How We Rank
We count every weekly trivia night in a city that a host's public schedule or a person confirmed in the last 60 days. Every-other-week and monthly nights count once. Stale and unconfirmed listings don't count.
We divide by the city's population from the US Census Bureau and multiply by 100,000. Only cities with 100,000+ residents and at least 3 confirmed nights are ranked, so one busy bar in a small town doesn't top the list.
The ranking reflects what we've found so far, and coverage grows every month. Know a night we're missing? Add it.
