Here’s your chance to win yourself a FREE Premium Membership! How? Take part in the upcoming Quicknotes Quiz League and if you win, you’ll become Premium (or have your existing Premium extended)!
As you may know, the Quicknotes Quiz takes place on a Sunday and loads of points are given away; the latest quiz was the 18th one, and everybody who scores points gets these transferred these at the end of the quiz.
The Quicknotes Quiz League will start with Quiz 21 and continue through to Quiz 30 (ten weeks). Whoever is top at the end of the series will win the Premium Membership! Here are the rules for each quiz:
There are 20 general knowledge questions (topics such as food, history, entertainment, film, maths, technology), each worth a total of 1,317,500 points
I post each question in public qn, and points are given to the five fastest correct answers as follows:
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
The order of the points is determined by the way quicknotes appear on my screen; there is sometimes debate about what order this is, but I refresh as quickly as I can once I've posted the question.
You must put your answer in public qn; private qn will be ignored and wont count.
You can only put one answer in each qn.
You only have one guess at the answer until everybody has had a guess, then second guesses may be allowed
Any answers that are just numbers *must* be spelled (unless the question says otherwise).
Capitalisation doesn’t matter for your answers, but spelling does.
The following new rules will also apply for the League:
If you think an answer or points award is wrong, you can challenge it *but* if you are wrong you’ll have points deducted
The result of each quiz will be carried forward so all results will count. It wont matter if you do badly in one quiz, you’ll have plenty of time to pick up points. The league will be based on overall points, not number of wins.
Although you may score points during the league, you’ll only be awarded final points if you finish top 20 overall (this number may change depending on how many of you are interested).
The leaderboard for each quiz will be displayed after 5, 10 and 15 questions but the overall League wont be published until later on
All quizzes will start promptly at 6pm UK time. You are free to come and go as you please during each quiz or the whole league, but you’ll need to be there on time and take part in all the quizzes to have the best chance of that top prize! Each quiz lasts about two hours (with a short break halfway through).
I hope this is all clear, and don’t forget that the next two quizzes will be standard rules, standard points.
If you’re interested in taking part in the League, please send me a private mail (so the board doesn’t get clogged) just so I can get an idea of how to structure the points etc. Also if you have any questions about the League post them here. And spread the word, remember there’s a real prize at stake lol
Dusty,
I'll be the first to start clogging up your board. I really really love this idea. You so totally know how to feed my competitiveness. I can't wait for the next quiz and for this league thing to start. Just hope I can make it to all the quizzes. That or pay you off with personal favors or something. hehehheh
Count me in!! I will finish in the top 10. That's my goal
Just to update, the Quicknotes Quiz Leage will start in 4 quizzes time. I forgot that one of the standard quizzes was a face-off between Cam and Pipi so there have actually only been 17, not 18. Other than that everything else stays the same ...
I'm off to pvt mail you to count me in, lest I clog up this board. LOL.
Diane

Woo, well done Cam, though it was close right through! That's the result for today, but I will publish the full league shortly.
There's no quiz next weekend cos I'm on a training course, so week 3 will be in a fortnight (10th August)
Could someone do me a favor and tie Cam and Pipi up in a cave somewhere for the next several weeks so I have a snowball's chance in hell? Please?

So the top three hasn't changed, but Kev has jumped up 8 places from last time. Becky dropped two and there were four new players registered! Still plenty of time to go so if you haven't played before, join us on the 24th August!
Way to go Kev love! AWESOME showing!
Hey Dusty
No need to apologize for what you called the fuck ups. I actually liked having the last few questions asked without so much time in between. Of course, part of that was that I just wanted to get my miserable defeat overwith for the week. LOL
Good job everyone.
yes dusty don't worry, I liked the faster pace personally! great job, and as always thanks!!

Well Cam’s back on top (though Pipi wasn’t around this week so she drops down to 2nd). Perro remains in 3rd, Becky jumps 2 to 4th and Diane? Well she seems to like it in 5th spot! Revv Theory had a good game in his first quiz and debuts at 9 overall bumping Lory in to 10th.
Still plenty of time to go (6 more weeks) and by my reckoning the league should finish on 5th October. I hope to be around next week, but I’ve been invited to a surprise birthday party so I hope to spend Saturday night in the back of a limo with some fine-looking women. Failing that, my beer-goggles and some women whose fineness improves as the night goes on. If I’m not back in time, I’ll try and post to let you know, otherwise, assume I’ll be here!
Dusty,
I hope for your sake that you are unable to make the quiz and can make it elsewhere. :) Seriously, have an awesome time at the party and we'll see you if you are back or catch it the next week if you are not. Thankfully the quiz wasn't nearly as dramatic this time. I did miss Pipi though and bummer that Kev was having BC issues. Good showing for the newcomer to the quiz, Brandon. Becky, you are always saying you'll never win and look at your standing. I am 5 forever, which is good because it is in fact prime. By the way, my husband is fine from his fall. However, he and the boys are still out in the garage cleaning. Falling through the ceiling led to cleaning out the attic, which led to fixing the ceiling, which led to cleaning out the rest of the garage, which seems to have included installing shelves for storage, putting in some lights, killing wasps, and sadly, cleaning up a stinky spill of liquid sander (whatever the heck that is) that no one is claiming they tipped over during the building of the shelves. Bless them, they are probably all high from inhaling it and have hung the shelves upside down or something comical like that. All in all, I think that when they are done, the garage will be cleaner than the cleanest room in here. I've got to go scrub the kitchen floor, just to compete. Thanks again Dusty. Love the quizzes!
Diane
nice work dusty, thanks
Dusty, like Diane I hope you have a great time Saturday night and will understand (but will be very jealous) if you have such a good time that we have no quiz on Sunday.
I'm back in the top five probably due to Pipi being out this week. And Kev didn't fall too far considering he didn't get to play much this week. Everyone did a great job.
dusty nice job as always, this is the best I every did. was fun!! thanks its appreciated!
I wasn't able to make it this week, due to some electricity problems we had over the weekend. I'm glad that my absence didn't put me back too far.
I missed you LeAnn. I hope you get to play next time. Missing one week doesn't seem to hurt people too much.
Thanks Becky. I should be able to make the next one. I was mad that I couldn't be there. LOL
Hiya folks, just a quickie to let you know that I wont be home in time to do the quiz this week, so week 5 is postponed until Sunday 7th September.
Apologies and thanks for your (anticipated) understanding!
hahahaha to much partying?? enjoy the weekend. Oh boy quiz or opening weekend of football!!
Damn Binni that sucks. I am here this week but not next. *seriously pouting...
Dusty,
Give the Pipi love my points from last week. Better yet give her mine and Cameron's.
Have fun love. Sorry you can't make it, but I hope you're having an awesome time.
Diane
Seriously, let her have mine. :P

Well that’s shaken things up a bit huh? Cam maintains his lead, however Pipi has now missed two weeks and slips to 5th as a result. Perro moves up to replace her and Diane is up to third. Becky is holding steady at 4, Data is the highest debutant at 22 and 8 others make a new appearance.
Just as a side issue (and to blow your mind with stats!) Cam, Perro and Becky all have a 50% 'hit-rate', that is they’ve gained points in 50% of all the league questions so far. Looking at individual hit-rates (ie how many times people have placed in the quizzes they’ve taken part in) the best are Pipi with 58% and Diane with 53%.
Next quiz is same time next week, and as I’m not anticipating being away for any more Sundays, the final will be on October 12th! Woo!
A good time as always Dusty.
Pipi I reminded him about giving you my points, you'll see that I played better than ever for you, but he said no.
And halleluia, there was no drama during this quiz!!!!!!!!
wow interesting change. No one should get anyones points. you should have to earn them. Sorry just my opinion.
Sometimes gifts are given not earned, but I understand Dusty's rule and your opinion too. All is good and she'll come back and whip our butts without my points anyway.
yes she will, I can never get in fast enough I guess but its fun learning, and your smart to don't count yourself out.
awww diane, that is so sweet of you. when dusty first brought up the quiz league, i knew that i wasn't going to be able to make them all. and well i'm going to miss this coming weekend also, unfortunately. while a premium membership would be awesome and would save me some money for next year, to me it's all about the competition of the day. so while i hate missing the quizzes, i love every single one i can be at.
i'm not dropping out, but not sure i can catch up now. but i'll be back in 2 weeks to try my hardest.

Oh my word, what a shake-up! Pipi won this week’s quiz with an awesome return (5,000,000 points). Diane and Gemini also played very well. Combined with Cam’s disappointing 5th place this means he’s still top but his previous huge lead has been cut to less than 1.5 million points.
Diane and Perro swap places, as do Pipi and Becky. No other movement in the top ten and Harp is the highest newbie at 28.
Perro has the best hit-rate for all 120 questions so far (50%), but looking at individual hits compared to quizzes played Pipi is the best player with a 62.5% ratio.
Four players are in direct contention for the lead but there are still 4 weeks and over 105 million points left so it really could be anybody’s game. Well done to you all, see ya next week. Over to you, Tom ...
I had to quit not far into the quiz due to stormy weather. I can't believe I didn't drop further than one place after Pipi's amazing performance. I might have stayed ahead of her if I had been able to stay. I'm not sure if I'll bother continuing, but we'll see when next Sunday rolls around. Thanks Dusty.
Oh you must continue. sorry about the weather, I figured that is why you left. Next, I have to show up 9 questions earlier hahahahaha
Becky, I wondered where you went. We figured it must've been due to weather. Don't give up. Even though it seems that we won't catch up to be in the running for the prize, it's still fun to play.
As the others have said Becky, you should continue. Apart from the fun, it's by no means a done deal, millions of points left and who knows what might "go down"?

So Cam remains at the top but his lead is now a slender 2.1 million over Diane. Pipi and Perro swap places after Pipi returned with a good showing to close the gap. Rest of the top ten remains as was except for Dan who climbs to ten. Dan (Harp) made a good showing too, jumping 17 places; Harmony is the highest newbie at 35.
The best overall hit-rate now belongs to Perro with 49.29% over 7 quizzes, but the best individual is still Pipi with 60%. 3 quizzes to go, still loads of points on offer (over 70 million) and no idea who’s gonna get that Premium Membership come October 12th. See ya next week folks.
Thanks dusty, as always.
Well Dusty, a good quiz as usual except for my lousy performance. Thanks for doing the quiz!

Well well well! Look at that! After a return to winning this week, Pipi has knocked Cam from his perch and taken the lead! It’s slender though, only 740,000 but after Cam’s poor showing he’ll have to go some to keep pace! Meanwhile Diane’s absence means she slips to 4th, allowing Perro to leapfrog. Again, not many points between them. Becky retains her favourite spot in 5th but Gemini is 6th and closing fast! Lisa and Bill both jump 7 places but no-one new joins the table. Perro still has the best hit rate (46.25) but Pipi still has the best individual rate of 60%.
So, two weeks to go and still no closer to knowing who’ll win that premium! Tune in next Sunday for the penultimate week!
Okay let's add an extra twist to this game. How about some betting on who will win that premium membership? Here are the current prices:
Cameron Macteapot 6 to 4 fav
Diane 2 to 1
HotPerro 5 to 2
Gemini 7 to 2
LibraLady 4 to 1
Blackbird 5 to 1
Revv Theory (Now Evan Shaerah) 7 to 1
brian33 8 to 1
The Prince of Darkness 9 to 1
Everybody else is 20 to 1 (excluding Pipi, who wont be around for the rest of the league)
Maximum bet is two million points, any winnings will be separate to the league and betting will close half an hour before the next quiz.
If you fancy a bet, transfer your points to me with a message stating who you're betting on. Prices may change but any changes will be posted here. And yes, you can bet on yourself. Good luck!
hahaha I should bet I don't have a chance in winning!!! hahahahaha but its freaking fun anyways!!

Well, it’s gonna be a close one, that’s for sure! Week 9 was blown open by an great battle between Harp and Diane, which Dan ultimately won by just 700,000 points. So that allowed Cam to return to the top although he was beaten by Diane this week. Diane and Perro swap places again, as do Becky and Gemimi who moves up to 5th place. Harp breaks in to the top ten, and the only new entries were from Caribbean Princess17 and buster gonad. Best overall hit-rate is HotPerro (who also has the most correct answers with 82), but the best individual quizzer is still Pipi with 60%.
So, does Cam have it all sewn up? Will Diane stomp him with a sprint up the home straight? Can Perro or Gemini stun them all with a power-run from the middle of the pack? Still too close to call I reckon, so tune in, why don’t you, for the last game in the league, where somebody is finally going to get that premium membership! Remember, the final game will be in two weeks on October 19th.
New betting on the league winner:
Cameron Macteapot 11-10 (was 6-4)
Diane 3-1 (was 2-1)
HotPerro 4-1 (was 5-2)
Gemini 9-1 (was 7-2)
LibraLady 12-1 (was 4-1)
Blackbird 20-1 (was 5-1)
brian33 25-1 (was 8-1)
Everybody else 33-1
Betting is open and you can bet again even if you did before with the new which limit is 5 million points.
Betting stays open until just before the final on 19th October, though prices may change during this time.
If you want to bet, please transfer your points to me, with a message saying who you’re betting on.
Also as I’m going to be away between now and the final, please send me a private mail so I remember to check my points transfers when I log in. Good luck!
LOL to the betting...I wondered what the heck you were talking about. Wow, wish I hadn't been late--I might have beaten the pizza man Dan had I played the whole time. I'm gone next weekend, so am glad there's a skipped day for our host. Dusty, do the quizzes really have to stop post game 10?
Enjoy your holiday and see you for the final!

Well there it is, Cam is the champion and gets a Premium Membership for his trouble, well done mate. And well done to everybody who has played over the last ten weeks and in the quizzes before then. Everybody who placed will get their points, and those of you who bet on Cam to win will also get those. Give me some time though, as I’ll have to do them in batches and it will take a while!
That’s all from the quizzes so I hope you have enjoyed them. I’m off for a long holiday soon, I think I’ve earned it! Thanks again ... Dusty
Well I've done most of the points (that was surprisingly quicker than I thought it would be) but some people have changed their screen names so if you are (or know the new name for) any of the following, please get in touch and claim your stash!
audacious brat, kissible82, chinadoll93, farmer jiles, thom3of5, princess leia, stevo1 and caribbean princess17. Oh, and gizmobear, you owe me half a mil ...
I wanted to be there for the final quiz, but wasn't able to be. Thanks for doing this, dusty. It was fun.
Binni,
I want to give you the biggest thank you ever! While I may sound sad or pathetic for writing this, the quicknote quizzes have been a part of my life that I loved from day one. I looked forward to every quiz. Sundays weren't the same when you weren't around. The quizzes were what nfl is to an american football fanatic.
I'm definitely going to miss them. Feel free to come back and do one every once in a while when you are bored or something.
KK going to stop rambling now. Binni, you're awesome and thank you so so so much for the quizzes.
Oh yes and a big congratulations to Cameron for winning. You're just lucky I missed 4 of the quizzes, otherwise that premium would be mine. :P lol great job cameron.
thanks again binni
Thanks a bunch for the quizzes dusty. Definitely looked forward to them, and will look forward to it if you decide to bring them back.
Enjoy your post quizmaster life. You did a great job and made Sunday afternoons/evenings (depending on time zones) enjoyable to a lot of folks.
Thanks so much Dusty. I totally agree with Pippi. I always looked forward to the quiz every weekend and even though sometimes, I couldn't be there, I always thought about it and stuff. lol. It really was fun and it fueled my competitive nature, so a big thank you hug from me. lol.
Hello Dusty, well the quizzes was tuns of fun and hope you resume them at some point in time. take a break, you earned it!!
Thanks bunches Dusty. I'll miss the quizzes, but totally understand why you need a break from them. Congrats Cam, and I have to agree that Pipi could have run away with the prize, had her schedule allowed her to be here more often. LeAnn, We missed you yesterday. :)

Hello all, it's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you, without a strong rhyme to step to ... Sorry, Eric B & Rakim there, great track, but I digress!
Since I made my brief reappearance on the site a few people have asked whether there are going to be any more quizzes. Now I know many of you enjoyed them and I enjoyed running them (for the most part!) so I thought I'd put the feelers out and see if there is any appetite for a new series.
Please post if you would like to see the quizzes return, the format will probably be the same, but the points will be much, much bigger! They definitely *wont* be weekly and are more likely to be once a month throughout 2010, though probably with a summer break. Anyway let's see what the interest is first cos if you don't want it, I sure as hell ain't gonna do it!
Ooh! I'd love to see another season of the quizzes. I had fun participating. My vote is yes.
Dusty, I vote yes, but I think once a month would be fine. I'm sure once a week was a hell of a lot of work for you, and you probably didn't know what you were getting yourself into when you started.
i vote yes! like a million times! i was all super excited to see this and was tempted to write yes over and over, but i'll stick to rabling instead. i vote yes for myself and every other zoner. they all say yes.
once a month works great for me. i've taken on some stuff on weekends, and would miss a ton if they were every week. just plan them for the weekends i'm here, ok?
again yes yes yes!
ok going to lay off the coffee and crack!
ooo i vote yes toooo! i missed lots of them last year especially in the end, but they really were something good that so many of us enjoyed, it was like guys parking themselves on the couch with the remote on hand on sundays to watch football and nothing else exists. like the streets are deserted on thursday nights cause big brother is on. laugh.
once a month works fine for me too, so i wont miss so manyyy. also less chance to cause the quiz master to fall into total madness, though that would probably be amusing to witness. :P
Dusty, plan them for weekends when Pipi is busy so the rest of us have a chance? Please? JK
Oooh, my vote is definitely yes. The quizzes were a lot of fun. Once a month sounds good.
I'd definitely be up for the return of the quiz. And once a month sounds great.
omg, I definitely vote yes too. It was sooooo much fun, and I learned alot, yay to education. And once a month sounds perfectly fine. I like this idea better because last time hwen it was once a week, I had stuff to do on the weekends and if I miss a quiz, it would always make me sad. THis is so exciting. lol
That would get me back to the zone for sure. I've missed the quizzes, but more importantly, I have missed you and your clever wit. And, I promise not to hug you. Smiles!!!! Yes, to once a month or whatever works best for you. Thanks!
Welcome back Dusty!! Of course we would like to have those fun and interesting quizzes! I can't wait!!
Brian
awwww for sure, i loved the quizzes!
Well thanks for all the support and enthusiasm folks, although I admit I didn’t give people the opportunity to say if they don’t want to see the quizzes return, so please feel free to tell me if and why you don’t want them back!
I'm going to start planning the return of the league next year, and I propose the following:
a monthly quiz, taking place on the last Sunday, with a break in July and August (there may be a one-week variation either side, to allow for last-minute changes)
the winner will be the league leader at the end of the series
the prize, as before will be a premium membership
points will be awarded after each quiz
I’ll also try and throw in some extra quizzes along the way, such as head-to-head, teams and 'Jeopardy!'; these wont count towards the league.
As I said I’m going to aim for the last Sunday in the month, at around 6pm UK time. If you have any ideas or suggestions I’d be happy to hear them. And it would be good if the CLs could support this with some promotion and news. Any chance?
Oh, and one last thing, once I know who'll definitely be taking part, I'll run another book to make it more spicy!
Count me in.
no one is allowed to say no. it's against the tos. :P
i'm so in.
yep. i'm deffinitely in on this dusty. looking forward to it.
dusty, this sounds just great. thank you.
i am in too, though it probably was obvious. :P
This sounds good to me. Count me in.
looking forward to the return of the quicknotes quizzes. I plan to participate.
Oh dear, I must learn to pay attentin to detail. Here I am today, on the last Sunday of the month, with my life rearranged to fit in the quiz. Um, you can tell I'm a teacher, because in my mind "the new year" I think in terms of school year not calendar year. Pathetic? Yes! But, I now see the 2010 target date. Do I get some starting bonus points for being overly enthusiastic? Or, more likely points taken off for being so ditzy?
See you in January.
Diane
Oh my! Bless you Diane, you sweet, dizzy thing you!
I suspect somebody's odds are going to be lengthened quite significantly hee hee hee
By the way, committing to the last Sunday of the month will cause a problem with December; I hate you all but not enough to make you try and play the final on Boxing Day! How about the third Sunday of the month?
See you on 17th January ..?
I will probably show on the holiday too.
Love you, Dusty!
sounds great to me dusty. i can't wait.
I'm definitely in in in. :). Can't wait.
okay cool. i'll be there

Now Diane, I don't want you showing up in July or August!
Also ... as a way of introducing new players to the format, reminding me how it all works and ironing out the glitches, I'll be doing a special quiz on January 10th, one week before the league starts. All questions will be on one subject so you'll need to brush up on your knowledge of ... all will be revealed soon!
There will be points for this quiz but they wont go towards the league so if you can't make it, no biggie.
Any questions, please send me a private mail cos my logins will be erratic until next month! Bue let me save you some time:
No: you can't have the questions in advance (you know who you are!)
No: you don't get extra points for sexual favours (Cam) and
Yes: there will be maths questions (Diane)
Peace and I'm Audi ...
Yay!!! I can make most of these dates, I think... except maybe June. I might be in England, I haven't got the date of that yet, and Gods only know if I'll have a connection...or time, for that matter. lol
nice, glad to see the return of the quizes!
Yeah, count me in for next year
omg awesome! so excited!
Awesome! glad I made it back to the boards to see this, definitely count me in.
Okay it's time to release the suspense and tell you all what the theme is for the special "Pre-League Quiz" to take place on Sunday 10th January.
All 20 questions will be on the subject of ... drum roll! ... Star Trek! The TV shows, films, characters, stories and everything inbetween. So start boning up, you've got 4 weeks to familiarise yourself!
Once again, please private mail any questions to me and I'll repost the rules, points etc nearer to the time.
Oh dear...Star trek?
So, about those sexual favours. I don't know anything about skywalker and all that...
oh god, anything else but that? lol but it will still be fun
really dusty? star trek? yuck. i might as well not even play. i know nothing about that stuff. heheheh
Yuck! I'll skip this one. Not interested in boning up on Star Trek facts.
Don't worry folks, it'll be nothing hardcore, some of the questions are multiple-choice and I'm sure that Google will be your friend :-)
As I said, the purpose is mainly to test the waters, so come along and jump in if you feel like. The standard general knowledge format begins the following week.
well as long as it's only a test run, i'll see what i can do. lol
I don't know as I do have homework and a radio show to run... and Not to big on sci-fi in general.
Rules for The Quicknotes Quiz League 2010
The league consists of ten rounds, each of which follows the same format.
There are 20 general knowledge questions, each worth a total of 1,317,500,000,000 points
I will write the questions in Quicknotes, and points will be given to the five fastest correct answers as follows:
1st gets 500,000,000,000 points
2nd gets 375,000,000,000 points
3rd gets 250,000,000,000 points
4th gets 125,000,000,000 points
5th gets 67,500,000,000c points
Topics will rotate between: Film & TV; Pick & Mix; Maths; Science & Technology; Sport; Politics & History; Music & Literature; 2009; Food & Cooking and Speech & Language.
The order of points is determined by the way quicknotes appear on my console; there is sometimes debate about what order this is, but I refresh as quickly as I can once I've posted the question so it is accurate.
Your answers must be in public quicknotes; pq will be ignored and wont count
You can only put one answer in each qn.
You can only have one guess at the answer, until everybody has had a guess, then second (and third) chances will be given.
Any answers that are just numbers *must* be spelled (unless the question states otherwise).
Capitalisation isn't important for your answers, but spelling is.
There will be ten quizzes and the leaderboard at the end of each one will be carried forward to the next one. The overall winner wont be decided until after the tenth quiz and there is a proper prize because the winner will get a Premium Membership! If it’s tied, then each winner will get one!
If you think an answer or points award is wrong, you can challenge but if you are wrong you’ll lose points
All quizzes will start promptly at 6pm UK time. You’ll need to be there on time and take part in all the quizzes to give you the best chance of that top prize!
The quizzes will last about two hours (with a short break halfway though) and you can come and go as you please.
The leaderboard for each quiz will be updated after 5, 10, 15 and 20 questions; the overall league leaderboard will be printed in this board as the league progresses.
Any other questions, let me know.
are you still doing a quiz this sunday as a practice?
Haha. Star Trek. I'll suck at that one, but I'll be there anyway!
This sounds like fun. I'll be there, joka.
:)
Yes Pipi there will be a Star Trek-themed practice run this Sunday, with the same format, and the points will be real!
The league gets underway next weekend but those of you who haven't played before should at least sit in for the practice, because you'll get a better idea of how it works and can join in more quickly. There wont be too much explanation during the first round of the league so Star Trek night will be the time to ask questions.
Oh, and don't forget to check your time difference from the UK so you turn up promptly. Late arrivals will be sent to the headteacher's office. Really late arrivals will be sent to my room ...
I'll be there at 8 PM UK time... :P
Thanks to all of you who played in tonight’s practice, it went quite well although thanks to my shockingly poor internet connection we overran by about 50 minutes! Despite that I know it will be back on track next week and be over within two hours!

dusty, I like the idea but I am still confused on betting system. I am not sure, but I will be online on the coming sunday at 11:00 pm my time, which would be 6:00 pm yours time (if I do not lose the power). is this correct time to join in?
he's only the returning champion because i missed a few quizzes. otherwise it'd have been all mine mine mine!
i can't wait dusty! yay bring it on.
After playing yesterday's quiz (well, the second half of it), i've made up my mind to at least have a go at the league. While a free premium would be nice, i'll probably just do it for the fun more than the premium membership. But anyways, thanks again dusty for such a great quiz and I look forward to the league!
Why is she favourite? i have inside info that her computer doesn't work quite as well as it once did, therefore surely the googling will be slower.
I'm at a good price though.
Yeah, since i'm a CL, my premium membership is automatic, but I too will play just for the fun of it. I enjoyed last Sunday's quiz. Being the winner is fun. *Grin* But seriously, I'd have enjoyed it even if I hadn't won. The fun is the game.
LOL, isn't skywalker Star Wars? Um, was there a release of today's topic that I missed?
Just general knowledge, Diane. Thank God, no Star Trek.
LOL, I may have a shot at one ot two. I have a stupid splint on my right hand, so typing is quite impaired. Not sure of speed or accuracy. Grr.
I'm moving all future posts to a new thread because this one has become staggeringly long. See the topic "Quicknotes Quiz League 2010" for updated and results from now on. Thanks,
