How to use this archive sample

Read the questions aloud and give teams a numbered answer sheet. Award one point per correct answer, except question 4, which is worth two points: one for each country. There are ten questions and a maximum of 11 points. Announce that scoring before you begin.

Keep the answer key out of view until teams hand in their sheets. For a consistent process across a full event, use our guide to marking trivia answers and team scores.
