Seen as Steph has organised the Fantasy League and Steve the Prediction League (check out the sports board) I'v decided to contribute something myself by doing a quiz. It will be kept nice and informal with anybody welcome to join in at anytime.
Heres how it will work. I will post ten questions based on a theme that will sometimes be Blaze related and sometimes something completly different. Then its down to people to post their answers. Some of the questions will be ridiculously easy while others will be ridiculously hard.
For every question that you are the first person to answer correctly you will receive 10 points, for every question that you are the second person to answer correctly you will receive 5 points, for every question that you answer correctly before I have posted the answers but has already been answered correctly by two or more people you will receive 1 point.
The first set of questions will be posted tommorow and they will be based on the theme Festive Blaze about past Blaze games or events that have took place in December or January.
Stay tuned.
