Trivia Night
Trivia Night
Over 300 members plan to participate in our first HOSA SLC Trivia Night! With so many members up to the challenge, we have decided to increase the members on each team. Teams will be made of 6-10 players from each Local Chapter. Those at-large members and chapters with less than 6 members will be put together to form a combined team.
Check-in will start at 6:00 pm in the cafeteria and the questions will begin at 6:30 pm. Teams will be allowed to flow in and out of trivia based on competition needs. We will have a winner for each round and a combined round winner. We can't wait to see who will be our first Missouri HOSA Trivia Champion!
