Worth bringing this to the top:
Guidelines for setting Qs 1. Players are asked to provide three Qs on each of the 16 categories, ie 48 Qs in total, by Dec 14. All three Qs for each category should be different, eg. on Sport, players should provide one Q each on, say, Boxing, Cricket and Football, rather than all three on the same sport. 2. Avoid the following: (i) FFF Qs, which are a test of typing speed/connection rather than knowledge. Qs should be testing and not too easy. (ii) Vague Qs such as, 'Where was X born?'. Replace with 'In which city....?' or 'In which country...?'. (iii) Qs with fewer choices than a multi, eg. 'In which province of Ireland.....?'. Obviously only four choices. (iv) Qs requring multiple answers, eg. 'Name the seven dwarfs'. Long-winded and dull. Answers requiring 1-3 words are far preferable. (v) Qs beginning with 'Why...?' or 'How....?' as it is unclear how long answers need to be be. 3. Use (or omit) clues to make Qs easier/more difficult. Eg. a Literature Q: Q. Which author created the character Roderick Alleyn? (Difficult) ...becomes... Q. Which New Zealand author created the quintessentially English detective, Roderick Alleyn, who featured in 32 of her novels? (Easier) Three extra clues in that one, so even if players have never heard of Roderick Alleyn, they might know that Ngaio Marsh is a female Kiwi author who writes detective novels. 4. Qs should be labelled Q1, Q3 and Q5, with Q3 being multiple choice (6 options, A-F). Here's an example of what the Qs for the History category should look like (note the different eras and countries referred to): HISTORY Q1. Which historical figure did Fanya Kaplan try to assassinate in Aug 1918? Answer: (Vladimir Ilyich) Lenin Q3. Which French duchy was created in 911 by the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte and granted to the Viking leader Rollo? (a) Aquitaine (b) Bourgogne (c) Bourbon (d) Normandy (e) Orleans (f) Valois Answer: (d) Normandy Q5. The military power of which religious order was broken by its defeat to a Polish-Lithuanian army at the Battle of Grunwald of 1410? Answer: The Teutonic Knights 5. Qs should be original, not copied from websites (unreliable) or books (soon out of date). Using these sources we also see the same old Qs cropping up repeatedly in quizzes. Wikipedia is obviously a useful source of Qs but info from it should be checked using other websites. 6. Please check your Qs before submitting them and pay attention to spelling and punctuation. Hope that's useful. |

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=t_RevHOJadrSLJF_muzleNg&output=html WE MAY NEED TO LOOK AT REDUCING THE LEAGUES TO 2x LEAGUES IF THE REMAINING PLAYERS (in Green) DO NOT CONFIRM THEIR INTENTION TO TAKE PART NEXT SEASON . WE HOPE THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEM WILL NOW BE ABLE TO CONFIRM + JUMP ON BOARD , FOR ANOTHER GOOD SEASON OF PLAY , BANTER + MATCHES . :D :D Please check your status on the Spreadsheet link ^^ and post up Below if it has changed (or is in error) .....Thank You . :-) |

The Game , please excuse my belated Thanks for your First season participation .Just seen your post due to this exercise.
It is a blow when a regular Quizzer , who has taken part in the best spirit of the Leagues, has to leave . But please note (although it appears Not to be in this case ) :- That NO player should leave solely because of the worry over the "new home subjects" set up ..as the European Comp has shown in partially using that system , the "lower "placed Players are consistently beating the "higher placed" League players using the "New" system .. If your circumstances change now or in the future please feel free to contact us for rejoining . We wish you good luck for the future, and look forward to your banter from the terraces :D |
