Put Your Knowledge Of Sports Facts To Good Use By Playing A Sports Quiz In A Bar
By Peter A Hill
If you love sports and trivia and have the ability to retain sports facts, have you considered playing in a trivia league? There are sports bars and pubs in North America that offer weekly trivia quizzes as part of their entertainment schedule. However, not too many seem to offer a quiz that's solely dedicated to sports.
Trivia, especially when played in a team in a pub setting with a host asking the questions is incredibly fun and exciting. When it's just sports, it gives it that added spice. It becomes competitive and you're pumping adrenaline overtime! After all, many people love sports and there's always some great back-and-forth banter between friends who think "they know it all."
The pub quiz is not a new concept. It's been around for years and many bars and pubs offer this form of weekly entertainment for their customers. However, owners of these establishments don't seem to offer a sports-specific weekly quiz to cater to their die-hard sports enthusiasts, which is a bit of a shame. This money-making potential for the owner is often overlooked. Though there must be sports bars that do offer it, it seems a bit of a rarity. Perhaps as customers, you could mention it to staff, who may persuade the owner to start a sports quiz. Imagine a sports bar without a sports quiz? The nerve!
The best kind of sports trivia quiz is the sort that is "live-hosted". With a host asking the questions, it really gets pretty fun and exciting. The host plays an important role. If the host is confident, funny and a bit of a "smarty-pants" himself/herself, it creates great banter between the host and players. Players keep returning weekly, spending on food and drinks and staying longer (all great news for the establishment).
Many places offer "live" bands and there's nothing wrong in that. Some places offer karaoke. Again, nothing wrong in that either; but how long can you listen to someone croaking away at a John Denver tune? Ask yourself if you can get addicted to someone belting out those unreachable notes of Whitney Houston's! Sports trivia - now there's something you can get addicted to. You're in your element. Answer as many questions correctly and who knows; there might be a prize at the end of it for your team! How cool is that?
If only more sports bars would offer this to their customers, they would notice a "sudden" loyalty with the same faces showing up weekly to participate in a pub sports quiz. So, if you want to play and put your sports facts to good use (finally), why not speak to your local sports bar and ask them to introduce fun sports quizzes on a weekly basis? You'll be glad - and so will they!
