.
14. How long does the trivia night last?
The evening is estimated to last 3-4 hours.
15. What are mulligans?
In the context of a trivia contest, a "mulligan" is essentially a free pass or a do-over that teams can use to compensate for incorrect answers.
Purchase: Teams usually have the option to purchase mulligans before the contest begins. Each participant is able to purchase one mulligan. Mulligans are $10 each. You are able to purchase via GiveSmart or with cash at the event.
Usage: During the three rounds, if a team provides an incorrect answer, they can use a mulligan to count that question as correct instead.
Scoring: When a mulligan is used, the team is awarded the points for that question as if they had answered correctly. This can be a strategic tool to help teams stay competitive, especially if they are unsure about certain answers.
Strategy: Using them too early in the game might leave them without any free passes for tougher questions later, while saving them for too long might result in unused mulligans if they are confident in their answers throughout.
