FAQs
Why a Donation for Entry?
One of the most popular forms of fundraising is a Pub Quiz! We wanted to emulate that! We have put the price on a team entry to accommodate teams of all sizes and individual circumstances.
Why not just do ARAM?
We wanted to try something different! ARAM is super popular yes, but it has a meta and is in large parts determined by mechanical skill. By trying a completely different format, we can allow for various cheese and allow teams to show off their flexibility!
Why not Full Random pick then?
Because end of the day not everyone can play, or is comfortable in every role. Existing teams can then keep their existing roles and structure, and you wont necessarily get un-fun situation such as Double Tank vs no support situations.
