    If this leads to better trivia, that would be awesome. The current trivia is pointless as it asks random facts that no one cares about rather than proper trivia (interesting facts).

    PM sent.

    I would be interested in creating trivia question.
    And break them down into levels of difficulty.
    Now sometimes I get crazy questions for the first and end up guessing.
    and the second or third be easy.

    Let me know

    I'm interested for the position to read proof the questions written before they are submitted to make sure they make sense and are accurate. Asking for 10 pts per question reviewed and if I find errors a bonus of 5 pts per question.

    If not everyone gets a reply back - don't get offended. This is a highly competitive position that requires the kind of writing skill you see permeating through handicappers like brahmabull117's posts.

    We are looking for 30 unique trivia questions (10 easy, 10 medium, 10 hard). The questions should be current, i.e. 2011-2012 seasons, general sports trivia, team trivia, stuff that isn't terribly difficult to have a crack at.
