This is the place to find all information relating to the upcoming Quicknotes Quiz League for 2012.
2012 will see the third and final league, and for those who haven’t played before, it consists of ten rounds of general knowledge questions. Questions are written in public quicknotes and each one is worth a total of 1,317,500 points!
The fastest five correct answers get the following:
1st gets 500,000 points
2nd gets 375,000 points
3rd gets 250,000 points
4th gets 125,000 points
5th gets 67,500 points
There are 10 subjects including Film & Television; Science, Nature & Technology; Sport; Politics & History and Music.
Rules:
• The order of the points is determined by the way quicknotes appear on my screen.
• Your answers must be in public qn (pqn will be ignored).
• You can only put one answer in each qn (no multiple guessing!)
• You can only have one guess at the answer until everybody has had a go, then second (and third) chances may be given. Any points not awarded after three tries will be ignored.
• Any answers that are just numbers or include numbers (eg ‘1942’, ‘4 days’) *must* be spelled out unless the question states otherwise.
• Capitalisation isn't important for your answers, but spelling is.
• If you think an answer or points award is wrong, you can challenge but if you are wrong you’ll lose points!
Points will be given out at the end of each round and the scoreboard will be carried forward to the next one. The overall winner wont be decided until after the 10th quiz, and there is a proper prize because whoever gets the most points will receive a year's Premium Membership! (If it’s tied, then each winner will get one!)
Quiz dates (all on Sunday, 6pm GMT)
Practice/Refresher Round: January 8th
Round 1: January 15th
Round 2: February 19th
Round 3: March 18th
Round 4: April 15th
Round 5: May 20th
Round 6: June 17th
Round 7: September 16th
Round 8: October 21st
Round 9: November 18th
Final: December 16th
All rounds will start promptly at 6pm UK time. You should be there on time and take part in all the quizzes to give you the best chance of that top prize, but if you’re playing for fun (or just points) you don't have to play every round or even the whole of a round. CSection won the first league, however the reigning champion is Blondie McConfusion so come on and try your luck against them (if they’re brave enough!)
Each round lasts about two hours (with a short break halfway though) and you can come and go as you please. The practice round is a great opportunity to see exactly how it works, as well as for me to shake off the dust!
During the quiz, the scoreboard will be displayed after 5, 10, 15 and 20 questions; the final scores and overall leaderboard will be posted on this board as the league progresses.
If you have any questions, please post here or private mail me.
See you in the league!
Dusty
good to see this is still going. will come play when i have the chance for fun and for old times sake. :P
not sure what this part means?
Any points not awarded after three tries will be ignored
Shall I start my seduction now to ensure that I hold on to my title? :P
Dusty! You don't know how happy your quizzes make me! I miss them and I love the competition of course.
Lori, he just means that if no one gets the right answer after 3 times of guessing, he'll just move on to the next question without awarding those points, instead of sitting here for an hour waiting for someone to get that 3 plus 7 equals 10. lol
Ah, how fun! One of the rounds is on my birthday so looking foward to my present! :)
hmm..... I see, if I have time maybe..... I have school most of these weekends well not on it but still. might have loads of homework.
Just to confirm Lori, if after three tries there are still points unclaimed for a question, I will ignore them and move on.
what if your spelling sucks?
haha; time to brush up on it then, I guess? Or some autocorrection software?
yeesh, time i do that in say HJ pad....
I believe this starts at 12 PM Eastern later today ?
today is the practice round.
real thing starts next week
Nope, 1 PM easten, I think
HJ Pad? They still have that shit?

So, Pipi’s initial win is wiped out by her not showing up for the second round, and enigma and HotPerro go joint-top on points! Naked Driver made a great showing to rock up at number 5 but don’t worry, there is still plenty of time left and there’s no telling what might happen. Don’t miss the third round of the quiz, on Sunday 18th March at 6pm GMT!
alright! guess I need to wake up before noon one of these times. not sure how I even made the first round. I was just lucky I guess.
Good news folks (for some, anyway).
Guess which category is coming back?
Yes that's right, maths! Oh yeah! ...
This way people will have to Google less and calculate more. lol wish the time was a bit different for us left coast people but hey, the world don't revolve around the Pacific Rim. lol
Hi folks, just a quickie to say that I should be on time for the start of the quiz today but it's Mother's Day so if I'm a few minutes late, feel free to take it up with my mum!

So, Top two remains the same, enigma holding on to his lead although he’s less than a million ahead of HotPerro!
HotPerro has the best overall and individual hit rate (both 78.3%); this means he has the most correct questions in all quizzes, as well as the most correct in the quizzes he’s played in. Other than this, no major movement since last month. Seven players make their debut in the league with BuckEyeFan92 placing highest at number 11.
The next round of the quiz will take place on Sunday 15th April at 6pm UK Time
Important Note: The UK is now on British Summer Time (daylight saving) so will be an hour further ahead compared to this month’s quiz; check your time difference and don’t be late!
Mother's day was in March?

Sorry for the delay in getting this up! So, enigma remains top but now only with a slender lead of 2 million points so he'd better watch it! :-)
Enigma and HotPerro now have equal best Hit Rates of 78% (individual and total) and there were 7 newcomers to the league, with YourBoyJD being the best of them.
There are 45 people on the leaderboard overall but only the Top 20 are listed here. If you want to know how you placed, drop me a line.
Don’t forget the next round, happening on Sunday 17th June, which will be the last one before the summer break!
Hi folks,
My apologies for not doing the quiz yesterday, I was indisposed (ie on holiday) and couldn't tear myself away from the pool, women and booze, so ....
But fear not! I will be back this coming Sunday (24th June) at 6pm to host Round 6 so be there.
I will ...

So not much change at the top, as the top two didn’t play this month. Inu-Princess jumps up to third after a good showing, and tHc makes the highest new showing at number 12.
There are only three rounds to go, but with over 26 million points up for grabs in each of those rounds, there is still everything to play for and the title is by no means decided!
Round 8 will take place on Sunday 21st October at 18:00 UK Time (that’s 17:00 GMT).
Don’t miss it!
Yea! Hope I make that one. I'm disappointed that i didn't make the last one as I had thought I must have been too late or early or something.
Hi folks,
Sorry for the short notice, but I won't be able to host Round 8 this weekend. Well, I might be able to, but there's a chance I won't be home in time so I will shift it to next weekend rather than risk letting you down.
So, the next quiz will be on Sunday 28th October, 6pm UK Time.
important Note: The Uk will have come off Daylight Savings and will back on Greenwich Mean Time (back an hour). Make sure you check your difference so you're not late!
Apologies again,
Dusty
Just a quick reminder that the 8th round of the quiz will be taking place tomorrow, that's Sunday 28th October at 18:00 Greenwich Mean Time. Reminder that the UK comes off Daylight Savings this weekend so make sure you arrive at the right time!

19 Fruity Biscuit 2,385,000
20 IGotChampSwag 2,135,000
So Inu-Princess2006 remains in 3rd place but after her win last weekend she is rapidly closing the gap on Perro and Enigma who didn’t play. Most of the scorers this month were debut players (nine of them), with Glymmer coming in highest at number 18.
Only two rounds to go, and still anybody’s game. Well realistically, any of 6 people can win it, so let’s all re-convene on Sunday 18th November at 18.00 London Time for Round 9.
By the way I have only printed the top 20 here; if you would like to see your placing, send me an email.
Cheers!
Hi folks, just a quick reminder that Round 9 of the Quiz will be on Sunday 18th November at 18:00GMT. This quiz will be a Jeopardy! theme, along the lines of the TV show. Other than this the rules and prizes will be the same so I hope to see you there!

So, with just the final round to go, Perro's lead is just over 5 million points. He's on target to win the championship and take the Premium Membership, however the only two possible contenders, enigma and Inu-Princess aren't far behind, so it depends on who turns up and how well you play!
There are still tons of points to be given out, so I hope you'll all come along to play the last ever Quicknotes Quiz, or just observe to see who takes the prize!
Sunday 16th December is the date, 19:00GMT is the time. Be there!
Yes I did say 19:00 that's an hour later than usual, just to build the hype (and to ensure I'm home in time!)

So there we have it, after ten rounds the champion of the quiz league is HotPerro, by a pretty convincing margin. Well done, you will be getting your year's Premium Membership very soon. And well done to everybody who played during the league, I hope you enjoyed the games.
All the points have now been given out and that is it for the leagues. Thanks for coming along and bearing with me during the hiccups!

Can this be an annual tradition? or is it just a once in a lifetime thing?
It has already been an annual thing to a degree; the quizzes have been going in one form or another since 2008, and this was actually the third league. Lots of questions, lots of points! (-:
are you going to do a league next year?
:)
Sorry, no. As it says in post 46, that's it ...
oh... i thought it meant that's it for this year.
hmm okay
Congratulations to this league's winner and all past winners. I know everyone who has participated in these quizzes appreciates all of Dussty's hard work and won't begrudge his wanting to end it after four years.
I just ate lunch. No, I don't care if this isn't the Our Randomnesses board, I've just seen this one sitting here, piddling around, not doing anything.
It doesn't seem as though many of the top players are still around, but ftho still are I have a couple questions. 1. Would you want it to continue? 2. Is anyone willing to take the role?
I would do if it there is still a lot of interest, but if not we'll leave it at that. It seems like people really enjoyed it so why not keep it going?
I'm far from one of the top players, but I'd definitely come back if someone were to revive the quizzes. I wouldn't be willing to take on that role but would help the person who took it in any way I could.
