It's the FINAL COUNTDOWN...

Just because the end is nigh.. reminders for WQ#188.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEASON 14 - THE FINAL is almost upon us.

Thursday 4 June. Oscar Wilde. Back bar.

We still have a few tables. Book if you want to be present for the big showdown between 6-times champions DAQ and challengers Cannonballs (aka BigBallZonFire)

PUSSYCLUB still have a few hours to send me their Yogi topics. If I don't get any I'll pick all 3 rounds.

For reservations, cancellations, comments & questions PLEASE use our email address quiz_miz@hotmail.com.

See you soon.

BTW - points & table & stuff here tomorrow.

Sober stags, iRound, Games People Play, or How We Beat Our Champions - WQ#185

Well, well, well ... what a penultimate quiz.

Once again a massive THANK YOU to all teams ... despite the minor hiccups before KO, and the somewhat late-ish finish it was a marvelous night. I haven't had that much fun for ages... lovely new teams, erudite Ersatz-Graces, and good points all round.

BRILLIANT POINTS (and not just in their HIMYM Yogi round!!!) for the team that finally lived up to its name

4-2-Won WON!!!! and beat DAQ******!!!
Congratulations, you guys rock!!! 

Ersatz-Graces - lovely :)

SO seh'n Sieger aus :)

1. 4-2-WON 90
2. DAQ****** 88,5
3. Cannonballs* 82,5
4. Pünktchen +/- Arno 78
5. Let's Get Quizzical 76,5
6. Amazing Graces*75,5
7. Xtra Sausage 64
8. King Georg 61
9. J.E.L.P. 59
10. Twin Tub 47,5

The gap between DAQ and BallZ has widened ever so slightly to 4 points, but is by no means insurmountable, and the promise of a GRANDE FINALE makes my mental mouth water. Said final, if all goes to plan, is on next week. I can only say for verysuresure on Wednesday evening.. in case of 'teething troubles' we'll play the 12th and final round on 4 June.
Right - here's the table and pics then, and since I assume neither JELP nor Twin Tub will return next week, Yogi is all mine, all mine. Believe me, I'll find something :D

Prediction of the week for WQ#187As usual at this time of the year - Grangpriöhrovisjongdellaschampsongöhropejenn, aka Jurowischen. (or Eurovision Song Contest 2015)
Vienna calling...
For 3 points in the 'Grand Final' on Thursday - predict Saturday's

• first place
• last place
• Germany's place (+/-2)

Deadline for your wild or educated guesses is Saturday 8pm.

And now there's nothing left to say but - HAVE A LOVELY LONG WEEKEND, see you next Thursday for the big showdown :D

Grizabella, gambling & Great Ballz on fire - WQ#185

Greetings, Queops. We are living in exciting times..... and relaxing ones too. So much so that I forgot to put points & table up here (they have been in fb group though ;) before heading off into a loooong weekend.

WQ#185 was a great night 'en famille' - fun & discipline & early finish. AND the chance to try something new. I really enjoyed the 'gambling' round and we will be doing it again. Real soon  ;)

Maybe we can - slowly but surely - go back to the 'olden ways'... and if only for a while :)

Anyroad, thanx again to all participating teams, you are all champs!!

Which brings us to the important part - CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.. the finishing stretch. Highly interesting results - good points for most, great points for some teams.

1. Cannonballs* 92,5
2. DAQ****** 80
3. Fietscherings**** 79
4. Hurricanes 71,5
5. Pünktchen +/- Arno 66
6. Amazing Graces* 65
7. Let's Get Quizzical 62
8. 4-2-Won 55,5

Great BallZ were on fire and won again, and because of their Streichergebnis 'tactics' they are now nipping at DAQ's heels... only 1.5 points between 1st and 2nd!!!!!! SUSPENSSSSSSSSSSSSE!!!!

(unfortunately, they can't make WQ#186 .. will DAQ seize the opportunity and gain some ground?)

We may have only 2 games left in Season 14, so do make sure your team is reperesented, if only by 'deputies' ...

Book is getting full(er) for the next 2 weeks, if you still want in SEND ME A MAIL.

Looking forward to Thursday, and WQ#186.

Time out

remember, remember... NO QUIZ TONIGHT.

Next one is WQ#186 on 21 May.
Enjoy the holiday :)

Massive Messi points

Prediction of the Weak (sic) points .. all 4 teams predicted the Bayern bashing (well, DAQ predicted a mauling, the others 'just' a defeat)
LGQ were the only ones to put their 'money' on Juve.. well played!!

starting with some points tonight: DAQ, Graces & BallZ 2, Quizzicals 3
should be a quiet one, maybe we'll try something new (or VERY old) :D
see you 8ish ...

Summertime, and the quizzing's not easy... Also, Prediction of the Week for WQ#185

The latest re. remainder of WQCLS14 and short-term plans. PLEASE DO READ CAREFULLY.

We're gonna have WQ#185 on Thursday 7 May. At the mo only CL teams are in the book (as far as I know), if you want to join them DO SEND ME A MAIL. If you phone there's no guarantee that I'll find your reservation.

WQ#186 depends entirely on the number of interested teams since Thursday 14 May is Himmelfahrt (Ascesion Thursday) and thus a holiday. I need your yay or nay by Sunday 10 May. By mail, or in the fb group, or tell me after WQ#185. If I don't get enough teams to warrant the work and hassle, we'll skip next week. In that case WQ#186 would be Thursday 21 May (the Thursday before Pfingsten).
At the moment I'm contemplating cutting the Champions League by a week or two and ending it on 28 May since I don't know yet what June brings. I have matters to take care of that demand my full attention, and preparing/running quizzes is a very time-consuming hobby at the moment.



















And not to waste space - Prediction of the Week for this week's WQ#185. Bit short notice but the teams that play POTW have read it on FB.
Since I missed the chance to ask for royal baby names or snooker champions, here's back to Ye Olde ChampionsLeague bet.
Predict the results (not scores!!) for the CL semi finals. Also, name 2 goal scorers (can be Tue and/or Wed game). 
Deadlines are the respective KO times - in case you miss tonight's Juve-Real you can still send your prediction for Barca beating Bayern.

Disney Parks, Dagobar, LEDAQ pens & Did you hear that?! They shut down the main reactor.. - WQ#184

Bit late again but better than never.
Fun quiz WQ#184 was, nice new teams, lovely atmosphere and good scores all round... (and great craic after the whistle - that duck pen is still haunting my dreams ;) )

Due to the absence of 2 CL teams there were some shifts in the table. BallZ* moved up into second spot, will be interesting to see if they can defend it this Thursday :D )

P+/-A did not quite catch Quizzicals (yet) but have a 'good' Streichergebnis (as do 4-2-Won) ..

1. DAQ****** 85
2. Amazing Graces* 84
3. Cannonballs* 82
4. Pünktchen +/- Arno 74,5
5. The Noobs 71
6. Queen Esther 70
7. 4-2-Won 66
8. HBO 58
9. Made in GDR 54,5
10. Queengs of Esther 53,5

WQ CL season 14 might be a bit shorter than the usual 12 games so get your best scores while you can... 

Yogi for WQ#185 is all mine, all mine.
