The All New Occasionally Aussie P+B Quiz League and ☕ Occasional Cup ☕


Recommended Posts

Before we get to the main course of the Cup Final results, here's the starter - the league play-off. A low-scoring round played under difficult conditions. 

gkneil (5) 8 - 5 (3) Cowden0

Interviewed after the match, Gkneil described his team as "Disasters". He cares not one jot for results, it's all about the performance, it would appear. 

Meanwhile, a crushed Cowden0 declared "I refute the charge if betting against myself although it makes a handy excuse", which is clearly bringing the game into disrepute but leads me to ask, "Which bookmaker lets you bet on the quiz league?" ... I'm sticking my house, car and life on WRK in the cup proper. 

Anyway, congrats to gkneil, who will be getting his first taste of top-flight football next season!

Congrats on your promotion, bud.  Well deserved.  I'm surprised, though, that @Cardinal Richelieuhasn't given your user name the 'alang' treatment.  Are you a goalkeeper called Neil or a person called Gordon/Graham/Grace Kneil.  Being on the broo is clearly addling his brain.

Heh. I actually gave that banter the once over in the "patter mill" but it didn't pass muster :) ... sadly, quitting your job in a fit of pique no longer grants one the broo. Worse news ... despite trying to Spud the interview, I've been invited in for a second one. :/

Answer the questions to the link (will include reference to www.theaustralian.com.au) late Sunday night/early Monday morning depending which hemisphere you live in.

Is that one of the questions? I know the answer to that one.

How do I get to Join in with this?

Just to elaborate on Eednud's answer, basically the league runs from Mon - Fri, but because the Ozzies are around 10 hours ahead and are upside down, the Aussie newspaper quiz ends up getting posted the day before, it seems more like Sun - Thu. 

There's also a cup competition you'll automatically be entered into if you join the league. It runs over the course over the month. 

Welcome btw!

Well said CR. Edmund stepping on your toes a little there. Get him back in the box before he pm group messaging for the take over.

PS did everyone get theirs interesting. Will give some thought

Definitely worthy of consideration, quite radical. I'll have to go over the fine details later. Disappointed by the "non-violent" clause though.

No messaging until the cup competition.

Just announce to the world what you scored and don't give any spoilers. You'll very quickly get the hang of it.

Ps - you're not allowed to win in your first 6 months.

You could but there wouldn't be much point. There's no prize and it's just between anonymous people on the internet. Someone might say "well done" and you'd feel a bit silly.
