MKE League FAQs:

Do we pre-register, sign up online? 

Yes! Registration can be made below. If you don't register online your scores will not be counted at the bar.

What is our "league number"? 

Once your team registers below, you will be emailed a three-digit "league number". Be sure to include this after your team name (on your answer sheet) each time you play. This way you can change your team name each week (to try to win the "best team name" prize), but it'll still be easy for our Quizmasters to track your score.

Will our "league number" be the same as last time?
YES. For previous leagues we had teams register each time and assigned a new league number, but we're now changing that policy. To save us all a little time and to avoid confusion, the league number you were given for our last league (MKE League summer edition of 2017) will be yours until further notice! If you didn't play in the summer league you will have to register again to get a new number, but once you do that will be your number forever!

How does the scoring work?
Teams are awarded points for attendance and #winning also. Every time you show up and play a Quizmaster event you receive 10 league points. The top five teams at each quiz receive additional points too: 5 points for 1st place, 4 points for 2nd place, all the way down to 5th place. So for finishing 1st you get 15 league points, but you'd receive 10 league points for finishing 10th, so the gap is never too large.

Also, follow us on Facebook and Twitter to stay in the loop on scoring bonus points. Select venues may have additional points awarded for attending on any given night (i.e. 5 bonus points for teams at the Ale House tonight). 

Can we play anywhere?

Almost. Seeing as the 414 is our home base, this will be a mostly Milwaukee-based league. Venues to tally points include...

- Bavarian Bierhaus, Milwaukee, WI
- Brass Monkey, West Allis, WI
- Caffrey's Pub, Milwaukee, WI
- Camino, Milwaukee, WI
- Camp Bar (all locations --- Shorewood, Milwaukee and Wauwatosa, WI)
- Colectivo Lakefront Cafe (Milwaukee, WI)
- Jack's American Pub, Milwaukee, WI
- JB's on 41, Milwaukee, WI
- The Landing at Hoyt Park (beer garden), Wauwatosa, WI
- Loaded Slate, Milwaukee, WI
- Lucky Chance, West Allis, WI
- McGillycuddy's, Milwaukee, WI
- Milwaukee Ale House, Milwaukee, WI
- Milwaukee Brat House, Milwaukee, WI
- New Berlin Ale House, New Berlin, WI
- O'Lydias, Milwaukee, WI
- Red Lion Pub, Milwaukee, WI
- Red Rock Saloon, Milwaukee, WI
- Saz's State House, Wauwatosa, WI
- Three Lions Pub, Shorewood, WI
- Tosa Tavern (inside Whole Foods), Wauwatosa, WI
- Von Trier, Milwaukee, WI
- Whiskey Bar, Milwaukee, WI

Can we register late?
Yes! We understand some people may become aware of our awesome MKE League at a later date. No worries... you can register at anytime and still rack up points.

Can we back-date scores?
We're afraid not. If you had been playing Quizmaster but hadn't registered we can't backdate any score that would've counted. There's not a reliable system in place and way of us truly knowing what your scores were, so no dice we're afraid.

Is there a limit on how many times we play or play per week?
Nope. Rack up as many scores as you like. We want to award teams that are loyal and play a lot, hence why teams get 10 points just for showing up. Also, if you know you're going be out of action for a week or so you could perhaps hit the quiz circuit two or three times another week. So even if you SUCK big time, you've still got a chance of making the top 15.

Will teams be seeded (in the post season tournament)?
Yes, teams will have seeds that correspond to their league finish. This may result in additional perks at the post-season tournament and also just make it more fun when the one seed finishes 10th, haha.

Okay, how much is it? 
Zero dollars. Yes, sign up for the league is free, but players will still have to pay the $1/person entry on the night, where applicable. Hey, remember all those $1 fees go straight to your Quizmaster host... their beer money for the weekend.

What are the prizes?
We'll have some prizes for our top league finisher, but the bulk of the prizes will come at the post-season tournament. These will include gift cards, beer, Quizmaster swag (t-shirts, koozies), and more!

Can people under 21 play?
We like to include queeps (quiz peeps) of all ages, but this is venue-specific. Some venues let under 21's play, others do not. We encourage players to call the bar directly to find out.

Is there a team-size limit? 
Yes, our team limit of 8 players will be implemented during our quiz nights.

Do the same players have to play every time?
No. Usually there will be a core nucleus of three or four players for each team, with other randoms joining here and there. As long as you use the same league number, your score will be counted all the same.

Do scores from themed quizzes still count?
Yes. In this case they will. Watch our social networks to see what bonuses certain themed events might serve up.

Specially-themed quiz FAQs

Do we pre-register, sign up online? 
No. We do these events like it's 1999. Just show up --- we advise you arrive a little early to grab a good seat --- drink, think and have fun. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, no reservations.

Okay, how much is it? 
It varies for each venue. Up to $5/player but no more. Venues charging $5/player will offer a cash prize for first place on top of any other prizes. 

What are the prizes?
This will vary with each event but typically most are offering standard moolah for first place, second place and the best themed team name, mostly likely free beer or bar tabs to the venue.

Can I wear a special outfit or costume?
Absolutely. Particularly if you want to feature on the Facebook page. Hey, in some cases we even have costume contests and give out extra stash for those dressed up folks!

Can people under 21 play?
That's out of our hands we're afraid, and will vary depending on the venue. We'll be sure to communicate that via our Facebook page for each specific event, but if you're unsure just call the venue in advance to find out.

Is there a team-size limit? 
Surprisingly no! While we typically have an 8-person limit for our regular quiz nights, we keep the specially-themed events open. Why? Well, we figured you'll need all the brain power possible.

Do spectators have to pay? 
Yup. If someone on your team is just there and "doesn't really know anything" they still have to cough up the dough.

I own/manage a venue. Can I host such an event at my bar?
It depends. In almost all cases, we only work with existing Quizmaster clients on our specially themed events, so hire us now and perhaps we can work something out. Such venues must fit certain criteria too.  Location and venue size are key, especially when we've been known to pull in over 100 people for certain events.
