DVXuser Jeopardy!

I thought it might be fun to hold a DVXuser Jeopardy-like trivia contest.

The rules would be simple. I would start a thread at a specific date and time
with a list of categories. For example Cinematography, NLEs, 35mm Adapters,
Sound, Name that camera, etc.

Each category would have 5 questions, worth 100 - 500 points. The second
round would have 5 new categories worth between 600 - 1000 points. The
questions, like Jeopardy, would get progressively harder.

All members are free to participate. When I post a question, the first
person to post the correct answer gets the points, and then chooses the next question.
Those that answer it wrong lose points.

Let me know what you think. If there's enough positive reaction, I can set one
up as early as next week.

The prize? Well, lets just start with pride for now. It's all in fun!

It's hard to do when not live or being monitored because anyone can google the answers and get 100% on all questions.

You are getting the idea (that would have been a great question).

I'll give it till the weekend to see if anyone is really interested. It's a silly idea, but i thought we could have some fun with it.

If, like Unclebob, you do have some suggestions for questions, you can PM them to me. I'll give full credit.

Of course, submitting a questions means you can't play.

What is "bumping"?

lol. How about we do this on Skype or other multi-person live chat? Then we could do it live and people wouldn't have time to do google searches.
