PLAYOFFS - The Ridiculously Difficult Geo Quiz

[cuban smoker]

Signup here to play in the Playoff rounds of the Ridiculously Difficult Geo Quiz.

The format will work like so:

The rankings from the original R D Geo Quiz will be used to determine seedings. Of the people who sign up, the first place person will start by playing the last place person, etc. The player who wins each round will move on to the next round. After each round, the winners will be re-seeded (That is... with 8 players, if 1,7,3,4 go on, 1 plays 7 and 3 plays 4 in the semis.)

As well, the higher ranking people will be able to submit preference lists for their topics, which will be posted after all signups.

If you didn't play in the geo quiz, don't worry, you can still sign-up! You will just be ranked at the bottom.


Play format like this: It will all take place in this thread. All rounds will be conducted at the same time, so there will be multiplte questions being answered in this thread. You alternate answering the questions with your opponent. +1 for correct answer, no penalty for wrong answer. You may only answer your question. No BONUS points for getting the last one. NO OUTSIDE SOURCES! If 24 hours pass, you may guess again. Planned absences will pause the game, (please contact me) and override the 24 hour rule. Question closes after 48 hours (barring a planned absence). Ties go to a very difficult 1 answer question, answered by email.

That should be it.

Kind of ironic, considering my name, that I am least rank.

[Lepton]

If I'd have know about this, maybe I wouldn't have wasted all my points with Dethy on that last question.

Its Ridiculously Difficult!

[Qaqaq]

Sure, I'm willing to humiliate myself further. In.

[Faeriefire]

Well, as long as I get one point, I'll be happy . . .

/in please

[Ghost Post]

if anyone previous non-participants want in, i'll give my score to the highest bidder!

[CrystyB]

bah, 48h... As much as i'd like to be the first one to be eliminated, i'd rather be /out than hold back my opponent.

[Lucky Wizard]

Sounds cool. /in

[Captain Canada]

In please.

[Captain Canada]

Actually, if this looks like going on for over a week I'd better decline as I'm on holiday from next Thursday. Sorry.

[Duphrates]

Go on then, count me in too...though I must warn you, I am ridiculously bad at Geography.

[cuban smoker]

CC, I'm away from Thursday to Tuesday. I was going to start it then, next Tuesday.

[Quailman]

vote: Wait for the Captain

[Captain Canada]

Sorry then Cuban old chum, I shall have to decline the offer of playing. I'm away on my hols in France for 3 weeks so it's impossible to play fully, sorry again.
BTW
That 2003 geoquiz champ Agamemnon will not be able to compete either. He will be in France too

[Lepton]

I wouldn't mind waiting a few weeks for Aga, err... Canada's greatest hero.
Anyone else?

[cuban smoker]

They could get byes... ?

[Captain Canada]

Go ahead with it Cuban old chum, 3 weeks is a long time on the GL to wait for some game movement.
Leppy and Quailman will just have to live with their shallow victory

[mith]

Just give Quail and Aga byes til the semis or something.

Or I could read all the posts.

[Lepton]

Good idea, mith.
Now that I've advanced slightly in the standings, I need to go find Houdini and the other one.

[Lucky Wizard]
