Having said that, the Three Lions Pub will be our host on Sunday July 6th for our All-Things-Football Pub Quiz...
And just so we're not lost in translation, of course by football we mean futbol (or soccer for you rednecks).
With the Three Lions having been a melting pot for Premier League fans (particularly "scousers") this past season, there is no better place in Wisconsin to hold such an event. The quiz will take place one week before the World Cup final --- there will NOT be any World Cup matches that day.
"You'll Never Quiz Alone" pays homage to the popular football chant, You'll Never Walk Alone, sang by Liverpool and Celtic fans…
But if you didn't know that already you probably want to give this quiz a miss!
Topics for the event will include World Cup, Premier League, Champions League, pop culture and a plethora of other football-related trivia.
Again, a $5-per-person entry fee will be asked for from all players (pay on the night), with the proceeds going to a charity of the winning team's choice. Arrive early though as such events have been known to be packed (ask the Harry Potter fans) in the past.
Quiztime is 7pm sharp on Sunday July 6th.
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?
Five-dollar-holla. Or $5 as you common folk might say. Bring cash, pay the Quizmaster and take homage in knowing that your money's going to a good cause.
It's for charity?
In most cases yes. Events vary but proceeds from various special-themed quizzes go to a selected charity of the winning team's choice.
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.
Can I wear a special outfit or costume?
Absolutely. Particularly if you want to feature on the blog. 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, plus it means more players, and more money, for a good cause.
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 500 cents. Just assure them it's going to sick kids in Africa and they should feel good about their donation. Oh, and they can deduct it from their taxes too.
I own/manage a venue. Can I host such an event at my bar?
It depends. We only work with existing Quizmaster clients on our specially themed event, 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.
