Charlotte bars battle for trivia bragging rights

Mindless Minutia's citywide trivia championship kicks off this Sunday, but there's another competition happening year-round.

What's happening: About 30 Charlotte bars are hosting a new Battle of the Bars league.

• Each location has a custom trophy that stays onsite, and the winning trivia team signs it every week.
• The team that has the most wins halfway through the year will be invited to a $1,000 tournament.
• Year-end champs keep the trophy and compete for another $1,000.
