Making a Sunday pub quiz round from your own material

A Sunday pub quiz in York tends to reward whoever knows a little about everything, so a round built from varied source material works well. DeckOwl does not list venues or run events, so for a night out you will need local pub listings. What it does is turn trivia you already have into questions.

Use a mix of topics such as history, geography, science and music so every table has a chance.
Check any question that depends on a recent fact before the night, since trivia answers change.
Write a short explanation for each answer so the quizmaster can answer challenges on the spot.
Keep a backup printed copy, because a PDF export is easier to carry than a laptop.
