The Nerd Film Trivia League

Production History
The The Nerd Film Trivia League was created by Teens Talk Movies' Trevor. It began as an 8 way Free for All that was released on November 16, 2019. Brayden beat Joe on the final question to become the first NFTL Champion. This quickly turned into an 8 player tournament, the 2020 Singles Tournament. The idea was to have a fun thing for everyone to do based on the Movie Trivia Schmoedown

On April 29, 2020 a Teams Tournament will start with as of yet undetermined teams and it was announced that there will be category specific themed matches starting on May 4, 2020. On May 4 will be a Star Wars only match between Cobi, Joe, and Brayden, the highest ranked Star Wars competitors. These matches will alternate every month including Lord of the Rings matches, Comic Book Movies matches, and Harry Potter matches.

Current Singles Format
ROUND ONE 6 questions, all worth 1 point are asked to both competitors. The competitors will answer the question by writing their answers on the whiteboards in as little time as possible before getting a 5 second countdown. If the competitor doesn’t get the answer right, no points will be awarded. The categories are MCU, DCEU, Star Wars, Wizarding World, and Middle Earth.

ROUND TWO Each competitor will spin a wheel with 16 categories listed. If the competitor does not want to answer from the first category spun, he or she may spin again (unless the first spin is Opponent's Choice). If he or she spins a second time, the category on which the spinner lands must be used (if a competitor who is the second to spin lands on the category from which the first competitor answered, he or she must spin again (the original spin does not count as a spin)). Each competitor gets four questions with each question weighted two points. 50/50 is available but the answer will reduce the value to one point. If a competitor makes an incorrect guess their opponent may steal the question if they know the answer. If no 50/50 is offered, the opponent will not be able to utilize multiple choice. The opponent will be awarded two points if they steal and answer without 50/50 and one point if they steal and answer the 50/50.

ROUND THREE Each competitor will get three questions from a random selection of categories. Question number one is weighted one point. Question number two is worth two points. Question number three is worth three points. No stealing allowed.

SUDDEN DEATH In the event of a sudden death, a random question will be asked and the first competitor to answer correctly wins the match. If the competitor answers incorrectly, they lose the match.

Current Teams Format
ROUND ONE 6 questions are asked to all competitors, 1 point is awarded for a correct answer by each individual (teams can score up to two points per question). The competitors will answer the questions individually by writing their answers on the whiteboards in as little time as possible before getting a 5 second countdown. If the competitor doesn’t get the answer right, no points will be awarded. No conferring is allowed between team members.

ROUND TWO Competitors will spin the wheel, just like in Singles play. Each team gets four questions with each question weighted two points. 50/50 is available but the answer will reduce the value to one point. If a team makes an incorrect guess their opponents may steal the question if they know the answer. If no 50/50 is offered, the opponents will not be able to utilize multiple choice. The opponents will be awarded two points if they steal and answer without multiple choice and one point if they steal and answer the multiple choice. Team members are allowed to confer on all questions.

ROUND THREE Each team will get three questions from a random selection of categories. Question number one is weighted one point and must be answered individually by one team member. Question number two is worth two points and must be answered individually by the team member who didn't answer question number one. Question number three is worth three points and the team is allowed to confer. No stealing allowed.

SUDDEN DEATH In the event of a sudden death, a random question will be asked and the first team to answer correctly wins the match. If the team answers incorrectly, they lose the match.

Title Match Format
ROUND ONE 6 questions, all worth 1 point are asked to both competitors. The competitors will answer the question by writing their answers on the whiteboards in as little time as possible before getting a 5 second countdown. If the competitor doesn’t get the answer right, no points will be awarded. The categories are MCU, DCEU, Star Wars, Wizarding World, and Middle Earth.

ROUND TWO Each competitor will spin a wheel with 16 categories listed. If the competitor does not want to answer from the first category spun, he or she may spin again (unless the first spin is Opponent's Choice). If he or she spins a second time, the category on which the spinner lands must be used (if a competitor who is the second to spin lands on the category from which the first competitor answered, he or she must spin again (the original spin does not count as a spin)). Each competitor gets four questions with each question weighted two points. 50/50 is available but the answer will reduce the value to one point. If a competitor makes an incorrect guess their opponent may steal the question if they know the answer. If no 50/50 is offered, the opponent will not be able to utilize multiple choice. The opponent will be awarded two points if they steal and answer without 50/50 and one point if they steal and answer the 50/50.

ROUND THREE The team in the lead will spin the wheel and whatever category it lands on, one question will be asked from that category. Both player/team may wager up to 3. Whoever answers correctly will win those points.

ROUND FOUR Round Four is the Speed Round. The hosts read a question and whoever says an answers first will count as the answer. If they answer correctly they are awarded one point. An incorrect response results in a one point loss. Under the current rules there is no stealing allowed.

ROUND FIVE Each team will get three questions from a random selection of categories. Question number one is weighted 1 points. Question number two is worth 2 points. Question number three is worth 3 points. No stealing allowed. In teams, after the first category is revealed, one person on the team will choose to answer. The other person will answer the second question. Conferring is allowed only on the third question.

Perfect Round
If someone manages to get all of the questions correct in Round 1(which has never been done) they will receive a bonus question worth 1 point for themselves or their team and must be said into the microphone. If two or more players get a perfect round they will write it down on their whiteboards.
