The order of it

How the day runs.

Questions submitted

Five a parish, forty used.

Live, 45 minutes

Twelve halls, one broadcast.

27 November

The trophy moves

Usually by car, occasionally by tractor.

Wondering

The questions this one gets.

Yes, alongside the halls, though the halls have all the fun. About four thousand people played along at home last year.

Members. Each parish submits five and forty get used, which means every parish has at least one question it thinks it should have got.

For one night a year, between twelve teams, and then it is gone. That is the only exception to the rule and it is deliberate.

Told an hour before.

One notification, capped, and nothing in the weeks when nothing is on.
