Merseyside Quiz Leagues

Merseyside Individual Challenge 2021

As you are aware quizzing in the 2020-21 season was cancelled in November.  To replace this season’s playing of the traditional Mimir, the following competition has been proposed.

Format

• Players will be drawn into groups of between 6 and 12.
• That draw will also be used to put the players into a seating order.
• In each round each player will be asked 1 question scoring 1 point if correct.
• If passed or answered incorrectly, the question is offered as a bonus to other players.
• A bonus attempt accepted and answered correctly scores 1 point and the attempt recorded.
• If a bonus attempt is accepted but answered incorrectly the attempt is also recorded.
• A bonus offer that is declined is not recorded.
• A player’s seating position and bonus answering history determines the order in which they are offered a bonus attempt.  A Scoring App is used to work this out.
• After 10 rounds the top scoring players qualify for another round played in the same way.
• Each match could be officiated by 1 person; however a separate QP and Scorer are preferable.

Organisation

• The players are drawn randomly into 6 groups.
• The top 5 players from each group are then placed into 3 groups of 10.  Seating position is drawn randomly.
• The top 3 players from these three groups qualify for the Final. Seating position is drawn randomly.
• The competition is played over 2 evenings.

Schedule

The match dates are

• Monday 10 May at 7.45pm
• Monday 17 May at 7.30pm
