How to Host Bar Trivia Contests

Pick a night and time to stage the contest. Schedule the trivia contest on a night slow enough that it will improve business, but not on a night so slow that it would annoy the patrons. Plan the contest on the same night and time every week, allowing for holidays, so patrons know when to come and play.
Establish the duration of a contest session, which should be based on the bar's usual business for that night. Usually, the contest should run from one to two hours, shorter if other entertainment is planned for later in the evening and longer if not.
Set up the rules of play. Decide if everyone should be allowed to play or if contestants need to qualify in some way, such as through a sign-up sheet or by paying an entry fee. Determine whether players play as individuals or may play as teams. If everyone can play, either let the patrons decide whether they play alone or in teams and set an upper limit on team size, or require all teams to be the same size. This will give team members an equal chance of winning.
Decide how players will answer the questions, verbally or in writing. Writing answers requires providing them with answer sheets and makes for a slower-paced contest, but allows patrons who arrive during the run of the contest to catch up by getting the questions they missed. Answering verbally requires the use of a buzzer system and typically requires players to arrive at the contest's start.
Determine what prizes will be awarded. Prizes may be furnished by the bar, such as a bar tab, from contest sponsors or a cash kitty formed from the entry fees contestants pay to play.
Promote the contest through flyers, local media and word-of-mouth. Often, sponsors providing prizes can assist with the promotion.
