Ever since Tom Oreck of Trivia VIII renamed the Sage team "Sammy's Pizza," trading publicity for food or other necessities has been a Trivia staple. Sponsors support either the contest itself (that is, the hungry and otherwise deprived trivia masters and phone answerers) or individual teams. It's a good deal for both parties, as all sponsors have their names read off on the radio to a more or less captive audience dozens of times throughout Trivia Weekend. Each team is responsible for reporting its own sponsors.
