5. During the event, you will play as a team consisting of either yourself, everyone in your household, or as a remote team with other players. If playing as a remote team, the host will organize you into teams randomly or may ask for your assistance in changing your onscreen name if your teams have been pre-determined.  Up to 8 players per team.  
6. The host will then provide your team with a website link. This will be used to submit answers for scoring. Please note: If playing as a team with others, you’ll need to choose just one person who will act as your captain and go to the website to submit answers for the whole team.
7. When you first go to the website, you’ll need to enter your team name, and any team members you might be playing with.
8. Once all teams are registered, the host will start trivia play. They will present questions and you will enter your answers in the website. At the end of each round, you’ll submit your answers to the host.
9. After each round is completed, the host will review answers and announce the current scores and leaders.
