Xmas Gift Guide #1

 Every year since starting the blog I have posted some form on end of the year guide to my favourite and most useful quiz books of the last year and indeed general books/games etc that may serves as good gifts for the quizzer in your life!

If you are new to the blog on the back of hearing the podcast, then these are the posts I am referring to in recent episodes of the podcast. If you click the link, regardless of what you end up buying then it will help towards the running costs of the podcast. Much appreciated!

Anyway....

On with the first recommendation and it is a repeat from last year, as not only have I enjoyed this book so much, but I feel its an ideal gift for the music quizzer. David Hepworth has written a lot of quality factual work and used his knowledge to produce what I am tempted to suggest is the best music quiz book on the market.

The book goes for quality over content and produces a wide range of themed rounds with questions that feel fresh, provoke interest and will challenge people of all quizzing abilities. Its ideal for collaborative work but equally good as a base for learning and improving your own knowledge. The answer pages come directly after the questions and include descriptions and additional information...what more can you want,

Coming in a lovely hardback sleeve, this is a great present idea but also great for your own use. If you do buy it , let me know what you think!

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. 

All information is HERE and if you do sign up please quote QuizAddict (or Daniel Fullard) for your referral information.
