Florida, Fauna & Flora, First Time for Everthing, and Fietscherings' Final Foray - Q3#010

OMGOMGOMGOMG.. where do I start?
After 'earning' a Yogi last week, Quizzicals chose Florida as their 'expert' topic and due to acing that round (and most of the others) bagged the night's victory (their first first since 15 January), a nice bottle of spirits, and a massive ego boost. Proof that Round1Joker should be abandoned in favour of topical rounds? We shall see.
In the minor matter of the Champions League Season 15 title race we saw a massive shift in the force.. and the table. 2 games before the season finale Fietscherings have taken the lead, with DAQ nipping at their heels, while BallZ with yet another Streichergebnis have fallen not from grace but their little pedestal. Still, 2 games remaining and lots of things can happen.

Here is the new table, and Monday's tiebreaker approaches by Fietschs & DAQ (the correct number was even lower than announced last night at 206,056 http://commonplacebook.com/…/…/word-count-for-famous-novels/)

Oscar's Mild have Yogi (deadline is Friday 9pm), and POTW will be up as soon as I find something worth predicting ;)

Have a lovely week y'all, see you for the 'Final's Eve' next Monday.

Spanish steps & sonic screwdrivers, cow calls & DAQattack! - Q3#009

It was a fun night, despite the hellish temperatures that totally fried my brain (and my poor little laptop). Thanks to all who turned up for Q3#009 instead of lying somewhere on a beach or chilling in a biergarten.

And while overall scores were better than last week, the big winners were reigning champions DAQ******* who bagged their second win in a row and have definitely mounted a comeback. Heads up BallZ, and Fiestschs, this has become a three horse race now. Even four, if you consider that Graces are not too far off, and anything can happen in the remaining three weeks.

1. DAQ******* 91,5 
2. Pünktchen & Arno 78 
3. Cannonballs* 77 
4. Fietscherings**** 72,5 
5. Amazing Graces* 72 
6. Éire Abú 64,5 
7. Let's Get Quizzical 63,5 

Congrats also to PünktchenAndArnoMitArno who, on their third night, claimed second spot. Thanks also for the lovely Yogi topic.

That said, Yogi for Q3#010 goes to NewQuizzicals (was that a first?) who stuck with round one joker (and paid the price)... at least next week you have no choice but to take round 2, or 4. Be creative, and send me your faves by Friday noon.

And last but not least - Prediction of the Week. Rich pickings. Choose 4 of the 8 games and predict win/draw. Have fun. Have faith. (deadlines = KO times)

• Malchower SV - Germania Schöneiche (Friday 8pm)
• Energie Cottbus - Chemnitz (Saturday 2pm)
• Leverkusen - Hoffenheim (Saturday 3.30pm)
• Swansea - Newcastle (Saturday 4pm)
• Dortmund - Mönchengladbach (Saturday 6.30pm)
• Union - Kaiserslautern (Sunday 2.30pm)
• Manchester City - Chelsea (Sunday 5pm)
• Hurling, All-Ireland Semi Final, Tipperary - Galway (Sunday 5pm)

Optionally, predict the 2 finalists in this week's Netball World Cup. Deadline for this one is Friday noon. (2 points for both finalists, counts as 2 of the above games)

Looking forward to seeing you next week for the pre-pre-finals, gonna be exciting last 3 games. And some of you tomorrow for Rabbit Rätsel Runden, not sure if it'l be exciting but I intend to have fun :D

Moscow mules & Stockholm Syndromes, all about August, and DAQ are back - Q3#008

Before the weekend, and next Monday's Quiky, points and CL table after wk8.

The slightly noisy start notwithstanding it was a fun night. I particularly enjoyed the compo between LGQ (OV) and LGQ 2.0. Reigning champions DAQ******* are back to winning ways, and Quizzicals beat their 'spinoff' to bag 2nd place. Overall points were low-ish but it's still 4 weeks till end of CL season 15, and it's definitely getting interesting now...

1. DAQ******* 74
2. Let's Get Quizzical 67
3. Cannonballs* 66,5
4. Operation Goldmedaille 66
5. Amazing Graces* 63
6. Fietscherings**** 58,5
7. 4-2-Won 49
8. Pünktchen & Arno 46
9. Stube 203 19

Yogi was chosen by P&A-A on the spot. Looking forward to that particular topic, long time no do (sic).

4-2-won are out next week, we'll see if new ones are in. Have a good week till then, stay in the shade, and drink plenty... preferably non-alcoholic.

But HALT!!!! We still have points to give away, for this week's Prediction of the Week. And it's all about the beautiful game. Football proper is back and you can start with 3 points on Monday if you predict the results (win/draw/defeat) for these here games. Deadlines are the respective KO times.

• ManYoo - Tottenham (Saturday 1.45pm)
• Newcastle - Southampton (Sunday 2.30pm)
• Energie Cottbus - Mainz 05 (Sunday 8.30pm)
