Sporting countdown SHEEP

Zaph · 2021-03-16 23:27:32

Right, I've played around with the Sheepulator and it seems straightforward enough (that will come back to haunt me), so I've decided that it's time to run my very own Sheep for the first time. For those who aren't fans of sport, don't let that put you off, because when you read the questions you'll quickly realise that…

Right, I've played around with the Sheepulator and it seems straightforward enough (that will come back to haunt me), so I've decided that it's time to run my very own Sheep for the first time.

For those who aren't fans of sport, don't let that put you off, because when you read the questions you'll quickly realise that Google and Wikipedia are going to be everybody's friend here. It's a countdown from 15-2, with the number corresponding to the total number of possible answers to each question, although as we all know there are no wrong answers in sheep. Signups close Saturday 27th March, so on your marks...

15 Name one of Tiger Woods' major wins (tournament and year)
14 Name a Pro 14 rugby club
13 Name a rugby league position
12 Name an NFL team that has never won the Super Bowl (franchises that have moved/changed name will be grouped under current name)
11 Name a country/group that has won a Winter Olympics medal of any colour for the skeleton
10 Name a British Formula One world motor racing champion
9 Name a baseball fielding position (i.e. any position other than batter)
8 Name an Irish cycling Grand Tour (Tour de France, Giro d'Italia or Vuelta a Espana) stage winner
7 Name a netball position
6 Name a sport that Ireland has won a Summer Olympics medal in (e.g. cycling, rather than specific event such as men's road race)
5 Name an Irish/Northern Irish golfer who has won a major since 2000
4 Name one of the titles a boxer must hold to be considered an undisputed world champion (all identified by 3 letters)
3 Name one of the cities, other than Tokyo, that hosts a sumo honbasho (professional tournament) each year
2 Name one of the individual men's ski jumping competitions at the Winter Olympics

You think you know someone and then they go to a different room and start a Sheep...

I've submitted my answers early so there can be no accusations of cheating!

In. So is this how kids do their homework these days? None of this flicking through some old book to eventually discover you have the wrong fecking book.

Is a Walrus the music one? I don't think anyone needs me judging their music choices. (Unless their choices are 90s pop!)

I don't think I have ever googled any FG as much as I did in this sheep. If I win I should be stripped of the title, doping control or something!! :pac:

And with Aris in we're now into double figures. Still plenty of time for you to get your answers in, and this is a sports one even LeVar can enter because I'm assuming he knows as much about sumo or skeleton as everybody else. :pac:

I'll have a look at the questions properly over the weekend and give it a whirl.

At a glance I could actually answer some of those without resorting to google...

LeVar brings us up to 15, and blows anyone's chance of claiming to not knowing anything about sport as an excuse for not taking part.

Can't compete on the gif front, I'm afraid - but at least I came up with 14 (seemingly) sensible answers to the questions......
