eckthearab Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Morning folks. A rather average 5 today, couldn't be arsed checking the answers. In cup news, the draw will be available to view in an hour, just about to do it whilst having a break. As there's 33 players I'll have to make the first tie drawn a ménage a trois. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) And in a flurry of administration, here are the latest leagues. Frankie and Willie (sounds like a terrible ITV sitcom from the 80s) have leapfrogged Deej and WRK to take first and second spots. Alang1993 is still MIA.

Frankie S Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Have had a quick bash a putting a online quiz together. There are 12 questions and points for speed can lift you up the leaderboard. You gain time for a correct answer and lose time for a wrong one, so getting to the end is quite tricky. I've test driven this one, to make sure it works, but will refrain from playing my own quizzes in future. It's free to register on the site and if you do so your scores are saved on the leaderboard, and you get given more time, but you don't have to register to play. You can play as many times as you want. I'd be happy to post one of these a week as a friendly distraction from the serious league and cup business if the demand is there.

Cardinal Richelieu Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Well I got the first 4 right (mostly by luck) but a run of bad results scuppered me. But I did much better on the 2nd go! As hard as the questions were, I liked the quiz but I'm not quite sure about the format ... surely you can just learn all the questions and rocket to the top of the leaderboard?!

Bully Wee Villa Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I only got one right then ran out of time! I think you lose seconds if you guess incorrectly. I don't like the time format... way to stressful!Will try again though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 A bit better. But I don't like the timer function. Can it be turned off? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's only meant to be a bit of fun, with a different format, complementary to the normal quiz league business, not intended as a possible replacement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the timer function is intrinsic to this particular website. The site is probably geared towards educational rather than recreational purposes. A bit like with flash cards, rapid repetition (in theory) consolidates knowledge. If I can find a free site that provides a user-friendly multiple choice quiz template with no time limit, I'll be happy to give that a shot too.
