Plan Your First Season Entering a Pub Quiz League as a New Team

Plan a first season for a new team entering a local pub quiz league, covering how many regulars to recruit versus keep as reserves, how to divide up specialist knowledge across the team so nobody is duplicating strengths, and a simple way to track which categories the team consistently loses points on across the season so you know what to work on. Assume [a team of four to six friends, no previous league experience, one weekly fixture].
