Scoring ideas for quiz nights

• Plain scoring: one point for each right answer. It is the simplest and the best for children.
• Passed questions: a team that answers its own question gets two points; a question passed on from another team is worth one.
• Double round: announce before the last round that every answer in it is worth double. A team that is behind stays interested to the end.
• Buzzer rounds: give one point for a right answer and take one away for a wrong one, so that teams think before they shout. The minus buttons are there for this.

Keeping the table fair

Name one scorekeeper who is not playing, and read out the scores after every round, so that mistakes are caught while everyone still remembers the round. Decide before the first question how a tie will be broken; a single sudden-death question is the usual way. If two teams dispute an answer, the quizmaster decides and the scorekeeper records it. An argument settled quickly is forgotten quickly.

Good to know

The scoreboard keeps its numbers if you close the page or the phone locks, because they are saved in this browser. They are not shared between devices, so run the whole evening on one phone or computer. For a quiz across several homes, the host keeps the table and sends it to the group after each round with "Send scores on WhatsApp". Clearing your browser's data removes the saved table.
