Congratulations to Mark Kerr of the Cricketers for scoring a full house.

Draw for the quarter finals, games to be played on 24^th April 2023, at the venues listed below.

May I thank you all for getting the results to quickly to me last night, unfortunately one team had technical difficulties and could not get the information to me until today, but I could not update the draw until I came home late this evening.

Round Two games will be played on Monday 17^th April 2023. Questions will be sent by post as some of the home teams opted for paper questions and I do not want to mix paper and electronic distribution.

Quarter finals will be played on 24^th April 2023, so I would appreciate it if you would send the results in with the same speed as last night.

Online Quiz League are running their inaugural individual championships on Saturday 25th March.  Around 300 players have already signed up to play at venues up and down the country.  The day involves a written individual quiz featuring 200 questions across a whole manner of subjects and then two fun team quizzes in the afternoon.

This is looking like being the biggest event of its kind ever in the UK and one of the venues is the Cross Keys, a pub in Liverpool city centre.  There are currently around 15 spaces left available there and it would be great to see those spaces filled with MQL players.

The Liverpool Quiz League Mimir heats will take place on Wednesday 15th February 2023.  This is a competition open to all members of the Liverpool Quiz League.  The winner will receive the Arthur Evans Trophy and will hold the title for a year.

The Competition and what happens;
Four players play in each heat. Each heat consists of five rounds of three questions to each player.  Usually the winning two go on the next round, ending in a final of four players. The precise make-up of the heats all depends on how many players take part.  The top eight players are invited to go forward to Merseyside heats on 22nd March 2023 at New Brighton CC, Wirral.  Competition format can be found here.
