BE AWARE http://www.spiders.com.au ETA: looking forward to hosting this cup tie but quite understand if you want to forfeit. If I lose I'll be putting it down to jet lag, dodgy foreign food and bad lager. ( Seriously 1st time in cup. Do you post answers on forum or pm the Cardinal ? ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( Seriously 1st time in cup. Do you post answers on forum or pm the Cardinal ? ) Sorry, forgot there were some newbs in the cup. I'll explain very briefly... I'll post a quiz, similar to the Aussie one but Northern Hemispherean in nature. You then PM me your result (don't worry about the answers as it will be multiple choice)... once I have all the scores for each tie (i.e. 3 scores), I'll post the result. The winning team then progresses to the quarter finals. In the event of a one or two teams getting the same score, I'll post a tie-breaker question.. the team that gets closest to the correct answer (or the correct answer, which has happened twice), will then progress! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Saint Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 8, better end to a dismal quizzing week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) Well, week 7 is in the bag, and congrats once again to WRK... the lad really is a machine. Edmund has bagged another second place, UNLESS Dayman can achieve a 7 (Edmund would slip into 3rd place despite being equal on points for the highest / lowest scoring day rules which I can't be arsed explaining again). At the bottom, 3 teams are on 17 points, but sadly BigBo's collapse on Day 2 means he is awarded his first - and hopefully last - black star of death. Cup quiz to follow after lunch and a lie down.

If you want to do the rest of the quizzes for the week, I'll add you to the league. Also do you want to join the cup? It will mean a 4 way tie, but since we've already broken the mould with a 3 way tie, no reason not to do it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to get the best score every day, just beat your opponent(s)... It's like saying "Why don't they just open their box straightaway in Deal or no Deal?", when you can stretch it out over an hour's worth of TV... well it's the same here... but we're stretching it out over a month! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A truly abysmal 2/10 to cement my position near the foot of the table. Hoping to avoid a star. @Cardinal Richelieu posted this last night - got a fright when I saw I was joint bottom there!!!
