The Competition will run as a bracket-style elimination tournament, as follows:

Opening Round - Contestants will be randomly matched up head-to-head against another Contestant, to compete in a best of 3 question match (each, a “Match”). For each Match, each Contestant will try to answer 2 multiple-choice trivia questions. The Contestant who answers more questions correctly wins the Match and moves onto the Final Round. If both Contestants answer the same amount of questions correctly, then both Contestants will face off in a “Pop-Culture Challenge” and the first Contestant to successfully complete the given challenge will advance to the Final Round.

Final Round - The final 3 Contestants (i.e. the winners of each Match) will compete to answer a single question correctly by each secretly and separately writing their individual answers on a whiteboard. If only one Contestant answers the question correctly, he/she will be the winner. In the event of a tie (i.e. no correct answers, or 2 or more correct answers), there will be another Pop-Culture Challenge tie-breaker to determine the winner. The first Contestant to successfully complete the given challenge will be declared the Winner.
