How to Hold a Trivia Night


Develop an outline or format for your trivia game. There are endless options when designing your own trivia game. Common trivia games will have about four rounds with ten or so questions in each round. To decide how many rounds or questions you want your game to include, figure out how long you want the game to last. If you only have an hour to complete the whole game, you will want to structure it with less rounds or questions.
Establish rules for game play. Because trivia questions are typically open ended, it is important to specify the rules for acceptable answers ahead of time. For example, if the answer to a trivia question is a person's name, will just the last name be accepted or does the team need to know the full name? You should develop rules associated to the actual game play as well. These can include the time given to answer the questions, the types of technology not permitted, and how score is kept.
Select the questions. Before actually writing each question, you should decide whether you want your trivia game to be specific to one topic, such as sports or movies, or a compilation of many topics. In addition to writing the number of questions specified by your format, you should also set aside some tiebreaker and bonus questions.
Write instruction guidelines for each table or group. Even if you plan on announcing your game instructions and rules, it is always helpful to have some guidelines at each table during the game to serve as reminders for the players. For games with more rules and specifications for acceptable answers, the necessity and benefit of written guidelines is greater.
Collect your inventory. At minimum, most trivial games require a pen and paper for each table and something to keep time. Other common objects may include a bell or whistle to signal the end of the allotted answering time, a scoreboard, and prizes for the winners.
Invite your attendees and play. With the game rules established and the inventory assembled, all that is left is to play and have fun.

How to Create Race Car Graphics (5 Steps)


Get all the measurements for each graphic you are preparing. Accurately measure each section of the vehicle. Account for any 'contingency' decals required by the sanctioning body the race car will participate in.
Use graphic design software such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign to create the graphics. Because these software programs require training and familiarity, most race teams hire a graphic designer to create the graphics according to the needs of the sponsor and the team.
If you are obtaining a logo from a sponsor, be sure you have the file in the correct format and large enough to print in the size you need. Vector files are the most common file format but be sure to check with your printer on the required format and minimum size they prefer. This will ensure that your graphics are clear and high quality.
Once the design of the graphics is done, send them to a printer that has the capability to output graphics large enough for your race car. The most cost effective material is vinyl, which also applies easily. Your printed decal will come back sandwiched between sheets of paper to protect both the adhesive backing and the printed side.
Apply the printed decals to your race car. Start with a clean, dry surface. Spray the area with an adhesive fluid, which allows you to position the decal before setting it in. Remove the back of the vinyl, set in place and using your squeegee, press firmly from the center of the graphic outward. Let it dry, saturate the outside of the decal and carefully remove the sheet. Use your Exacto knife to pop any bubble that may appear.
