Test your skills, win prizes,
And, more importantly, dethrone the reigning AMIA Trivia Champs
-
Team "Charles Barr"
And do it all for a good cause.
Are you game?
Do
you know which George Washington's salary as president was? Or Donald
Duck's middle name is? If not, you'll want to find a fellow colleague
that does as you begin to form your team for AMIA's Third
Annual Trivia Throwdown at this year's conference in St. Louis.
Didn't
play last year? Shame on you! Here's a little on how it goes ...
Since
the game is open to all categories (yes, all categories),
you'll want to choose your team carefully and pick the political
aficionado, the comic book collector, the sports know-it-all, and
the 70's pop culture nerd. Awards will be given in the following
categories: Winning Team, Most Valuable Player, Best Team Name,
Best Team Cheer and Best Team Spirit. Don't be afraid to get creative
with your team name or with your team's cheer (pom-poms and dance
moves are permitted).
Teams
will consist of 5-8 people, no more, no less. The games will commence
Wednesday, November 4th at 8:00 in the evening; teams must be sitting
at their table, ready to battle at 8:00pm. Use of cell phones, iPhones,
blackberries or help from the audience is not only not permitted,
but you'll be mocked publicaly and mercilessly the rest of the conference
if you're caught.
You
can sign up for a team table when you register online, but do need
to send us a list of names, the team name, etc. OR
you can register the old-fashioned way with a form, a pen and a
stamp. Send in your money ($80 per team, even if you have the minimum
of 5 people) along with the completed registration form to
the AMIA Office. Team registration is due by October 28th.
Don't
want to form up your own team? We'll have teams that come together
just for the night (we like to call it Survivor Trivia), so sign
up as an individual or in twos or threes. If you're new to AMIA,
it's a great way to meet your colleagues, and if you're an AMIA
conference veteran just looking to share your celebrated wisdom,
here's your chance. This is a GREAT conference mentor/first time
attendee event! In fact, last year's champs were a match made that
night ...
Teams
will form game day; so not to worry if you don't have enough to
meet the minimum number of people needed. To sign up individually,
same instructions - download form, send in the form and your payment
($10 per person).
If
you would like to help sponsor our little game, you will receive
lots of thanks and free advertising from us. We will also accept
donations of your wares for game prizes, door prizes, raffles ...
All
the funds from Trivia Night will go to support AMIA 's Awards Program.
