NEW GAME! Boxing Kangaroo 13/07 Deadline 2:15pm

by paperbag_puncher Thu Jul 05, 2012 10:20 am

First topic message reminder :

Anyone ever play sheep? Basically I'll ask a series of "mainly boxing" related questions and the aim is to answer with the most popular answer. So for example if I asked name a heavyweight champion and 7 people said Ali they would get 7 points. If 5 said Louis they would get 5 points and so on. Whoever gets the most points wins. You would PM me your answers. I've seen it played on other forums and it seems to work well and passes some time.

Seems to be a bit of interest so we'll go again.

I have included the odd non boxing question to jazz it up a bit

NOTE THIS IS KANGAROO. In kangaroo answers must be incorrect. Incorrect answers score the same as in sheep, while correct answers score 0. Highest score wins. Again I have recycled some questions as there is a different dynamic to this game again

THIS GAME IS JUST FOR FUN.

Name a boxer who fought and lost to Ricky hatton
Name a current British boxer who holds a World Title
Name and English boxer who was born in London
Name a British boxer who has never been KO'd
Name a British HW who is fighting at Upton Park this weekend
Name a character from the Simpsons whos surname is Simpson
Name a British actor who hasn't won an Oscar
Name an English city
Name a country that uses the Euro
Name a football team that retained its premier league status in the 20011/2012 season

Everyone welcome please PM me your answers in an unnumbered list by 2:15Pm if you want to play. Remember you are looking for the most popular answer

rules:

game 1:

game 2:

game 3:

game 4:

game 5:

game 6:

game 7:

game 8:

game 9:

game 10:

Can you please PM your answers on their own in an unnumbered list. So without the questions or numbers beside them. Thanks it makes the calculating much easier thumbsup

The bad news is I'm not sure how to format a proper league table on here. Union fancy doing it seeing as you love that kinda thing and have the power to edit this article?

One point!! Yahoo

makes up for missing out by a whisker to Union on the reverse sheep game.

SO BLOODY CLOSE!!!!! Crying or Very sad

Come on jeff did waingro teach you nothing, no one has heard of napoles which also means he was useless. Ah booker is mentioned second on the wikipedia page, makes sense seeing as I'd consider him one of the least well known. Also thought after his recent death that bivins would be in people's consciousness.

Exact reason I picked Booker, never heard of him before that, infact the only Burley question I knew an answer to was the Archie Moore one, so got very lucky.

by Rowley Tue Jul 10, 2012 2:53 pm

I went completely blank Ghosty, could barely think of a fighter beginning with N let alone a world champion, bit embarrasing missing Nelson though being a Sheffield lad

by paperbag_puncher Tue Jul 10, 2012 3:00 pm

New questions are up. Its normal sheep again. Deadline is 4pm

Thanks for doing the table Union!

Sorry to be fussy but in the interest of fair play, two_tone should have 8 points.

I've no idea how to edit the league table.

Sorry Union but could you edit it whenever you get a second. Thanks.

by **Union Cane** Tue Jul 10, 2012 3:17 pm

Sorry, changed it.

by paperbag_puncher Tue Jul 10, 2012 3:17 pm

Figured it out. Table is amended.

Of course. I wont be home till 5. I'll try do it then.

by compelling and rich Tue Jul 10, 2012 4:23 pm

Great Idea with the league by the way, are you the only one running it? Better that way imo, we had so many different games going before that its very hard to stay on track which is especially important in a league. A rough set of times of when games start could also help

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Jul 10, 2012 4:53 pm

Paperbag I have just got back from being out this afternoon. Since answers are not up can you hold the fort for 10 mins and I will pop my answers across to you! Cheers!
