Around the country, and indeed the world, quizzers are coming up with new ways to keep each other entertained during lockdown periods. I will write a separate post at some point, but the whole 'necessity is the mother of invention' idea may well lead to long term changes and innovations in the quiz community that can only be for the better.
Anyway, today I just want to mention the Online Quiz League which has been set up by Merseyside based quizzer Jon Stitcher. It is likely, that if you follow quiz shows with an attentive eye, you will have noticed Jon pop up on various shows including recent editions of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? and a recent series of Mastermind.
With the closure of quiz leagues for the foreseeable future, the Online Quiz League takes the individual question format many leagues around the country adopt (QLL style) and moves it online using Zoom. A fine range of quiz setters are on board, there are two divisions of players from across the UK including Mastermind champions, Brian of Britain winners and some of the top ranked players in the country.
It all takes place on a Wednesday night and although the two divisions are full at the moment, Jon in on the hunt for further players for an 'overspill' division, Full details of the league, including a couple of sets of questions from the opening games are found HERE. Whether you are an individual or a team looking to fill that quiz league void...I am sure Jon would be keen to hear from you.
