Our local tag league hosted a table quiz for charity following last night’s programme of games, with almost all teams in the league entering a team. As we obviously had nothing else to do, our team entered three teams!

The questions were mostly* well-thought-out and the standard of answering was high.  The winning team finished up on 56 out of 60**, with my own brigade in joint-third on 54. Yes, it was that tight.

Update: Answers here.

* There was a True or False round. I consider that a bit lazy really.

** The Michael Jordan quesiton was a ‘tie-breaker’, at the end of the Sport round. I’m not sure if it was used for scoring purposes.
