Merseyside Quiz Leagues

Following HM Government's extension of restrictions, a further Council Meeting has been scheduled for Sunday 18 July to make plans for the 2021-22 season.  Teams have been asked about how their players and their venues feel about recommencing face to face quizzing and these views will be discussed at the meeting.  

After many attempts to play them face to face the 2019-2020 Season Challenge Cup and Plate Finals together with the Mimir Final were played online on Wednesday 26 May. 

Congratulations to Colly Wobblers who defeated Greyhound after 9 rounds to win the all Ormskirk Challenge Cup Final and to Bishop Eton who beat Judges 44-43 to take the Plate.

Many thanks to Bill Thomas for managing the competitions and to Dave Tilley for providing the majority of the questions.  Full results here.

In a very closely contested final Karl Whelan became Mimir champion for the fifth time after defeating Pat Gibson in a tie-break.  John Wilson and Mark Kerr were the other finalists in a match where the players finished within three points of each other.  Very well done to all concerned.  Full results here.

This took place on Monday 10 May and 17 May.  Many congratulations to Pat Gibson who won a closely contested Final.  Thanks to everyone who took part and assisted in the running of the competition. Results here.

Many congratulations to Unison who remained unbeaten in their 6 matches to win the Merseyside Online Challenge.  This replaced the playing of the Merseyside Challenge Cup this season.  Full details here.  Thanks to all the teams who took part, to Bill Thomas and Cliff Houghton for their organisation and to Dave Tilley and Derek Moody for setting and verifying the questions.

Let's hope that by the Autumn we might be able to return to the regular competition!
