Photo Quizzes

Post by jonny »

Photo Quizzes -- Im thinking this would be a good scoring system for the league table (may as well put thought into this seeing as we've already had 4 quizzes!). Any objections or suggestions post them below:

2 points for a correct answer
-1 point for an incorrect answer
0 points for not entering
Bonus points can be awarded by the quiz organiser

Jonny

EDIT: Poll added as suggested by Soup Dragon. Will end in 7 days. Get voting .... :)

Ah, ok, I see your point there. And Soup Dragon has raised a similar point.
I'm about to see if I can add a poll onto this thread but if not I shall start a new one.

Cheers

Yeah keep it simple. One point for every right answer.

Incorrect Stations

Whatever happens about points, I'd find it interesting to see which incorrect stations were guessed (as with Quiz 2). I'd rather not be named and shamed when I get one wrong, though.

Personally it does not bother me, however, the photo quiz is meant to be a bit of fun so if we do name and shame it might put some people off entering.
One day I shall return!

OK well I said I'd leave it seven days but we've already had more votes than people who have actually entered for quizzes 1 - 3 so I'll probably take the result on Saturday when this weeks quiz results come in.

The only reason I ''named and shamed'' people was because, photo quiz 3 (my quiz) was due to finish. The results from quiz 2 had not yet been given out, therefore I did not know if Soup Dragon was going to say the names of people who got the question wrong or not. So I just decided to name them anyway.

Because of this highly offensive mistake I will no longer be taking part in the photo quizzes.

(that does not mean I will stop being an quiz organiser)

It was hardly a highly offensive mistake to make, I got named and shamed and actually thought it was quite funny that I was one of the few fools who got it wrong :P

274 guesses should be enough.
