The league will last for 12 weeks and the first place winners will win $200, second place team will take $100 and third place will win $75.

“This event will be taking place in 40 other bars in California and those who make it to the Champions Grand Final will get to take home $500 and a Pub Genius trophy,” said Marina Barcelona, Trivia host.

Barcelona said there is another trivia league where 15 teams are drawn at random and will compete against each other for $300 in San Francisco.
