BigBo10 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 50/50 guesses a definite weakness. 2&3. Went the wrong way on five in the first quiz and 3 in the second. Lower table, lower division beckoning for quite some time I feel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 A dreadful first half 3/10, followed by a highly consistent second half 3/10. Chuffed that I knew the country beer was banned in. I guess we're just not a cup outfit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 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! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. :/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I'll have to go over the fine details later. Disappointed by the "non-violent" clause though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dee_62 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 So just click on the link and answer the questions? Do I need to message anyone etc? Lol 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
