Connections League - Game of the Week

 

The Connections Online Quiz League (ran by the team behind the Online Quiz League) is now in its second season and the quality has been high. Once again, I have teamed up with my fabulous team mates from Disparate Origins to enter and we have had had a decent start, with a 3 wins 1 loss record. Above is the link to the video from the Game of the Week, which gives you a taste of the questions and indeed if you are interested in taking part in future events then head over to Quiz Central for more information

Quiz Bowl League - Call for players

 

The Quiz Bowl League launched around 2 months ago, and without blinking the first season is almost over! Quiz Bowl is not something I have ever really had the chance to do, so I was very keen to partake in the league and overall its been a superb, smoothly run experience. The questions are superb, the 7 divisions are well spread out and its a fantastic chance for people not usually given the chance to compete in Quiz Bowl to play!

Season 2 is now open for sign ups.....check it out HERE

Evan Lynch - British Quiz Champion

 

Congratulations to Evan Lynch on becoming British Quiz Champion for the first time at the event held across the UK yesterday! One of the most prestigious events on the British Quiz Circuit has a new winner, and Evan is someone I have mentioned several times on the blog over the last year, having stormed through the quiz scene in all manner of competitions from MIMIRS Wells to OQL.

Information on the event and links to buy the questions can be found HERE

Online Quiz League - Season 5 - Call for Players and Teams!

 

The Online Quiz League, which was launched around 18 months ago, is currently on a mid season break with Season 5 due to start on 29th September 2021. This is the perfect chance to get involved!

The league was launched at the start of the first UK lockdown with the intention of providing quizzing action for the UK quizzing community and beyond. The league has grown season on season and continues to attract a wide range of players.

With multiple divisions, promotions and relegations and spin off competitions, there is something for everyone in OQL. Yes, the top divisions contain the finest quizzers in the country such as TV's Chasers and Eggheads, but the team have done a great job structuring the divisions meaning no matter how experience a quizzer you are, you will be playing at a level similar to yours!

The league takes place every Wednesday at 8pm (UK Time) and its played in teams of 4. You can enter as a team, or if you are an individual entering, you will be placed on a scratch team.

I am sure I speak for the hundreds of other quizzers who have played in OQL when I say it quickly became a weekly highlight and shows no sign of slowing down as society re-opens.
