A Question of Sport - The Thread

[The Great Cornholio]

Six Minute Round - the rules.

This should sort the men from the cheats (sorry, boys). Both teams will get 20 questions. The rules must be strictly abided by. There will be no punishment for an incorrect answer. But, each player can only give 1 answer each post. With the 30 second delay between posts, this means that you may end up posting duplicate answers to your team mates. Don't bother conferring - just answer as many questions as you can.

Any team member can post. I will post TIME UP and answers after this post will not count.

Just post the question number and answer.

I.E. 1. Tim Henman ( I hope the answer to number 1 isn't Tim Henman!)

Remember, only 1 answer per post.

If you are unclear as to the rules, speak within the next 2 minutes before I post the questions.

So if we get an answer wrong someone else in the team can still get it right ?

Yep - like the real game. Just keep shouting out answers. But, remember, NSC will only let you post every 30 seconds so answer ones you know first is probably best although your other team members might have beaten you to it.
