Oscars at the Oscar's - WQ#219

First things first, Wilde Quiz #218 was the most fun in a long time, largely due to the big but very well-behaved and most knowledgable crowd we've seen this year. We look forward to seeing some of the 'newbies' again for WQ#219.. do make it a habit :)

BallZ joined forces with 4-2-Won... and won, And generously donated their Champions League points to 4-2-Won who climbed up to #2 in the CL table. For now.

1. 4-2-BallZ 88,5
2. Amazing Graces* 87,5
3. Fietscherings***** 85
4. P2P 75
5. Pünktchens 71
6. Professional Monkey Feeders 68
7. Angela’s Ankles 67
8. Schmidteinander 62,5
9. Fröbel Röbel 55,5
10. Frozen Mushrooms 51,5
11. Team Moloko 41

Wilde Quiz #219 on 2 March is now fully booked. There is a waiting list in case someone cancels - if you want on it, send us a mail to quiz_miz@hotmail.com.

Prediction of the week in a separate post, or in the FB group.

Looking forward to WQ#219 with cover versions, Oscars trivia, naked facts, Fasching, and viel fun.

Von A(lternative Facts) bis Z(itate)... and almost everything inbetween... plus Grammy songs, puzzling pics - WQ#218

Now that BAFTAs and GRAMMYs have been won (or at least handed out) it's time to return to the Wilde Quiz title race... round 3 (WQ#218) is up on Thursday 16 February and we are now FULLY BOOKED/AUSGEBUCHT.

It will be interesting to see who takes the third win of the season. Can Fietscherings make it a treble of century breaks? With DAQ absent again and BallZ missing their S04 core, can Pünktchens prevail, Graces go for gold, or 4-2-Won win? With new quiz-savvy teams joining us the game, Mrs. Hudson, is definitely on...

Beat-the-BallZ** season is open - next up: NFL, jubilees & nackte Tatsachen. WQ#217

Apologies for the late update but RL and all that...

First game of Champions League Season 18 was fun (despite, or maybe because of, the relatively small crowd), and yielded YUUUUGE points (first century break of the season already!!).. even though it cost me my voice...

Anyroad, I've finally found the points table with last week's MASSIVE SCORES. The best scores! We always have the best numbers. The very best. Ever. WIN!
And the first winners of Champions League Season 18 are...

1. Fietscherings***** 105,5
2. CannonballZ** 9,5
3. DAQ******** 84
4. Pünktchens 84
5. 4-2-Won 81,5
6. Friend Sips 76,5
7. The Importance of Being Quizzical 69,5

Massive points indeed when the 'last' team has more points than the second-placed team on many other nights.

As for the future - my voice is back if still a bit scratchy and I WON'T SHOUT NEXT THURSDAY (nor will I needlessly repeat questions if queops can'tbe quiet) but WQ#217 IS GO!!! Thursday 2 February at 8pm. Only 2 tables left now.. mail me if you want one.

Manners matter

Quiz year 2017 kicked off rather nicely and all teams old and new were enjoying themselves plenty.

For those teams who booked a table, didn't show up and never even bothered to cancel thus robbing other teams of the chance to get a table - bad manners.
Don't bother trying to book again. Much like Santa, I'm making a list. And you're on it,

That said - all the new teams tonight were lovely queops and are welcome back any Thursday. Your names I have too :)


ps. points & stuff later this week ;D

Season's greetings to y'all, queops :)

May the new year bring us peace and joy, health and prosperity, and also the odd (correct) answer to the questions life throws at us.

We'll meet again in 2017 (on 5 January, to be exact). Until then - enjoy the holidays, the time with family and friends, fine spirits and acceptable weather. Stay quizzical, wherever you are, and above all - STAY SAFE!
