ADVANCES
August 22
Another week gone. This year seems like it is flying! They say that the older you get, the faster time seems to move. There are actual biological reasons for that, but this year seems to be moving even faster than that. Can someone put on the brakes?
Sorry I didn’t get these posted earlier. I was still working on them when I had to leave for the Flying Boxcars game. We had a great time. It was a wonderful day; the weather held. It didn’t start to rain until after we got to the garage. We were partway home before it rained. Everyone had a good time. Unfortunately, the Boxcars didn’t win the game, but it was exciting! It was scoreless for the first several innings. The Boxcars rallied in the bottom of the ninth, but it wasn’t enough. But I think it was successful enough to do it again next year!
Here are the advances for this week. The questions: In which Alaskan town do almost all residents live in the same building? With what country does Brazil share its longest land border? What civilization lived by the Code of Hammurabi? And the unrelated answers: Pearl Hart, Arthur Ashe, Hydrogen.
Have a great rest of the weekend, and we will see you for another great game this week at trivia!

A GENTLE REMINDER
August 22
Please remember that I am just one person. I write 70 questions a week, with help. I try to make sure they are correct, and there aren't any ambiguous answers that I haven't prepared for. But I sometimes make mistakes. Even Jeopardy! writers make mistakes, and they have a whole team of people with commas in their salaries. So, two things: when I make a mistake, please let me know gently. Yelling at me will not prompt me to make any changes to the scores. Second, do not under any circumstances yell at the hosts. They do not write the games. I do. They have the freedom to accept answers as they see fit or to write me for clarification. But do not take an attitude or yell at them. Remember, we are there to have fun. I am as competitive as anyone out there, but we are still there to have fun.
TWO THINGS
March 11
I feel I need to bring up a couple of issues. One was dealt with a couple of years ago and now is coming back. The other is a clarification.
First, we ask you not to bring pages of research with you. When we used to announce the theme round in advance, teams would print out the internet and bring it with them. We don't announce the theme round in advance any longer to make it more fair to all the teams. So I thought this problem had gone away. We do give you the advance questions over the weekend ahead. I know that some people like to research the questions in advance of the weekly game. But I've heard that some teams seem to be taking this to the extreme. Please don't bring excess printouts of research with you to the game. If it continues to be a problem, I will have to discontinue posting the advance questions on the weekend and then everyone will get them at the same time, when the teams come in for the game. I have always strived to make this a fair and fun game for everyone. If a team is bringing a pile of papers with them as resources, it gives the impression that the team may have other resources (state capitals, periodic table of elements, list of presidents, etc.). If you want to look up the advance questions at home, you shouldn't have more than one page.
Second, I know that some trivia companies allow the last-place team to choose the next week's theme round. Here are a couple of things that are different from the way we do it. First, I have six locations. That means there would be six teams that finish last. I can't have 6 theme rounds. Also, I don't announce the theme rounds in advance. As I said above, when I did, some teams would conduct reams of research. Also, I found that by announcing the theme round in advance, it put teams that came in to have dinner and decide to play trivia. They won't have had the chance to do research which puts them at a disadvantage.
Please remember the number one goal of Flagship Trivia is that everyone have fun! Have fun, folks!
