* Sporcle Challenge 2022 *

Post by morganb »

As mentioned on the Christmas Sporcle thread, I thought we could give a weekly competition a try again.

I'm sort of half running it with, hopefully, a lot of help from you...

We will take it in turns to set a sporcle quiz from the main site: https://www.sporcle.com/

We will do F1 style points for the top 10 each day (25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1).

New quiz to be set each Monday morning with a deadline of 7 days from the time the quiz was set.

Each volunteer needs to set a quiz on their chosen day - their choice of topic/format.


To prevent the topic of the quiz being visible please post the link in the following format:

[url=https://www.sporcle.com/replace_with_your_chosen_quiz]Week N Link[/url]

Which will show in your post as a clickable link with the text:

Week N Link


I'll try to update the scoreboard at the end of each week (weekly and overall charts).

Quizzes to be set by 12 noon if possible please.

Just do the quiz and post your score from your first go.

Please be honest - no pausing, no restarts, etc, etc.


First things first - we need volunteers to set the weekly quiz - just copy the following ROTA and add your name next to a date.

ROTA - Date/volunteer:

06 January 2020 - morganb

Chuffed to bits with that after the first time through!

Will commit to my turn at setting when we get through the first few if that's ok - may be away at some point, but not sure when.

Just 7 for me on that one. I get what you mean about the quiz, it's a bit like throwing mud and seeing what sticks :lol:
