		<description>Nonplayer here, but I look at these quizzes occasionally for one of your teams, and I just want to compliment whoever is in charge for the clever questions.

I feel like I should have gotten 2 or 3 after reading the answers.  Reservoir Dogs, especially.  Well done.</description>

		<description>Hey, does one of these teams have Lisa Porter on it?

Oh!  That was Homer&#039;s head!  I couldn&#039;t figure that out, but figured it was something.  My love of baseball solved that one for me.  Good idea with Homer!</description>

		<title>Comment on How To Run a (Good) Trivia Night by Roger Deem</title>

		<description>Let me add a little to the prize money comments.  If you are offering prizes then the winners have EARNED the right to walk out the door with the money.  It&#039;s theirs.  You should never expect it back, just feel blessed when they make that choice.  And absolutely never play the guilt card.

Our team played in an event last spring which we won and gave half of the prize money back.  Their response was to call us rather unpleasant names as we left.  That guaranteed that our team of 10 would never be back with our registration fees, 50/50 and auction money and food expenses.  That plus the fact that the two emcees were so tanked by the 7th round that no one could understand the questions.

I know I am talking to minds permanently set in concrete on the next issue but we always use mulligans.  My standard response to the very few who choose to abstain is that I am not running a trivia competition.  I am running a fundraiser.  All of my events are conducted on behalf of some charitable concern and I am quite happy to rake in the easy money mulligans provide. 

Somehow I don&#039;t think the concrete has cracked any! :)</description>
