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.

Those who have a table might want to start with up to 5 points by chancing it in the Prediction of the Week. Simply pick 5 of the following 9 matches (football, tennis, handball) and predict the winner (or draw). Deadlines are the respective kick-off times.

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

MERRY QUIZMAS

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

After a year of riddles and fun and more than the occasional amount of BS I wish you & your loved ones the best holidays you can get. Frohe Weihnachten, Happy Hanukkah, Joyeux Noël, Happy Christmas, and above all a VERY MERRY QUIZMAS.

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!

Once more, the end is nigh.. be prepared for Finals, Decades & Quizmas

Nope, no DT reference. I'm still in denial.
The year 2016 is leaning sharply towards its end and we have 3 quizzes left. And they're all pretty much booked up. VERY few tables left (unless some people cancel) and groups bigger than 6 need not apply anymore.

These are the dates and themes:

Ye Wilde Quiz #212 - the big Champions Leagues Season 17 FI-NAAA.Le, oho...
Thursday 17 November 2016, 8pm - due to cancellations, we now have 1 table left

Ye Wilde Quiz #213 - the mad review and party quiz - all 70s, 80, and 90s
Thursday 1 December 2016, 8pm - ONLY 1 TABLE LEFT

Ye Wilde Quizmas - the annual seasonal silliness with crimbo questions, songs, sweets, games & drinks
Thursday 15 December 2016, 8pm -  FULLY BOOKED NOW, no more tables unless someone cancels :(

If you want the precious last table(s) do send a mail to quiz_miz@hotmail.com. NO OTHER WAY to get in.

Of course we will have predictions of the week or other games to pick up a few extra points. We will also have a 'secret Santa' round for Quizmas and other things I haven't though of. Yet. 

All the pertinent info will appear here or in the fb group (Brains in Berlin) or will be sent by mail to the lucky team who managed to get a table.
