A seafarer’s quiz
1. Decide in advance how many teams you can accommodate, how you will seat
them and how much you will charge. Teams of four work quite well and, with
basic refreshment at the interval, you might charge £5 or £6 per team. With, say,
20 teams and with any prizes and refreshments donated, this would give you an
income of £100/£120.
2. Decide on what refreshment to offer at the interval. Tea or coffee and biscuits or
perhaps a ploughman’s meal (on cardboard plates!) or something more elaborate if
you wish. Adjust the charge accordingly. Decide whether to provide drinks (and, if
so, how to serve them) or whether to allow teams to bring their own.
A scorer – to mark each round while the subsequent round is taking place.
A recorder – to record each score and a running total for each team
At least two stewards – to collect the team sheets after each round and give to the
scorer.
5. Plan for a break for refreshments - say, after round five. Don’t let the quizmaster
allow teams too much time for each answer. Remember, allowing only one
minute for each answer, plus a few minutes for collecting the answer sheets and
announcing the scores, builds up to about 15 minutes per round. With a break for
refreshments, this could give a total evening of three hours. If you think this is too
long, consider cutting out one or two rounds.
6. Prepare enough answer sheets - with space for each team name, the round number
and spaces 1 – 6 for answers.
Also, prepare sheets for the scorer and recorder to register the result of each round
for each team and to keep the cumulative score as the quiz progresses. Announce
the scores and the totals for each team after the subsequent round (i.e. after round
three – give the result of round two and the team totals so far.)
