A descriptive phrase used to find creative and themed designations for groups participating in knowledge-based competitions during the autumn holiday period. These names often incorporate spooky, festive, or pun-based elements related to costumes, folklore, and traditions associated with late October. For example, a team might call themselves “The Quizards of Oz” or “Brainyweenies.”
The selection of an appropriate designation enhances the celebratory atmosphere of seasonal gatherings and generates camaraderie among team members. Furthermore, it can contribute to the overall enjoyment of the competition, adding an element of levity and imaginative expression to the pursuit of knowledge. The practice has become increasingly popular in recent years as themed events gain prevalence.
