Reply to comment by bobcat7781 in Bringing my Trivia Night back to Hampden after almost 3 years... by WalshTrivia

Good question. We try to limit teams to 8 ppl, although if you have one or two more people on a particular night then we'll let it slide. If you'll consistently have more than 8 then we usually recommend that you split into 2 teams. I'll still seat the group at tables near each other but it's better not to have one massive group.

I asked because the place I used to play at didn't have a limit, as far as I know, but then the bar switched from an independent trivia master to a corporate one who capped teams at six. It also wasn't as fun.

Yeah, for my trivia you're definitely welcome to bring a team of up to 8 ppl, and if it's a couple more occasionally then no worries. I want people to have a great time, and I honestly think that once you get above about 6 people it actually makes it harder to come to a decision on many of the answers, plus there's always at least one person with the dreaded "I said that!"
It needs to be a fun game, and obviously I immediately stomp out something cheating if I see it, but I'm not gonna stop your 2 friends who want to join (and push the team over the limit) on a night. It can still be a great and fair trivia without me being ridiculously rigid on rules. Check it out some time!
