Twitter Trivia & Flash Trivia: The Rules (UPDATED)

(Every Tuesday around 2pm, I conduct a weekly trivia contest via Twitter. To play, you need to have a Twitter account and you need to follow @MemphisFlyer.)

Here’s how it works:
– The prize for each week’s contest will be announced in a Tweet a few minutes before the question is asked at 1:50pm.
– To submit an answer to the question, reply @memphisflyer, followed by your answer.
– The first correct response wins.*
– Winner will be contacted via Twitter Direct Message with details about claiming the prize.

Also…
– Don’t be a jerk or a sore loser. Anyone trying to spoil the fun will be disqualified.
If you have your tweets protected and @MemphisFlyer is not an approved follower, your trivia answer will not appear on my timeline. Email me if you would like me to follow you so you can play.
– If you win, you cannot win again for one calendar month. You know, just to spread the love around.
-Prizes must be claimed via Twitter DM response within 48 hours (a simple response will do)

Good luck!

“Flash” Trivia Rules

Often, we may have additional trivia days outside of our normally scheduled Tuesday Trivia. In this case all standard trivia rules apply with the addition of these updates:

-If you win, you cannot win again for two full calendar weeks- effective beginning August 19, 2015. This applies to Flash Trivia ONLY! You may still participate in weekly Tuesday trivia given that you have not been a winner in that category for a full calendar month.

* In the event of technical difficulty, power outage, zombie apocalypse, etc., the backup method for choosing a winner is a random drawing from all correct responses posted within the first minute after the question is asked.
