Pre-Season Quizzes

Hello all. With the season ending and us Fantasy Football managers having little to talk about over the next two months, I’d like to take the opportunity to the announce the start of a summer of quizzing.

For the months ahead of the launch of the next season I’ll be hosting my second pre-season quiz competition. the first, which took place in 2014, was won by FFScout poster Notorious.

RULES

For those who don’t know or haven’t participated in the quizzes before, it is worth pointing out that there will be seven questions asked, which might consist of multiple parts. Each question will have a time limit of five minutes, and the first poster who correctly answers within the time limit first will be awarded the point. The poster(s) having the maximum amount of points at the end of the quiz will be declared the winner(s) of the quiz. There will be no tie break in case of a tie. In such a case, the quiz will be shared.

The individual poster who has accumulated the maximum number of wins after the quizzes are held will be declared the winner of the 2015/16 pre-season quizzes. I intend to host around 20 quizzes, but depending on feedback that number might be increased.

TIMINGS

The first quiz will be held on Friday, 20th of May 2016. I will notify the exact timing of the first quiz and of all the subsequent quizzes to follow through email. All those interested in participating in the quizzes can send me their FFS username on my email ID, which is bigmanbakar@gmail.com

You will be notified of the exact timings of a quiz AT LEAST 12 hours before a quiz is to be held through email. You can also bookmark my profile, in order to get further clarification on timings:

Looking forward to your feedback and positive response.

    Hang on Freaky - you are going to be busy on my accounts? 😕 😉

      I would highly recommend 'Accounting for Chris', Jafa - rather than some rookie quizmaster. He's kept me out of prison so far.

    Probably worth pointing out that you normally only allow each poster one guess at each question right?

      Yep, that's right.

        Yeah, looking forward to a bit of quiz action 🙂 I won't subscribe/try to participate in every one as I know I won't be able to and I don't take it as seriously as others but I'll definitely throw some wild guesses into the mix if I happen to log on at the right time 🙂

      Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙂

      As far as your earlier question is concerned (whether those without email can participate):

      Anyone on FFS can participate in the quizzes (even if you happen to be without email) .You don't have to 'sign up' through email necessarily - everyone on the website can participate. It's just that those who do send me their FFS usernames through email will be told about the timings via email at least 12 hours before a quiz is to be held directly. But I shall be posting the timings on FFS too. Bookmarking my profile for the latest update on timings might help:
