Trivia Time Trial Rules

No. In order to score you must ask questions. If you get 8 right and only ask 5 questions, then you only get 5 points.

In order for a "correct answer" to count you need to ask a question.

I understand that. I was asking because under those rules, I believe I should have won for October.

Doh! I misunderstood your question. I don't have the time right now, but I'll double check the October results over the weekend to verify them.

EDIT: One thing to remember is that the October results are for all questions that ended in October.

I double checked & the automatically posted results for October are correct.

The results were:

WaCougMBS: 7
drunkmonkey: 6
Dan Lambskin: 4
grover99: 4
spodog: 2
dream_017: 1
jbbiggdogg: 1

Here are the 25 anwered questions that ended in October:

pick 6!: jbbiggdogg

what does that clock say again?: grover99

So the posted results are correct, but about 75% through typing this, I actually realized why you asked your question...so I misunderstood twice.

You knew the rules & you were wondering why WaCoug got credit for 7 questions in October, when he hasn't asked any questions all season. Correct? I'm going to assume that I knew what you meant now...so the answer to your original question should've been "no". You do not have to ask questions for your answers to count in the monthly standings. But you do have to ask questions for your answeres to count in the yearly standings.

Sorry for my confusion & please post or PM me if you have more questions!

Yes, that's the question I was trying to ask. Thanks for clearing that up.

So is the trivia time game pretty much DOA?

Actually, the trivia game is an allegory for the entire Cafe. Both are member-powered.
