The Trivia Battle of the MinnPost Brains is now open for business.

Round 1: Compete for a spot on the MinnPost members team by following some simple instructions -- and answering some not-so-simple questions.

Application deadline -- Oct. 24. Open to everyone who has donated at least $50 to MinnPost in 2009.

Round 2: Names and brief bios of top scorers in the prelim round will be posted by Oct. 27.

Round 3: Online voting open Oct. 28 to Nov. 4. This is a popularity contest. Email your friends. And your mother.

Round 4: The four top vote-getters will compete against the MinnPost staff team on Sunday, Nov. 8 at MinnPost’s 2nd anniversary celebration.

Smart but not so confident?
Audience members can participate too. In writing. Just like at an Irish pub.

And the top-scoring audience team will compete in a bonus round against the official MinnPost members and staff teams.  

A great offer to get this going
Everyone who submits legitimate answers to at least 10 of the prelim questions will be entered in a drawing.

Legitimate does not mean correct. But forget about Daffy Duck.

We’ll give away three of MinnPost’s new T-shirts.

No Britney. No Paris. No Lindsay.

But a great shirt for a trip to a pub.
