Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 26 December 2016

A lot of places are on holiday this week, but some of our venues are still staging their shows as usual.

So as long as you’re in a holiday mood, you can come up with a holiday themed team name.

This week if your team name is a holiday that doesn’t exist that you think needs to exist, you will get a bonus point.

Hangover Day

Singles Day

Binge Watching Day

Anything you think would make a good holiday will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

Interesting Question of the Day – 21 December 2016
