Write a Quiz Night Hosting Script

You can read questions, but holding a room while sheets get collected is a different skill, and dead air is brutal. This writes the whole hosting script: the welcome and house rules, an intro for each round, banter lines for the gaps, a suspenseful score reveal and a warm sign-off. Witty, inclusive, and saves you from improvising into silence.

Write a hosting script for a pub quiz quizmaster covering the following sections: (1) opening welcome and house rules announcement, (2) a scripted intro for each of these rounds: {ROUND_LIST}, (3) banter lines to fill time while answer sheets are collected, (4) a scripted reveal sequence for the final scores including suspense-building language, and (5) a closing sign-off. The tone should be warm, witty, and inclusive, suitable for a mixed-age community pub audience. Keep each scripted section concise enough to feel spontaneous when read aloud. Include stage directions in brackets where timing or actions matter.
