Quiz Update

Amidst the seismic geopolitical upheavals the world is experiencing, none is more attentively watched than the NYC Quiz leaderboard. Worldwide media exploded to the news that T.B.M. finally prevailed over the establishment bastions that are Wizard. A tense engagement between many teams throughout Wednesday night saw no less than four teams tied for the lead ahead of the last round. The Motor Buoys and The Dirty Ruckers cracked, but held on to tie for third place. Wizard held firm, but a stronger effort from perennial runners-up T.B.M. to get a perfect final round saw them gain the spoils. Old glories Enchantress and Corner Boys finished in behind.

 

The result allows Wizard to look down on all from the top of the overall leaderboard, followed by T.B.M. and the Corner Boys. Chancellors and Quiztopher Columbus sit in a healthy fifth. With poor results still able to be discounted all teams have a chance of occupying these places in the weeks ahead. Echoing the language of TOTP, Motor Buoys climb six places to number 11.

 

The Christmas Dinner Quiz will take place in two weeks’ time, on the 17th December. Dinner will be at 7.00 for 7.30, with the quiz starting at 8.30. All are welcome.

Quiz Update

Quiz Update

The quiz resumed on Wednesday night last (19th November) in conditions that were frosty and unwelcoming. Inside the club the conditions were just frosty - at least for former champions Celtic Boys who had an appeal to popular acclaim roundly dismissed when they argued that all plants are trees. The quiz hierarchy could not stretch the conventions of quizzing to give them the point they would need to fend off the inevitable march to victory of other former champions Wizard. The Quizmaster will not be on Christy McDonnell’s Christmas card list – nor will Michael or Sara.

 

With Wizard beating Celtic Boys by a point, it was left to much improved Quiztopher Columbus to take third spot on the night. Reigning champions Corner Boys finished fourth, and honourable mentions go to Celtic Warriors and the returning Stars of the Sea. Another honourable mention must go to Harmerang because they asked for one!

 

Erstwhile champions Wizard take a commanding lead in the overall leaderboard (available on the club Noticeboard), but with discards still widely available there are opportunities for all teams to improve their positions.

 

Finally, although Martin McCarthy must remain nameless, it should be noted that Motor Buoys  - note the name of the team! – were not able to answer the question that called for the correct spelling of ‘buoy’.

 

The next quiz will take place on December 3rd, at 8pm sharp!
