Norwigan Studs Trivia

Welcome! On this site you can find information about the Norwigan Studs trivia team and the world's largest trivia contest held every year in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

Description of the contest

The contest lasts 54 hours, starting Friday evening and continuing through Sunday night. Eight questions are asked over the 90FM airwaves each hour. Team contestants are given the length of time for two songs to play in which to respond with an answer. Each team is given one attempt to answer. All teams that respond correctly are given an equal share of the 2000 points that a question is worth, with a minimum of 5 points and a maximum of 500 points. There are two hours during the contest when only four questions are asked. This allows time to read all of the team standings.

Running Questions

The running Questions are given at specific locations in Stevens Point at 7:00 A.M. both Saturday and Sunday mornings. Teams are asked to gather information within "running" distance of the meeting sight.

Music Questions

The music questions are snippets of 8 songs. There are three music questions, and each of the snippets is equivalent to one question. Question turn-in times are in your copy of The New Trivia Times. This is the booklet that you receive at the time of registration.

It’s crazy to think about as I’m sitting here in front of my computer in my underwear."
