The Official Pub Quiz: Discussion

This is where you can express your thought and feelings, give me new ideas or just question my marking.

EDIT: This is now also the place for you to discuss the results and brag to Y I Man about getting five times the score that he did.

i think it should be once every 2 weeks.

every two weeks is fine.

And I think you should incorporate a points system as opposed to a running score.

In other words, if I was 10 questions behind the top place, it would be hard to catch up.

However, if top place got 10 points, then I may only be a couple of points behind (if that makes sense).

I also think that you should have set rounds each week, with a mystery round of your choosing:

General
Sport
Geography
Films
Music
Random - food and drink, history, the works of Shakespear etc.

go 1st 15 points 2nd 12 3rd 10 4th 8 5th 6 6th 4 7th 2 8th 1?

I like these ideas and I will take them all into account when I draw up the new plans for the quiz this weekend

Don't forget to turn up for the quiz on Friday!

I am now taking requests for the next quiz's secret round. Either post you wishes on this thread or send them to myself on a private message.

Any requests for a bonus / secret round for two weeks time?

TV sit coms

two weeks? thought it was next week!

I mean one week. Boy this week has gone quickly!

I was thinking perhaps Literature or Food & Drink

Food and drink please -

My two favourite subjects

Any requests for the secret round this week. Literature?

Food and drink is good.

SCience Fiction
Quotes
America

I also think the leaderboard should be a rolling 4 week board, that way new people can join and not have to play catch up the whole time(if that makes sense)

What do you mean by 'a rolling 4 week board'?

i presume that it starts over every 4 quizes or something, so new comers arn't in an impossible position when they join the game

Peoples totals are calculated on the last 4 weeks only.

As a new quiz happens, the fourth last drops off the scores

I'll see what I can do
