I enjoyed the quiz, there were a lot of excellent questions, e.g Bill Ponsford, Zina Garrison.
My one small beef is that I am not too keen on the 'oddball' type questions, expecially when they are sports that not many people know about. Those of us who do know a bit about them lose out. For example, there was only one greyhound racing question, which was not about a dog, track or trainer, it was to do with an SP. I wasn't keen at all on the Ganteaume question, as his 'average' is not officially recognised, but that is just a personal preference. To be honest anyone who takes the time to prepare a quiz should be congratulated. This was a fine quiz. |

What an excellent scoring system, though missing 3/4's of the quiz I came 11th :D

Sadly I didn't add up how many questions people missed Pumps...I think I missed about 30.

It's actually quite a fun way to score it but I wouldn't want to be the in running scorer...lol

But then again as has been said before with any scoring involving people taking a minus score for being wrong, when people dont KNOW the answer they simply wont have a go at it.
Why would you guess at 20Q you dont have a clue, for instance a country Q when you know it could be one of many and risk getting a minus when your a 10/1 poke to get it. Minus scoring doesnt work, I did it a few times during my picture quizzes and it never showed as a good way IMO and a few others that took part. |

Agreed bjk. Guessing is part of quizzes and good fun, so to discourage it would be a pity.
No perfect scoring system online - all the ones we've used have drawbacks. Next quiz I do I might try 4-3-2-1-1-1 or something. That way a decent number score and it won't be worth copying as you'll probably miss out on the points. I like to give a bonus for unique correct answers, so 5 pts there. Scoring like that you need to ensure of course Qs are tough, so that those with faster typing/conections don't have a big advantage. |

I agree BJK. I would never want to have minus scoring. It will stop people guessing...and at the end of the day it should all be about a bit of fun. It's the taking part that counts.

" its the taking part that counts "
I expect that sentiment goes for 80% plus of people that take part in these quizzes as at least that ammount will very rarely win a quiz but just enjoy the crac. |

Cheers Jimmy.
I think we can safely bin that system! There were a couple of answers that would have skewed it somewhat, people getting up to minus 12, not through copying but misinterpreting the question. In my own case, i know i never copy, yet to look at my final score, it is hard to believe, so back to the drawing board! |

Yeah. I think Rock Monkey would have won but for getting minus 3 million on the cricket one.
