Merseyside Quiz Leagues

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!

We have sufficient interest to run a short season from late May to the end of July.  If you wish to take part then these are the important dates;

•    By Friday 30 April.  Please send an email to Paul Davitt to confirm your Registration.

•    By Friday 14 May.  Please send a set of questions to Cliff Houghton.

•    Monday 24 May.  Season 3 begins (no fixtures on 31 May).

The 2020-21 AGM was held on Sunday 18 April 2021.  Details here.

At the last Council Meeting (14 March) it was proposed that the 2021-22 Season not start until January 2022.  After some discussion it was agreed that just ahead of the next Council Meeting (27 June), all teams should be canvassed for their opinions.  It was thought that by say mid-June, they could be in a better position to weigh up the lifting of restrictions, their players' feelings about face to face meetings and the availability of venues.  Area secretaries were asked to contact their teams about this time.
It was also suggested that if it was felt that we could perhaps start a normal season in September, that the Leagues should consider the temporary restructuring of their divisions.  The aim would be to give maximum flexibility for coping with a 'winter break' or a shortened schedule should COVID restrictions be re-imposed.

In the meantime, your Area Secretaries will have been in touch about the following two competitions;
The Merseyside Individual Competition on Monday 10 May with finals the following week.  Please contact your Area Secretary immediately if you want to make a last minute entry. 

The three leagues that have been running online will soon come to an end.  If any teams are interested in a short season in June or July then again please contact your Area Secretary to register.
