Dave Cotson RIP

Dear All,

It is my sad duty to write and advise you of the passing of Dave Cotson, he was a founder member of CTK Wanderers, they started playing in the early 1980’s and he was their first team Secretary.

He also played for many years in the President’s Shield and was part of the Liverpool 2 team that won the Shield 8 times in 11 years. Dave and Brian Thompson organised the annual CTK charity quizzes from 2004 to 2020.

In later years increasing ill health forced him to stop playing, but he carried on as question master until he was unable to play.

He will be greatly missed by his family, his friends from CTK Wanderers and throughout the League.

 

Paul Davitt

MQL Pairs Competition 2024 - The Final

You can watch the final of this year's MQL Pairs competition at the link below

2024 Merseyside Pairs Competition

The fourth Diamond Jubilee Pairs competition will be held on Wednesday 25th September starting at 8 pm at Prescot Cables FC club, courtesy of the Ormskirk QL.  The address is Eaton Street, Prescot, L34 6HB.

Format

All entrants will be placed into either a higher or lower pool and on the night a draw will be made to create pairs made from a player from each pool.  The First Round is a 40/50-question written quiz that will find the top 6 pairs.  In the Semi-finals these six pairs will be asked questions in turn in a 15 to 1 type format.  A pair has three lives and loses a life each time they answer incorrectly or fail to answer.  There are 10 seconds to answer and there are no bonuses.  The questioning continues until only three teams remain.  Those three teams then contest the Final played in the same way until a winning pair is found.  If there are sufficient numbers then the Pairs finishing seventh, eighth and ninth in the First Round will contest a Plate Final on the same lines as the Final.

Entry

If you would like to take part, then please send an email entitled Merseyside Pairs to either me (briathom59@gmail.com) and perhaps copy it to your League Secretary.  Entries will be confirmed on the Sunday before the competition.  The competition is open to MQL players and there is no charge for entering.

Reports on previous competitions can be seen on the webpage and a recording of the 2023 Final can be viewed here.

I hope that you will be able to join us and look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards

Brian Thompson

MQL General Secretary
