to putting a complete quiz up, well there’s a method to putting my used quizzes on the blog; – mostly because I know how hard it s for struggling quiz master to actually find halfway decent quizzes, especially themed ones.
Used quizzes are fine, what I'm saying is if I turned up to a quiz for the first time and found out some people had been given a chance to find out one or two answers, I would want my cash back and never go back to that quizmaster again. Maybe I'm too stroppy but I believe in fair play and an even chance.
I just think it could blow up in your face. And when you are trying to establish a quiz it may not be a good idea to take risks.
