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...

pleslie99 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 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! So just click on the link and answer the questions? Do I need to message anyone etc? Lol 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...

eckthearab Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Well I expected to have brought the cup final scores to you all by now but alas I still haven't had scores from DeeJ. So once I do I'll be right back to us with the big match 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eckthearab Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Good evening folks. Welcome to the final of February's Diddly Dee Jamjar Trophy Final. The scores are in and have been counted and verified. So we had the match up of regular winner Whiterosekillie v I believe first time finalist DeeJ. Highly anticipated match and I can assure you we weren't disappointed. So let's get straight to the action, match summariser Archie McPherson. And welcome to Dumpden Park on a cracking day for a final. The teams have been through all the usual guff before the game including whooshing each other all the best. And there's the kick off. WRK right on the attack but rebuffed by DeeJ. DeeJ then took his turn to apply pressure and. Are some early chances count. WRK came back as you would expect and also tucked away a few of his chances. High tempo first half but WRK struggling a bit as the half ends and DeeJ took full advantage to nick ahead at the break. DeeJ taking the first half with a more than decent 8 to WRKs 6. Some stern words in both dressing rooms but who came out strongest in the second half? Well it started somewhat slower than the first half and chances at a premium. The battle swung from end to end and several scores made by both teams. WRK knew he needed to throw everything at pulling back the deficit and grew stronger as the match neared it's end. DeeJ started to fade and despite this still managed to rack up 4 points to bring his total to 12. This meant WRK needed to take the second half by a couple points to take this game to extra time which he managed to do with only questions to spare. But there was one final twist as WRK to another point just before the whistle to take a 3 point second half lead. There was no time for DeeJ to reply and he looked dead on his feet at the whistle as the realisation hit home that he couldn't stop the juggernaut that is WRK. Match result Whiterosekillie (6+7) 13 v 12 (8+4) DeeJ I'm sure they Cardinal will take his earliest opportunity to present the trophy. Brilliant match that had everything, DeeJ will be feeling sick just now but can feel proud of his efforts. As most of us have experienced at one point WRK really is relentless in his pursuit of success so congratulations to him. And also a huge thanks tongue Cardinal for supplying the cup final quizzes!! And that's it for February but the Diddly Dee Jamjar Trophy will be back next month and the first round draw will take place on Wednesday night. So it's goodbye from me, and it's goodnight from him, goodnight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Quality match report, eck. I really thought I was in for the runners-up spot, but the lads showed persistence and a never-say-die attitude that fair warms the cockles. Unlucky, Deej. A la prochaine! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Amazing Cup Final. All that was missing was extra-time and questions from the penalty mark. Down in the Seaside League my season starts with 5/10 partly through knowing 2 of the 4 Aussie questions (album & sport), also knew Turkey & Isle of Man guessed hexagonal angle. Good luck to all. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/mind-games/quiz?quizId=6283§ionId=1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBo10 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 A brief second place in the second division with 4/10. This may well be the highlight of my league placings for the week given recent form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
