What do presidential succession, 1990s sitcoms, and the periodic table have in common?

They're all fair game at BP Trivia Live, where Potomac's sharpest minds assemble each week to prove that knowledge truly is power. Four beloved local spots have embraced this competitive general knowledge trivia league, each offering its own flavor of cerebral combat. You read that right. These weekly gatherings aren't just your garden-variety pub quiz—they're part of a sophisticated league system across the DMV with monthly qualifiers, seasonal tournaments, and a grand prize of $1,000 cash. Here’s where you can join the action locally:

Teams can have a maximum of 8 players—but you can Ken Jennings your way solo to the championship if you're feeling particularly confident. No cell phones during live questions and no help from people not sitting at your table.

Consistency is key: only teams that play every week in a month + score the highest can qualify for the Finals Tournament, where they'll face off against winners from 17+ other venues from across the DMV for ultimate bragging rights and that coveted $1,000 prize.

Ready to join the fun? The next Finals Tournament kicks off this October so you have the remaining weeks of July to assemble a team and sharpen your skills before competing in August for the last qualifying spot. May the best minds win!
