League Week 1 of 8 Report (02/12/12)
A close and interesting start to the brand new quiz league at the Forge this week. Current champions "The Lemon heads" were absent which now means they are up against it if they wish to retain there title. This however opened the field and allowed other teams to display there league winning potential. These teams came in the shape of "1064" who won this evenings quiz with a score of 55.5 closely followed by another planet with 55 and the "Filthy Five" with 53.5. "The Chalfonts" and "Izzy Wizzy" finished in the 50's where as "Nothing between the Ears" and "No direction finished in the 40;s and 30 respectively. As this is the first week of a new league season this evening results will mirror the league positions.
NB: Teams have been asking me what is happening over the festive period with regards to the quiz. I have just had it confirmed that it is business as usual, so there will be NO BREAK over the Christmas period.
League Week 3 of 8 Report (16/12/12)A close contest this evening with only half a point being the difference between the top two teams. The team who had the advantage was "1064" who finished first with a score of 62 and made it three wins on the bounce. They were just ahead of "The Lemonheads" in second with a score of 61.5 and 2.5 points ahead of another planet who finished third. Elsewhere this evening "The Chalfonts" and "Izzy Wizzy" finished in the low 50's and "Nothing between the ears" were half a point out from scoring in the 40's. No direction continue there good form in there quest for retaining the wooden spoon as they finished last with a score of 18.5.
In the League there is no change at the top of the league as "1064" and "Another planet" sit First and second respectively Elsewhere the "Chalfonts" have moved up 1 place to third swapping places with "Izzy wizzy" who drop down to fourth and "The Lemonheads are also slowing making up ground in the league after missing week one of the new league season. .
League Week 5 of 8 Report (30/12/12)"The Lemon Heads" prevented "1064" making it 5 wins out of 5 by winning this evening quiz with a score of 63.5. Had the "Lemon Heads" not done it "Another Planet" would of as they finished a very close 2nd with a score of 63, which therefore meant "1064" finished third tonight with a score of 61.5. that aside "1064" still remain top of the league "The Chalfont's " finished the quiz fourth tonight with a score 59.5 and "Izzy Wizzy" 6th with a score of 55. This has helped "The Chalfont's" make a bit of ground up on the fight for third with "Izzy Wizzy" but at the moment "Izzy Wizzy" are still sitting tight in third in the league. "The Filthy Five" & "Just the two of us" finished with scores of 53 and 49 both slightly above there weekly average where as "Nothing between the ears" were slight below there's with a score of 47.5. Finally "Any Direction" continue there good form for the wooden spoon with a score of 21.5 well down on last weeks excellent result of 53.
Happy new year to all my teams who have supported the quiz over 2012, I always say it, but without your support there would be no quiz so thank you and once again happy new year and here's to a Quiztastic 2013. Cheers Paul :)
League Week 7 of 8 Report (20/1/13)Week 7 and the penultimate week in the current league see's this evening snow effected quiz tied between the "Lemon Heads" and "1064" with both teams scoring 65 out of a possible 75. The quiz therefore went down to a tie breaker with the "Lemon Heads" taking the tie and winning this evenings quiz.. Missing out on the tie break was "Another planet" who finished third with 63.5/75. Elsewhere a depleted "Chalfonts" had a rough week finishing 6th with a score of 36.5. Nothing between the ears and The Filthy Five finished 5th & 4th with scores of 40.5 and 44.5 respectively.
So with this evening scores added to the league table, it looks like the top three has already been decided with 1 week still to go. Only a total meltdown or a no show will prevent "1064" taking the league title, "Another Planet" finishing second and The Lemon Heads finishing third.
