Brain of CW: Team Format

Howe_zat · 19-01-2013, 04:05 PM

A bit of cricket quizzical action to distract us from the lack of Test cricket on right now.

Inspired by a low-budget affair I saw on BBC2 the other day, the purpose of Team Format is to provide a bit of game strategy and the chance to come up with some of those hil-arious team names I'm sure you're capable of.

There'll be 4 rounds of 10 questions, with each round on a specific category, e.g. "Tests before 1939", "World T20", or "The Life and Works of Jeetan Patel". Playing in teams of four, you'll have one nominated player answer privately each round. If your team does well, you'll have more players available for the final winner-take-all round, for which conferring will be allowed.

Details to come up when I'm asked or we need them. For now, I just need you to post your interest and start a few teams.

Pickup

Cabinet96 · 19-01-2013, 04:09 PM

Interested. I'll leave the other more creative and humours folk to come up with teams names, however.

Pothas · 19-01-2013, 04:13 PM

If anyone decides on "Clueless" they don't deserve to play.

Marcuss · 19-01-2013, 05:04 PM

Sure thang,

Agent Nationaux · 19-01-2013, 06:30 PM

"Statistical Sluts"

"Mind numbing number crunchers"

I'm in I guess.

Why isn't it roses and rainbows like what happens here? PEWS's retort to Ganeshran on Daemon's picture depicting Ajmal's excreta
