FEATURE · TEAMS & SCORING
The score keeps itself. You keep the peace.
Two to eight teams, each with a colour, a shape and a name the room will chant. Or everyone for themselves, up to 24 players. Points land on the TV the moment you award them.
How does scoring work?
It depends on the format. On a board you award or dock a tile's value with a tap, and a wrong answer lets another team steal. In a pub quiz you mark each team's answer right, half or wrong, and the totals follow from the marks. In quickfire it scores itself: correct answers earn more for speed, and a team scores its players' average.
Every score is shown on the TV with its team's colour and shape — shape as well as colour, because roughly one man in twelve can't tell some colours apart.

FAIR TEAMS
A big team doesn't win by being big
In quickfire, a team's score is the average of its players. Six people answering beats two people answering only if the six are actually better — and an empty team scores zero rather than disappearing from the board.
THE LOBBY
Sort the teams before the first question
The host's lobby lists who has joined each team. Tap a name to move someone who picked the wrong colour, and start when everyone's in.
Questions about teams and scoring
Do teams need the same number of players?
No. On a board it doesn't matter who buzzes; in quickfire a team scores its players' average, so team sizes even out.
Can I change a score by hand?
Yes. Every team has + and − buttons with a step size you choose, for bonus points, penalties and the inevitable appeals.
Where are the scores kept?
Board scores are kept in the host's browser, so a reload doesn't lose them. Pub-quiz marks are saved with the quiz, so two host screens see the same marks.
Can individuals play instead of teams?
Yes, on board and quickfire quizzes: choose everyone-for-themselves and each phone gets its own row, up to 24. A pub quiz is always played in teams.
