What? Where? When? UTSC

What is the idea of our club?

So, imagine: in the game room there is a table divided into nine sectors, each of which contains a question from a student in an envelope. A team of scholars consisting of five people, including the captain, is sitting at the table. There is a special program that randomly selects the sequence of the questions.

After selecting a question, the host reads it aloud, giving the scholars one minute to think and find an answer. During this time, they are brainstorming to determine the answer to the question submitted by the "student team" - essentially the entire student body of U of T that has sent in questions. The captain of the team determines the person answering the question. After the answer is given, the host voices the correct answer, which matches the answer of the scholars (plus one point to the team of scholars), or does not match (plus one point to the team of students and the student who asked that question receives a prize). The game lasts up to five points scored by one of the teams. If team of scholars win, they receive a prize.

The main difference between this intellectual game and others, for example, "Trivia", "Jeopardy! " is that, in addition to general erudition, experts need the ability to reason logically, consistently and effectively collaborate in a short amount of time, to be able to find pathways and solutions that lead to the correct answer.

What do teams do? (Click to open)

Team of University, i.e., any registered student, uploads their question via Google Forms (you can access it on page "Upload A Question").
Our editors thoroughly review each uploaded question and select 9 best questions of the week.
On the day of the game, one of the Teams of Scholars gathers in the hall where the game is being held.
Friday, 7:00 PM- game starts. The host of the game randomly selects questions, and Scholars have only 60 seconds to answer each of them. If Scholars give the right answer, they earn a point; if they do not, the Student team earns a point, while the person who sbmitted that question receives a prize.
The game is held until one of the teams reaches 5 points.
