Here's How it Works:
1. The BBHQ Weekly Trivia Contest is open to all active members (Basic, Premium, Premium Plus) at BBHQ.
If you are not currently a member, click here
to sign up. (Basic membership is only $9 per year.) Though, everyone can
participate in our Warm-Up contest.
2. Our contest features trivia primarily from music, TV and radio,
movies, current social and political events, fads and fashions of the
late 50s, 60s, and early 70s.
3. You may need speakers and a sound card to participate. Make certain
you your computer can play Flash video files before you begin the
contest.
4. We post a new contest (most) every Monday at or around 6 p.m., eastern,
September through May. We're officially off June, July and August, though
we may have a contest occasionally during the summer. We'll post a
notification of summer contests on this page and in our weekly
newsletter.
5. Usually, each contest consists of 10 questions. Contestants answer the
questions online and submit answers using our entry form.
6. Once the quiz begins, do not click the refresh (or reload) button on
your browser. That will disqualify you.
7. The first contestant to answer all 10 questions correctly wins the
contest. If no one answers all 10 questions correctly, well, there'll be
no winner that week. Each contest runs through Wednesday at midnight.
8. We will confirm your entry after you submit it, but we will not be
able to tell you your score or if you are the winner. We'll inform all
participants who complete the contest via e-mail, probably by Friday.
9. You either know it or you don't. Contestants have a time limit of 3
minutes to complete the contest. If you do not click the "Grade Me"
button within 3 minutes after beginning the contest, you will be
disqualified.
10. You can enter the contest only once each week. Once you begin the
contest, you're in. That's your only shot.
The Fine Print:
You gotta' read the instructions. You don't follow the instructions, you
may miss the boat. Not our fault.
Though any member may participate each week, you may win a maximum of
twice in any 12-month period.
We have tested our contest on recent versions of Internet Explorer and
Netscape. We have no idea if it will work with WebTV or other oddball
browsers. If it does not work for you.... sorry, we probably can't help
you.
Void where prohibited, taxed, regulated, restricted, disallowed,
frowned-upon, or otherwise limited. Militant Islamists will be
disqualified.
Decision of the judges is final.
We pay the postage to get the prize to you in the U.S. We may require you
to pay postage outside of the U.S. Taxes? Whoa, that's your bag,
entirely!
We are not responsible for hardware, software, network, or other
technical problems; phone line or DSL failures; cable interruptions;
hurricanes, termites or no-seeums; a yada-yada-yada.
We may suspend the contest at any time; we'll give you plenty of notice
ahead of time. But we gotta' do what we gotta' do.
You snooze; you lose.
Improving Your Odds
The odds are in your favor. But still, how do you improve your chances of
winning? Well, for starters, become a member. Ya' gotta' be a member. If
you are not already, join here.
Next, sign up for our free no-spam, Joke of the Week Newsletter. We'll
offer hints every Monday morning for the contest that begins the same
day:
No spam; no charge; just 60 seconds of good, clean fun.
Read our "This Week with the Chicowitz"
essay before entering the contest. It often contains a clue to one or
more questions.
Finally, play around. Questions in our contest often come from our
trivia library
and our numerous trivia quizzes. The more you know.... the more
you know.
