If you can't ban phones, you need to think of questions that can't easily be found on Google. LP covers with the names masked out is an idea.

Which is the colder -40 Centigrade or -40 Fahrenheit?

For those that can do the maths - *9 /5 +32

But if you are knowledgeable you'll know that they are BOTH THE SAME in terms of temperature !

It includes all of the qualifying rounds that normally only the very small clubs would be involved in. I believe Wimbledon did it during their non league days and we did it after an administrative error one year where we didn't put in the paperwork for the bye to the 1st round proper
