Geo0 Index Steve Kidd's Home Page Steve Kidd's email Leeds University Geography Department Quiz Evening Wednesday 11th December 2002 5:00 - 7:30 p.m. Geography Foyer Teams Each team had four playing members plus unlimited substitutions between games Format Each team played the other, making a league of six games. It was never established how many points one got for a win! Games Questions were asked for two points each. The first team to buzz got the shot at answering the question. An incorrect interruption lost one point and the opposition were given time to discuss and think about it. For each 'Rookie' member (i.e. one which had not previously participated), a two point bonus was awarded. The first team to reach 30 points were the winners. Entry and Prizes Entry was £5 per team and the prizes were a globe, bottle of wine and chocolates. Results Post Graduates 27 Undergraduates 30 As draws were not possible, call it one point for a win, therefore League Standings Undergraduates 3 Looking at it another way Points Scored Undergraduates 90 Report Fab night, with five extremely tight and fascinating games. High scoring in that somebody somewhere usually knew the answer to the questions, although there were some illuminating insights into areas of expertise, i.e. What is it called where water emerges from the ground? Academics - "A Leak" Administration - " A Geyser" (I suppose the latter was a reasonable guess, but the answer was, naturally, a spring). Nobody knew the highest waterfall in the United States (Yosemite) or the highest mountain in Canada (Logan)! The Admin. staff were desperately unlucky in all their three matches. The Post Grads had the best turn out and supplied buns. Their playing of rookies, despite giving them a six point start against the Acs, seemed to balance out by the team not getting into their stride until the Acs were ten - nil up. The Academics may have missed their captain who didn't play the last game, which was their only loss, but don't tell Mark Birkin! The Undergraduates were just awesome. Never a doubt. Have it...oh yes Conclusions Do it again What's Next The English and Classics Departments have expressed a desire to participate in a quiz night. More details later.
