Africa is the only Trivia bot delivering trivia tournaments at the same time in all groups where the bot is present (central command). Tournaments are delivered daily (3 - 4 times) generally in lots of 50 - 60 questions (30 min per tournament, approximately 35 seconds per question). In the end, the ranking is displayed, based on the results collected from all groups (Top 20). The bot removes each question when the time expires, therefore there is no spam. Only the information related to the start of the tournament and the ranking remains, which you can delete at your own will.
