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


Recommended Posts

A less than exhilarating end to the week with 4/10. Got the first 3 right, knew 1 &2, after that decided to rest on my laurels and only guessed 1 more correctly, Puerto Rico. 4 might just keep me off the bottom.

4, knew 1. If it makes anyone feel any better I rarely get the Aussie questions correct and ice been here 8 years.


Multiply that time frame by 4 then add 4 and I get more Aussie questions wrong than correct.

Before I post the league table... I was thinking that to cut down on the number of star in the event of equal points .. we should instead go on "goal difference" ... or in other words, if 2 team finishes on equal points .. the team that achieved the highest mark in the quiz is judged to have finished top. 

What does anyone think? (it doesn't affect me, but it would mean we only hand out one silver star instead of two, for the two 2nd placed finishers). It would also affect things at the bottom of the league...

Is that the highest individual mark over the week? Fair enough, but what if that's the same? Possibly do it on count back?

I was thinking if it's the same then we could do it on the lowest score throughout the week would finish below. We could revert back a week but it seems a bit unfair cos they don't do that in the real league. Tbh, with the "highest / lowest score during the week" rule (21b, subsection iii) ... we'd have a clear 2nd place and clear loser....

Or am I overcomplicating things?

Very noble of you eck, since the rule change would mean that you missed out on 2nd place. I shouldn't really change the rules mid-league, so all changes will be made as of next week. And in the spirit of fairness, we'll not have any blackstars this week (well done Motherwell / Gman!)...Anyway, congrats to Leeds Saint who picks up his first ever Gold Star, and to WRK and Eck who get another silver star for their collection!

It's cup weekend (which I believe every weekend is now!). ... 9 teams left in it ... here's a reminder of the draw..

easy23 vs WhiteRoseKillie
Jagfox99 
vs Dayman
The_Kincardine
 vs Cardinal Richelieu 
Edmund vs Alang1993 vs SlipperyP

This quiz was very kindly posted by Jacksgranda so all thanks (and any criticisms!) to him! It's a monster 20 questions.... and in a bid to rid ourselves of all the foreigners creeping into the Scottish game, every question is on Scotland!

Please PM me your results (I'll send mine to Jacksgranda once I've done it) before Monday lunchtime. If you're already out the cup, feel free to post yer score but no spoilers! (Or rather, if you want to add a spoiler, use the spoiler function... this sentence makes no sense). 

Good luck!
