Playing Trivia and Ineligibility

Hosts may play regular trivia or theme events, but Trivia Mafia staff are ineligible for participation in our large competitive tournaments. This includes all events for which we sell tickets and/or at which there is a monetary prize (i.e. the Tournament of Champions). The appearance of a conflict of interest is too great -- we trust our staff, but we don't want to put a sour feeling into our players.
