This is the place to be for nerds to be, welcome to the first year of QuizMasters! I'm your host, arachnidsGrip, and this is the competition wherein knowing quirky yet useless information comes in handy!

MECHANICS
QuizMasters is basically a stripped down version of Trivial Pursuit.
There will be 6 categories, in which we will call tiles, for sake of clarity. Your aim is to get the most tiles possible!
To master one tile, you must get the most number of correct answers on that tile. The number of questions you answer will depend on the subtheme, in which case, it would be 12. You then PM me all of your answers, and after that, everyone will be judged according to each tile.
If in case there would be a tie in the number of tiles, the winner will be decided on who got the most cumulative points in the competition. If there would still be a tie, the said tied members will receive a PM on 6 tiebreaker questions. The winner would be who gets the most number of points on those questions. If on the extremely coincidental incidence that there would still be a tie, the one who submitted the answers first would win the tiebreaker.
There will be emblems for those who get the number one spot in each tile, and for the participants as well. However, since the subtheme for this year is "12 Steps to Victory", the top 12 contenders will be shown to all and adored by many, like the 12 Olympians, but only the top 3 contestants get the ultimate reward. Bragging rights, emblems, and a medal under your name and your region.
So, what are you waiting for? Read the rules first!
