As pubs around the country closed their doors, the thousands of quizzers around the country who played regularly in the many leagues on offer suddenly found themselves with free evenings. Dave Tilley, who has written for several quiz leagues, formulated the Quarantine Virtual Quiz League (QVQL) and attracted a wide range of players from TV Eggheads and Chasers to quiz league regulars to quiz newbies. Two divisions soon formed and as Season 3 continues to roll on, the league is still going strong.
I was lucky enough to be teamed up with a great team of players for another league (to mention later) and we decided to enter this league and on the whole have really enjoyed it. Its a typical 4v4 individual question style league with all questions written by the teams involved. It takes place every Tuesday at 9pm and with the diversity of setters, you never quite known what yo expect when you turn up! With 3 seasons launched, two cup competitions and a great post-quiz scene Tuesday night quickly became one of the highlights of my week.
In fact, the post-quizzing action in QVQL is always great fun and there are always people throwing questions at each other in the Zoom room late into the night! Many 2am sessions have been had and it has been great to have such a "social" option during lockdown when other opportunities weren't there!
The league is entirely free to play, and like many quizzes, I am grateful to the team who ensure everything runs well! I for one certainly hope it continues long after lockdown is distant memory...
p.s. the League doesn't have a website but if you are keen to play pop me a message and Ill put you in touch with the relevant people!
