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


Recommended Posts

Finished with 7/10 for Friday, should have been 8, changed my mind on question 10. Don't think 30 will keep me up, it hardly avoids the wooden spoon. 1 guess right out of 3, 1 50/50 right out of 2. Cumulative 7 out of 26

It’s League Table time and in the top division we have a first time winner in @MEADOWXI and a first time runner up in @Duszek who missies out on top spot by one point. Down go @JustOneCornetto @The Hologram and @German Jag with @Leeds Saint in the play-off on QD from four others on the same points.

Wannabe winner for the sixth time is @The DA accompanied by @Aubrey Maturin and  @gkneil with @Ronaldo Jeremy in the play-off on QD. Heading to the seaweed are @djchapsticks @Jacksgranda and @BigBo10 with @kingjoey in the play-off.

Bottom league winner for the twenty third time is @Ross. with @mathematics and @senorsoupe back to the Wannabe again. @ArmadaleKillie is in the play-off. Wooden Spoon to @BaSeDG0DSA1NT for the thirty seventh time.

CUP NEWS

It’s almost Cup time and the cunning plan is it will be a straight knock-out tournament. As usual some ties will need to be a ménage à trois.

The draw for first round of the Rupe’s Engagement Cup will be posted within the next 24 hours or more. The winners obviously head to the second round but the losers will participate in the Not a White Wedding Cup with the losers in this one heading to the Divorce Court Cup. This means that most participants are guaranteed at least 3 cup ties. There might be replays for drawn ties or depending on how many there were both might proceed to the next round.

The quiz will use the questions from The Australian newspaper of the day. This means a lot of cut and pasting and/or typing for me. Anyone not participating in the Cup will have 10 points deducted from their total league score for that week. So two cup rounds in one week and potential 20 point deduction. There will be a few invited participants who will all be part of a three way tie in the early rounds and obviously won’t be penalised any points if any of the C U Next Tuesdays spit the dummy.

All this is subject to change.
