    Kolido and I are looking to do a quiz together, so we are opening sign ups today!

    We not sure on a start date, but within the next 2 weeks depending largely on sign up numbers. As soon as we know - we’ll update this post.

    Each team will have at least 3 players, I would hope for 4 or 5 per team depending on how many people sign up - these will be randed by us before we start.

    Each team can then choose a name and setup their own channel of communication. (previously discord, PM, emails etc were used)

    There’ll be rounds for everyone, probably including sport science pop culture... The works. We will be doing a round and a reveal each day, and will clarify the number of rounds closer to launch. It should keep you going for a few days anyway :)

    So please sign up below!

    May I enter as a one-man team? I know I'll finish last, but I'm a lone wolf and I work alone.

    I did that once because my team-mates kept stealing my chicken wings when I hadn't eaten all day :)

    We drew :cool:

    We would really prefare if you play on a team, it makes things more fair. Is there any reason you wouldn't play on a team? We don't want to exclude anyone.

    mmm. . . looking at the previous quiz, I think I would be of very little use as a team mate (that's the polite way of saying that I would be useless :D )

    Baggly, Kolido,
    if it's possible, could you put me down as a back-up in case you need numbers to even out the teams?

    If you want, no problem... I'd encourage you to sign up fully though. It's a good laugh aside from the questions anyway.

    Jesus, how do these quizzes even work??? I've never done one before.



    Is there a previous one I could have a look at to get an idea?


    All sounding very competitive......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,799 ✭✭✭✭Ted_YNWA


    It is a social distancing table quiz in effect.

    Questions get posted at midday & answers to be pm'ed by 9pm ( times depending on who is running)

    No google or research allowed

    Teams are picked by quiz runner & they can communicate between each other however they choose.
