I was disappointed that teams were asked different questions. I was also disappointed they used Trivial Pursuit questions. Trivial Pursuit questions are written by 2 Canadians who do not always do accurate research. There was a question Monday night about the active branches of the military. When The chief officer of the Grand Forks Air Base said 4, he was correct in that the Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard are the main branches with the Marines a branch of the Navy. The organization hosting the event could get someone to write questions for all teams to answer the same block of questions, and have a fair competition. They could also open the event to more teams from the community and UND, rather than limiting the teams to 4 that were invited. If the trivia is truly UND and Grand Forks, It could have more groups from each. The host did a good job and organization seemed to be prepared. There were times when I, as an audience member could not hear answers that were not repeated by the host. The host attempted to include audience members but sometimes he failed. The format and participation could be greatly improved.
The UND calendar is for university events only. All event submissions are reviewed and approved before posting. Please allow up to two days for events to appear. For more information see our Calendar Guidelines.
