QuizMasters Season 2: The Ho-Ho-Holiday Edition

This is the place to be for nerds to be, welcome to the second season of QuizMasters! I'm your host, Davepetasprite^2, and joining us is the Quizmasters 2015: 12 Steps to Victory Winner, Rozureido, and some random drunken passerby, JohnnyMustang. This is the competition wherein knowing quirky yet useless information comes in handy!

Before you even think of heading to your favorite Wikipedia article, and searching for answers there, first, we'll be covering what QuizMasters really is.​

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 each season, in which case, it would be 10. You then PM all of the hosts 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.

So, what are you waiting for? Read the rules first!​
