eckthearab Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Morning all. Prior to doing today's quiz I can bring you the results of the tiebreaks.So we had Blackislekilie v SupermikAndThe_Kincardine v ScotfreeThe question was simply, according to the official Eiffel Tower website, what is the height of the Eiffel Tower?In the first match BIK guessed 215metres an Supermik guessed 175metres.Second match, Kincy guessed 305metres to Scotfrees 250metres.The correct answer is 324metres. Resulting in Blackislekilie and The_Kincardine progressing to the next round. The draw for the next round will take place tomorrow evening. In regards league reconstruction I really don't have an opinion. Though with regards the cup, I did say that this month was the last in its current format and a new format will be in place for next month. I will inform you of the changes next week and will take on board any suggestions and ideas at that time. Right I'm off to do today's quiz. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Well with a few score till to post in the Premiership, Alang1993 is still riding high with MSU sniffing about his arse. In light of next week's reconstruction, the wee dotted lines are away and the big black line has moved up, with 4 teams in danger of dropping down to the SWL (of course, it's the 4 players who haven't bothered their arse posting a score - unless I've missed them in which case soz).

And the big black line in this league - similar to 39th Parallel - has ripped apart teams who should really be in the same league together. Previous champions Deej and BWV can only look on in horror. This is exciting, we should split up the leagues every week.

pleslie99 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Does league reconstruction mean the champion of the BZ doesn't go up? Posting for a friend......... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posting for a friend......... Chortle. That's actually a good point... I just assumed that the top 8 would get promoted to the middle league ... but it does seem a bit shite on reflection. But if we were putting the 1st placed team up into the top shop, surely we should put the team bottom of the premiership into the bottom league? This is very confusing. edit: tell your friend that if they finish top of the Beazer league, they'll still get a coveted "BZ" in their trophy cabinet. An accolade not afforded to a vast majority of teams in the league! Edited April 11, 2017 by Cardinal Richelieu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least everyone will have something to play for. 2 hours ago, Tynieness said: I agree with the gentleman above. I think BWV's suggestion has more merit than Cardy's hard line approach. However, when we reconstructed back in December the teams went in to Cardy's mitre biretta and were drawn at random: On 12/2/2016 at 18:27, Cardinal Richelieu said: but the consensus was just to draw names out of an electronic hat. But there's quite a few big names languishing in the lower leagues, so it'll take me a while to get promoted! I think it worked well then (though I gained promotion through the play offs so haven't even a BZ title in the trophy cabinet) and I'd suggest we do the same again.

blackislekillie Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 BWV's system looks fair. We just need to negotiate parachute payments. Are an all seater desk and a heated mouse mat prerequisites for inclusion in the top league? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Got bored waiting. I studied up on the Japanese Islands when someone gave a hint it would be worthwhile, forgotten it all already. A lamentable 3/10 confirming my place in tier 3, whatever it's called. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/mind-games/quiz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Not so much to me. 4/10 again. Actually had Youtube open at the time that question appeared, but I'm pretty sure I'd have got it anyway. Oh, and nailed another Japanese island question. あなたの多くを手に入れよう (just so Tynieness is aware, I'm not the phantom spammer). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleslie99 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Oooft, the heady heights of an 8/10 for me. The pressure of not being in the big league paying off. Narrowed most down to educated 50/50s and it came off! Happy days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
