Auld Alliance
Result of the league final: 3rd July 2005
Congratulations to Fromage Dur! Excellent job. In a very tight finish, barring the results from the urine samples, the Tail Enders came second with the Polymaths third.
So Fromage Dur are the first side to enter the Auld Alliance Quiz Hall of Fame!
Thanks to everyone who took part.
A new league will start next week. Watch this space for any news.

Reports and weekly winners
12/06/05: Great turnout last night, and a closely contested quiz. Three teams within half a point and the winners were Polymaths. Well done them. Keep up with updates on rules etc on the message board.
15/5/05: OK, no report from week two, though the scores had improved over week 1. Week three has got the level right I think. There are new rules: There will only be four geographical questions in each round and three general questions. Teams with more than four members may compete for the prizes on the night as long as they stump up the entrance fee (1€) for all the people at their table. HOWEVER: In the league their score for the night will be reduced by 2 points for every member over four (teams scoring less than half the winning score on the night do not suffer this penalty). My suggestion is that you form more teams guys. After all, the prizes come in fours. What's the point? Surely winning with seven team members is a hollow victory.
If anyone who does the quiz wants to make any comments, join the message board and make them. I'd be particularly interested in your comments on the penalties for oversized teams. Should they be penalised on the night as well? Should there be a league bonus for teams of less than 4? Is two points too lenient? Controversy will reign!
Adam's Apple, I've decided to give you the full point for King Tut. The polo answer was also right for Eden Gardens. I should have specified the Ranji Stadium. Can you let me know via the message board who the team was who said Polo?
If any of these teams are the same team masquerading asdifferent names, let me know via the message board.
League leaders this week are: Strange Carnage (Winner of the last two weeks, though in the last quiz they were docked 5 points (one of them turned up half way through)).
1/5/05: Well it was a tough one. But almost all the questions were answered by somebody. Still I'd like to see that winning score getting closer to 25-30, so I'll see what I can do about that... However, well done to the Polymaths for winning the first Auld Alliance Quiz in a closely fought contest. Winners of the bonus questions were The Commune with 2 and The Anzacs with one. The Commune was by himself, so that was a handy evening's work! The Infantry arrived late (where have I heard that before) and only took part in the last three rounds. Look forward to seeing everyone next week! Jim
